Who we are

We create trusted, expert content that helps millions of people discover more about the things they love, need and care about. From technology, gaming and entertainment to fashion, lifestyle, sport, finance and beyond, our specialist brands connect people with their passions every day. Across websites, magazines, newsletters, social channels and events, we bring expert content to audiences around the world.

From road bikes and wheelsets to saddles, groupsets and power meters you’ll become one of the world's foremost experts on the road and gravel bike sector. You’ll be presenting in front of the camera for both long-form and social videos, and keeping your finger on the pulse of the cycling industry and latest releases - noticing a new crankset on Netcompany Ineos' latest bike or a new curious patent in Shimano's name.

• Knowledge and experience of content management systems
• Excellent communication skills between both PR and internal contacts

• Sub-editing skills
• An understanding of SEO/GEO best practices and the ability to quickly develop these skills

Minimum Requirements

• A passion for riding, and writing and talking about bikes.
• Ability to write high-quality engaging review-based content to strict deadlines
• Experience presenting both short and long form video
• A good understanding of the tech used in road and gravel bikes, and cycling clothing and accessories

What we offer

• Uncapped leave
• Enhanced parental leave
• Discounted rates with Dental care and Private Medical care
• When we hit our targets, enjoy a share of our profits with a bonus
• Refer a friend scheme - with payment following the successful hire
• Well-being support with access to our Colleague Assistant Programmes
• Opportunity to purchase shares in Future, with our Share Incentive Plan
• Salary sacrifice
• Pension scheme up to 5% match
• Free drinks and snacks in our offices
