This role would suit a writer who likes to go out and explore because you'll be unravelling the secrets of the city and sharing them with our readers. With that in mind, you'll need to live in Leeds, and have a good knowledge of the city, as well as a willingness explore the city both inside and outside of work. - Salary: £25,000 to £35,000, depending on experience
- Full time
- Office-first, based in Leeds
- Office hours 9am-5:30pm, Mon-Fri
Coming into this role, you'll need a contemporary knowledge of the SEO techniques and ranking factors that drive placement, including SEO trends, algorithms and best practices. And of course, you'll need to have a way with words - we're looking for someone who can write like they talk, turn content into a conversation and make complicated topics seem easy to understand.
We use a lot of different techniques, including viral triggers and response marketing, but you won't need to know them all. You do, however, need a willingness to learn.
Experience required:
At least 3+ years experience in a full-time content or copywriting role.
Leeds-List is a new-age media company with a unique approach. Our content is written with our readers in mind. We work hard to attract and retain an engaged audience, creating value at every stage of the user journey.
You'll take complete ownership of our content pillar, managing idea generation, search strategy, content production and workflow to ensure we have a pipeline of top quality content that will entertain, engage and inform our readers.
It's exciting, challenging work that's more akin to marketing than journalism. We hire and train professional copywriters to use SEO, virality and direct response tactics to inspire people to act. It's not easy, it takes creativity and intelligence, but it's a lot of fun.
On a more personal level, you'll need to have the same passion for Leeds that we do, and an innate desire to explore every nook and cranny of the city, because you'll be bringing first-hand experience to everything you write.
So what do you think? Want to join a fast-growing scale-up with ambitious plans for the future? Want to be part of something really exciting? Get in touch.
