Travel Editor
Australia’s leading youth publishing and communications company is looking for a full time Travel Editor to join our team.
Sound Alliance owns and operates FasterLouder, inthemix, Same Same, Mess+Noise and Mumbrella’s 2014 Media Brand of The Year, Junkee, as well as representing titles Pitchfork, NME and The Hype Machine in Australia. Together, these titles have a combined monthly unique audience of more than 1.7 million Australians.
We’re searching for an exceptional Editor with travel writing experience who can help us create and shape the tone of voice of travel writing at Sound Alliance. The ideal candidate will be a super fast writer with the ability to nail the right tone of each piece, delivering consistently high quality copy each time, every time. As well as writing daily travel news and features, you will also be in charge of a team of enthusiastic writers in commissioning great travel features and editing. You’ll be well versed in social media and how to get your content seen as widely as possible, so a proven track record of amplifying content digitally will be looked upon very favourably. As well as the daily content you’ll be responsible for regular in-depth longform travel features to explore entire destinations or themes through words, photos and video.
You’ll be able to write travel content that stands out from the crowd, with a keen nose for what makes great local and international news, plus how to find the angle that’s going to most interest Sound Alliance’s 18 to 35 year-old audience who love to travel.
The ideal candidate will have several years of real-world experience writing and editing travel content. An obsessive love for correct grammar and aversion to dangling modifiers is required. We’re looking for someone who has a unique tone of voice, can write a snappy headline and who knows the difference between clickable and clickbait. We want someone who is passionate about writing, who loves what we do and wants to be a part of Sound Alliance’s exciting new opportunity as we continue to grow the Editorial team.
