Is digital story-telling your passion? Do you know your Crowdtangle from your Chartbeat?

Then you could be the Digital Content and Audience Editor we’re looking for to lead our newsroom at the Adver.

You will need to be able to direct our team of excellent reporters and be happy to help coach our trainees.

You will understand what makes a compelling and engaging story and how to build a great newslist for online and print, write a great headline for all platforms and know what it takes to turn a press release into something readers actually want to share.

Swindon is a brilliant news patch and we’re home to the UK Space Agency, Honda, BMW, WHSmith, Nationwide and more and a hotbed of start-ups. It’s 20 minutes to the beautiful Cotswolds and an hour to London, so it’s a great location to live and work.

This is an ideal chance for a senior/chief reporter who wants to take the next step, or a content editor/content manager who wants to put their news skills to greater use.

You will

· Drive the stories

· Be reactive, creative, and full of ideas

· Be a methodical, organised multi-tasker
