Exciting opportunity for experienced freelance sub-editors to work with Scribol.com, one of the UK’s fastest growing publishers.

The roles will involve working from home, in close contact with the Editor-in-Chief and Content Manager.
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:
  • Top-level sub-editing skills, including thorough fact checking and copy-editing

THE PEOPLE WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

At Scribol, we value people who have great ideas and relish a challenge. We value loyalty and hard work, but we also value a sense of humour and people who don’t take themselves too seriously.
  • You’re an experienced sub-editor who’s passionate about producing engaging content for different audiences on a variety of fast-growing platforms.
  • You’re highly self-motivated, solutions-driven and a stickler for quality. You have a ‘can-do’ attitude.
  • You’re productive and work fast, but this is coupled with diligence, good editorial sense and commercial nous.
  • You have a high degree of personal organisation and are able to plan ahead and manage your time to meet deadlines. You thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • You’re interested in the latest developments in online publishing.
  • You’re a fast learner and are open to constructive criticism.
  • You have a sense of humour and work well within a team.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION:

Scribol was founded in November 2010 and is a content marketing tool for Tier 1 publishers. The concept was simple: to connect our users to great content and in the process help our publishers – including some of the largest websites on the internet – skyrocket their traffic.

But that’s just the beginning. Times are changing, and we’re creating incredible content of our own – content that will surprise and inspire audiences while informing them about what’s going on in the world. Want to be a part of it?

We’re a small and friendly team who share a common goal: to build one of the greatest products on the internet and have fun along the way.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, please email subeditors@scribol.com with your CV and a covering letter explaining your suitability for the role.
