Junior Content Executive
We’re looking for a Junior Content Executive to join the Content Team at Jacada. With a passion for travel and digital content, you’ll join a welcoming and experienced team that craft the words and storytelling surrounding the destinations, trips and experiences featured across our website.
We’re looking for someone detail-oriented, with a demonstrated knowledge of SEO best practices as well as a keen eye for grammar and style.
The ideal candidate will have around two years’ editorial or content experience. A travel industry background isn’t essential, but you should have a solid understanding of writing and editing for the web, including SEO, image research and using a CMS. Experience in the luxury sector is a plus.
You should be comfortable managing your own workload, pacing writing tasks with long-lead deadlines as well as turning around quick copy or edits as needed. You enjoy working collaboratively, forging strong relationships within the Marketing team as well as with travel experts across the business.
About the role
You’ll be reporting to the Head of Content and working closely with the rest of the Content team, Product Managers and Marketing team.
Day to day, you’ll join a team responsible for updating and maintaining the content on our website. This might include creating new destinations, updating sample itineraries, researching images, editing hotel pages, or distilling extensive background material into succinct summaries for our travellers.
You’ll also have the opportunity to be involved in wider content projects including producing articles for our site and contributing to our print magazine.
What we’re looking for
Essential:
- Two years’ content, writing or editorial experience
- Experience writing for the web
- Comfortable using a CMS, ideally Wordpress
- Knowledge and understanding of SEO best practices
- Experience using image libraries
- Ability to write and edit accurate, clean copy
- Excellent grammar
- Comfortable working to multiple deadlines
Good to have:
- A strong writing portfolio
- Experience within the travel industry
- Knowledge of the luxury sector
- Familiarity with sustainability initiatives
What you’re like
You’ll have a passion for learning about the world and a keen interest in responsible travel.
Being able to work in a team is essential, but it’s also important to work independently, show initiative, and bring new ideas to the table.
Highly organised, you should be able to multitask and prioritise work effectively, communicating regularly with colleagues.
We are a fast-growing company, so the ideal candidate will also be able embrace change and new challenges.
What to expect
We’re a bespoke travel company specialised in creating seamless, luxury journeys around the world, primarily for US guests.
At Jacada we’ve created a positive and collaborative environment where people are trusted and encouraged to work autonomously, put their own stamp on things, and experiment with new ideas.
While we have a lovely office in London and some of us work days from there regularly, the marketing team is mostly remote. This role is open to remote applications.
Beyond the workplace, we’re on a quest to uplift the world through travel and leave a positive impact wherever we go. Joining Jacada means being part of a group of travellers who are passionate about conservation, sustainability and cultivating authentic connections among diverse people across the globe. Now part of Wilderness, we’re contributing to their conservation mission across some of the most important ecosystems in the world.
