Future Publishing are looking for a content manager to lead the delivery of shopping‑led branded content across our brands. You'll be either a copywriter with project management experience or a project manager with some copywriting / content creation and strong writing skills. Either way, you'll be a T‑shape.

Qualifications

If you're organised, self‑directing, and you have the type of mindset that's quick to spot patterns and trends, a strong interest in creating and delivering shoppable, commerce‑led editorial content, and a curiosity about multiple content verticals (e.g. homes, tech, women's lifestyle) then you could be perfect for this role.

• Project management or content management experience in a fast‑paced environment, ideally within publishing.
• Some experience or familiarity with using a content management system (CMS) to publish content and analyse content performance.
• Ability to write short‑form shopping content with clarity and speed.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to spot trends, patterns, and emerging commercial opportunities.
• Interest in developing new affiliate content formats, packages, or franchises.
• Curiosity about multiple content verticals and ability to adapt tone/style accordingly.
