Navigator Global is here to help SMEs take on the world of international trade and win. SMEs that operate across borders are often more resilient, more profitable, and grow faster than those that stick to domestic markets. However, for many businesses, the time, cost, and risk of going global can stand in the way of success. Owned by Santander and supported by the global transformation capabilities of dentsu, Navigator Global is launching a world-first platform and ecosystem delivering intelligent insight, coaching and connections to help SMEs tackle the complexity, risk and cost of doing business across borders.

As Editorial Assistant/Sub-Editor, you’ll be part of a collaborative Content & Editorial Team that produces trusted, high-quality content on international trade, business and cross-border growth. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring everything we publish is clear, accurate and engaging for SMEs navigating complex global markets.

These are the essential requirements you need to be successful in this role:

• Proven experience in sub-editing, copy-editing or journalism, with excellent writing skills and exceptional attention to detail, grammar and factual accuracy.

• Up-to-date knowledge of relevant publishing codes of conduct and legal frameworks across both traditional and new media, and the confidence to flag potential issues.

• Solid ability to edit for clarity, consistency and house style, with an understanding of how to adapt content for different platforms and audiences.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills and editorial judgement, with the ability to liaise with internal and external stakeholders to resolve queries and maintain deadlines.

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Additional languages are highly beneficial

• An interest in or understanding of global trade, to add context and insight when editing and support commissioning if needed

• Familiarity with the use of CMS and workflow tools to publish and update content efficiently

• Experience in multimedia digital content production
