  • Team leads and their performance, ensuring they deliver at pace and to standard.

What makes you a potential Legend?
  • We seek resourceful and kind self-starters who enjoy autonomy, a dynamic environment, and high accountability. You'll thrive here if you're always eager to learn, value constructive feedback, and are excited by big goals.
  • In terms of technical skills for the Managing Editor role, you ideally bring:
  • A track record of writing and editing high-quality content, boosting user engagement and organic traffic.
  • The ability to do the above whilst keeping SEO best practices.
  • A strong managerial toolkit, understanding how to best lead your team members to unlock the most of their potential.
Why might we not be right for you, though?
  • We are not a place where you join, and it's an easy ride. We have clear KPIs and goals as we strive towards our multi-year strategic vision. This might be stressful at times, but will also lead you to supercharge how fast you unlock your own potential.
  • We work in a fast-paced industry, and we believe learning quickly is more effective than analyzing forever before acting. That does lead to an environment where you will experience change more frequently than in a typical company.
  • We don't have a micro-management environment where someone is always breathing down your neck. In other words: You need to be self-driven and proactive to make the most of your environment and achieve the growth you set out to achieve.
You could settle for ordinary - or you could join us
  • For this role as Managing Editor, you will have multiple chances to progress further with us over time.
  • We can't make any iron-clad promises as to timelines, as more senior roles are unlocked by us reaching our organizational targets. But an example could include growing into a Head of Content role while supercharging your content and leadership skillset further.
  • Once you've passed your probation, we will make an IDP together, helping you reach your long-term career ambitions.
Otherwise:We thrive from helping our team members grow their skills and careers. It's one of our biggest motivations as a company.We consistently score way above average in our eNPS surveys. Being #1 is only worth it if we're having fun along the journey.We offer flexible working hours. Our core hours are from 10 am to 3 pm your local time, as we need to have times when we can meet.
