We are looking for an experienced, detail-obsessed Sub-Editor to work for a Cambridge-based creative agency and publishing organisation, working across editorial, brand and digital content to join this successful, friendly team. This role offers hybrid working with 3 days a week in the Cambridge office.
The Role
You’ll be the final pair of eyes that make content sing. Working across a range of client projects, you’ll edit copy for accuracy, clarity, grammar and house style, catching errors, smoothing inconsistencies and sharpening headlines and standfirsts to make every piece of content do its job brilliantly.
What you’ll be doing
- Subbing editorial, marketing and long-form content to a consistently high standard.
- Ensuring copy adheres to house style guides across multiple projects.
- Writing and refining commercial written content produced by the company, either internal or for one of their many clients.
- Working closely with editors, writers and designers to deliver polished content on time.
- Proofreading designed pages and flagging layout issues before publication.
- Upholding accuracy across facts, figures, spelling and grammar.
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience as a Sub-Editor in a publishing, agency, or media environment.
- A sharp eye for detail – you spot the typo everyone else missed.
- Confident command of grammar and punctuation, with an instinct for clear, readable copy.
- Experience working with house style guides (and the judgement to know when a rule should bend).
- Ability to juggle multiple projects to deadline.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.
- You should be experienced using CMS platforms and InDesign, Figma etc. and familiarity with digital/SEO content.
You will have the opportunity to work with a creative, collaborative team, carrying out varied, interesting work across a range of agency projects. The role offers a competitive salary and hybrid working arrangements. If words matter to you, and getting them exactly right matters even more, we’d love to hear from you.
