We’re looking for an experienced Page Editor to work closely with our editorial leads and Chief Sub-Editor to maintain the high standards of The Sunday Mirror on a one day per week (Saturdays only) basis. The role combines sub-editing high-profile Mirror page leads as well as shared content across both the Mirror and Express brands. You will also revise and approve completed Mirror pages when required.

It’s a fast-moving role perfect for a versatile sub-editor with national newspaper experience. This isn’t just about catching typos; it’s about maintaining the unique voice of a brand that has been part of the media landscape for more than a century.

This is a hybrid role linked to our Canary Wharf hub, but a full-time work-from-home contract could be considered in some circumstances.

Who are we looking for?

You are a seasoned sub-editor with experience working in a similar national newsroom environment, who combines sharp editorial judgment with creative flair. You have the skill and judgment to decide instantly whether copy can be left unchanged or requires a complete, high-speed overhaul to meet the exacting standards of a national newspaper.

You have an uncompromising eye for detail, an understanding of media law and a track record of working to strict, demanding deadlines. You are adaptable, comfortable working on both the Mirror and Express as required while understanding…
