Editorial Assistant

Design Week is looking for a versatile, sharp-eyed Editorial Assistant to join us in Liverpool! We will pay £26k-£29k a year for the right applicant.

If you’re the person in your friend group who catches every typo, loves a well-designed newsletter, and has a passion for the design world, we want to meet you.

Working directly with our Executive Editor, you’ll be the engine room of our digital presence. This isn't just about writing; it’s about curation, digital assembly, and helping us tell the story of the design industry.

• Assembling and deploying our daily/weekly newsletters.
• Uploading and formatting beautiful content in our CMS.
• Writing news pieces and occasional features.
• Keeping our editorial calendar and inbox running like clockwork.

We’re looking for a "safe pair of hands" who wants to learn the ropes of digital publishing from the inside out. We value a keen eye for design and a proactive attitude over years of experience.

Take ownership of our daily/weekly newsletters, ensuring all links, images, and copy are perfect before they hit thousands of inboxes.

Upload articles to our CMS, source high-quality imagery, and ensure all digital content follows SEO best practices.

Assist with news desk duties, write short-form features, and contribute to the Design Week voice on social media.

Manage the editorial calendar, monitor the general inbox, and act as a point of contact for freelancers and PR agencies.

Represent Design Week at industry events (where applicable).
