Jet Traveller is produced by Ink, the world's leading travel media company. For more than 30 years, Ink has partnered with major airlines and travel brands, including easy

Jet, Virgin Atlantic and Singapore Airlines, to create award-winning content across print, digital, video and social, reaching over a billion travellers a year. Ink is part of the Stagwell network, the challenger group built to transform marketing, and combines travel storytelling with commercial creativity to deliver standout content, premium audience experiences and high-performing advertising solutions.

This is a fast-paced, hands‑on role for someone who thrives on deadlines, loves storytelling and isn't afraid to pitch fun and creative ideas that showcase Europe’s best destinations. The Deputy Editor will work closely with the Editor and Art Director to create engaging features, secure interviews, commission outstanding travel writers and ensure every issue is delivered to the highest editorial standards.

Experience in autonomously editing a print magazine and digital content is required, organising shoots and interviews is preferred, combined with knowledge of how to engage reader with travel stories. The key here is to put together a strong story list that sells both the magazine’s award‑winning IFE content and its global destinations.

You'll bring proven experience in an Editor role, having worked autonomously on a monthly print magazine, and you're full of ideas. You're constantly spotting opportunities for new stories, angles and features, with your ear to the ground on the trends and global affairs shaping travel. You're exceptionally organised and efficient, able to juggle multiple projects at once, take initiative and find solutions rather than waiting for direction.

You'll have experience developing content for digital platforms, including social media, alongside a track record in account management and building strong relationships with stakeholders and partners. You're also comfortable managing both a budget and a team. Degree educated, you're proficient in Adobe InDesign and understand the realities of print production, and you thrive under pressure, consistently delivering to tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
