About The Role
Woman’s Day is looking for an experienced and dedicated copy editor to join its dynamic editorial team.
As one of two copy editors in a creative and fast-paced environment, you’ll be responsible for copy editing and fact checking everything from celebrity updates and exclusive interviews with Aussie talent, to breaking news stories and lifestyle and food content. Working on Australia’s highest selling weekly magazine will mean one thing – plenty of variety and no two days the same!
We’re looking for someone who has exceptional attention to detail, who can help write headlines, captions and coverlines, and maintain the tone of the brand on all platforms – print and digital. You’ll work closely with the Editor and Senior Copy Editor, ensuring quality always comes first, assisting writers with editing, legal changes and all other aspects of the pre-publication process.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves teamwork, who thrives on tight deadlines and who can manage a fast-paced and ever-changing work week. While the role will centre around the print product, we’re looking for someone with digital publishing skills who can also contribute to editing and publishing stories across the brand’s website and associated social channels.
