• Proactively identify and act upon reactive, topical content opportunities by continuously monitoring the financial news agenda.
• Collaborate with colleagues from Money and Publishing so that content is disseminated on all relevant channels to support business strategy and commercial goals.
• Work collaboratively and proactively with internal and external partners to ensure that work is published on schedule – identifying any blockers and proactively seeking resolution.
• Act as a source of expertise and best practice for SEO and content for Saga Publishing and Money teams as required.
• Embed a culture of high performance and continuous improvement in response to data‑led insights and organisational and audience needs.
• Keep up‑to‑date with industry best practices, technology trends and competitor landscape.
• Budget responsibility for Newsletter and Money News content.
