Managing Editor
We are currently seeking a highly experienced full-time Managing Editor to work across all areas of the business: a worldwide account portfolio.
This is a senior position within a global editorial company that specialises in the production of first-class programme information in terms of accuracy and editorial quality. The job holder will have extensive experience operating in an editorial, TV-related environment and have a proven track record in setting and maintaining high editorial standards as well as managing staff, launching new accounts and delivering to agreed deadlines / budgets and in creating new business opportunities within our product portfolio.
The job-holder will be a self-starter, with the ability to work alone with a high degree of self-motivation as well as being an effective team leader / manager and team player. Core to the job is a passion for digital television and editorial excellence as well as an extensive knowledge of the television information market in the UK and internationally, coupled with a proven track record in establishing and maintaining excellent client relationships.
A detailed knowledge of the TV market, including the TV platforms – linear and VOD – and latest technological developments and the workings of the TV listings industry at large in the UK and beyond, is essential.
We are looking for someone who’s hungry for a new challenge, and who has a minimum of five years’ experience in a similar role. We want someone who’s cut their teeth in the world of publishing and journalism, someone who can spot a typo from several miles away and someone for whom accuracy, efficiency and time management are mantras.
You’ll be fully aware of databases and will also be technically savvy, as well as being aware of the essential nature of production plans and deadlines – not just for the press but for clients and TV platforms too – and you’ll be prepared to pull out all the stops to make sure these are always met. Global Listings prides itself on being a technologically advanced giant within its field, in never having missed a single deadline and on exceeding its clients’ expectations.
You will need to be a highly competent manager and people person as you’ll need to manage and motivate an editorial team to deliver the very best at all times.

You will need to have an outlook that there’s always room for improvement and be looking for ways to make our internal processes more efficient: maximising productivity and minimising waste.
Above all, you’ll ensure that we continue to be the No.1 in everything we do – and that includes having a visionary approach to the company’s growth and future potential.
You will be able to work at executive level: alongside the Managing Director, Finance Director and CEO.
Specifically, you will have commercial acumen and be able to compile strategic business proposals by following client briefs to the letter and / or responding to tender requests and RFPs or RFIs.
First-rate communication skills, a highly efficient and organised approach and the ability to focus on detail, while maintaining an eye on the bigger picture and progressing the company vision, are all core competencies for this job.
