CE Media is seeking a skilled and ambitious feature writer to work across its two fast-growing B2B titles, Elite Business and Elite Franchise. Our preferred candidate will be NCTJ-qualified and will have at least two years’ feature writing experience behind them, preferably for B2B titles. They will also be well-versed in social media and have solid experience of using InDesign, Photoshop and content management systems (CMS).
Elite Business is dedicated to breaking new ground and advocating some of the hottest new names in UK plc. Every issue covers up-to-the-minute content, offering disruptive solutions and presenting a unique angle on the things enterprises need to know. It also gathers the best and brightest voices in the entrepreneur community to share their experience. Whether it’s former Skype execs Eric Partaker and Dan Houghton swapping tech for tacos with Chilango or Michael Acton Smith making magic with Moshi Monsters, we profile the individuals reinventing enterprise.
Meanwhile, Elite Franchise is the definitive publication for Britain’s fast-growing franchising sector. Packed full of news and features for franchisors and franchisees alike, it also features interviews with the likes of Drain Doctor’s Jan Mitman and Chuck Runyon of Anytime Fitness. With the magazine having just gone monthly following a strong period of growth, it’s an incredibly exciting time for a new writer to come on board.
We’re looking for somebody who is brimming with ideas and has a keen interest in the world of business, particularly the startup and franchising spaces. You should be ready to hit the ground running and pick up the tone and house style of the magazines in a matter of weeks. As well as writing features for both print titles, you’ll also be tasked with writing new stories for each website on a daily basis and covering industry events.
How to apply
To apply for this role, please send us a cover letter, up-to-date CV and five examples of published work to adam.pescod@cemedia.co.uk
We’d also love to hear your ideas so please provide us with synopses for three features that you’d like to write for either Elite Business and Elite Franchise. Each synopsis should clearly outline why the topic is both timely and relevant for the respective title. Please take the time to have a thorough browse of each website to ensure we haven’t covered any of your suggested topics before.
