The most coveted job in two-wheel media demands a candidate who can mix riding skill and the ability to analyse motorcycle in granular detail with confident, high-quality written copywriting and video presentation.
We’re looking to an individual who can hop on just about any motorcycle, in scenarios ranging from wet city streets in November, sun-kissed racetracks, technical trail rides high in the mountains and more.
And when it’s time for the riding fun to end, they’ll need to be able to follow tight briefs, producing accurate, engaging content to strict deadlines to deliver the kind of in-depth, quality review that separates us from the tide of AI-slop and superficial click-bait…
Our road test team also contributes to the long-term testing of key models to deliver ongoing insight after first ride reviews, as well as testing motorcycle clothing and products essential to the two-wheel experience, contributing to the broader content remit, ensuring a diverse, ever-engaging workload.
Working times aren’t always fixed and predictable: long days behind handlebars or keyboard will be what it sometimes takes to deliver on the expectations of our audience, but the payoff is joining a passionate team of experts, riding the finest motorcycles in incredible locations across the globe, with money-can’t-buy experiences a regular occurrence.
This is a senior role within our content creation team with expectations to match: the successful candidate will have proven experience in journalism or creative writing first and foremost, closely followed by demonstrable machine control, both of which will be subject to assessment in the interview. A full UK motorcycle licence is a must, and while the role is hybrid, a significant amount of testing begins at our Peterborough office, so you will need to be able to travel here when required. International travel is part of the role too, so a passport and full travel clearance will be needed.
