As the most discerning, up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel, Condé Nast Traveler is the global citizen’s bible and muse, offering both inspiration and vital intel. We understand that time is the greatest luxury, which is why Condé Nast Traveler mines its network of experts and influencers so that you never waste a meal, a drink, or a hotel stay wherever you are in the world.

Location: London, GB

Condé Nast is a global media company, home to iconic brands including Vogue, GQ, Glamour, CN Traveller, Vanity Fair, Wired, The World of Interiors, House & Garden and Tatler, among many others.

We are headquartered in New York and London and operate in 32 markets worldwide, with a footprint of more than 1 billion consumers across print, digital, video and social platforms.

Condé Nast thrives on collaboration, and our teams come together in the office four days a week (Monday - Thursday).

We value diversity of background, views and cultures. We celebrate people for their personal qualities, skills and contributions, recognising the power our brands have to influence and shape culture.

Condé Nast Traveller is seeking a creative and culturally attuned acting digital features editor to shape ambitious, agenda-setting editorial across our digital platforms.

Working closely with the digital director, digital editor and wider editorial team, the digital features editor will commission, edit and write original features that capture the online zeitgeist while remaining true to Condé Nast Traveller's authority and distinctive voice. From emerging travel behaviours and global cultural shifts to the world's most exciting new hotels, restaurants and destinations, you'll identify the stories people will be talking about next – and tell them in a way only Condé Nast Traveller can.

This is a role for an ideas-led editor with exceptional editorial judgement, a strong network of writers and industry contacts, and a proven ability to create content that resonates across search, social, newsletters and Google Discover.

• Edit and sub‑edit copy to the highest editorial standards while maintaining Condé Nast Traveller's distinctive voice and tone
• Work closely with the Social Media Manager and Video Editor to develop cross‑platform storytelling opportunities
• Support ecommerce and affiliate content opportunities where editorially appropriate
• Work collaboratively with global Condé Nast Traveller editorial teams to develop international packages, share best practice and contribute to global editorial initiatives
• Act as an ambassador for Condé Nast Traveller, representing the brand while cultivating relationships across the travel and hospitality industries

• Significant experience in a digital editorial role, ideally within travel, lifestyle or culture
• A demonstrable track record of commissioning and editing high‑performing digital journalism with a strong editorial point of view, and a strong network of freelance writers and contributors
• An instinct for identifying cultural conversations, emerging travel behaviours and meaningful trends before they reach the mainstream.
• A deep understanding of Condé Nast Traveller's brand, audience and editorial vision
• Experience creating content that performs across multiple channels
• Strong understanding of digital analytics and the ability to translate performance insights into editorial strategy
• Experience using content management systems and digital publishing tools
• Experience working with commercial, affiliate and branded content while maintaining editorial integrity
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• A genuine passion for travel and a broad curiosity about the people, places, food, design and cultural movements shaping the way the world travels today.

What benefits do we offer?

• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and extra days of annual leave if you move house or want to volunteer.
• You’ll have access to a competitive pension scheme, Bupa Private Healthcare, Season ticket loans and eye tests.
