gasworld is looking for an Editor to join its team and report on the fast-paced US industrial gases industry.
Based in Truro, Cornwall (UK), you will hit the ground running and not only be responsible for delivering content across gasworld’s digital platforms (www.gasworld.com) but also take chief responsibility for its flagship gasworld US Edition (magazine).
If you’re an experienced senior journalist or an established editor with a track record in covering B2B or science, this could be an outstanding opportunity for you to progress your career.
More than that, this is an opportunity to be at the forefront of the clean energy transition and industrial transformation, with the industrial gases business critical to all facets of industry and decarbonisation.
The successful candidate will be an organised, creative and personable individual, capable of sourcing and writing engaging, accurate journalism – and curating that content into a compelling print edition each month.
We're keen to fill this role as soon as possible, so an immediate or early start would be advantageous, but finding the right person is our priority.
Main responsibilities
Whether online or in print, we aspire to be the must-read service for the dynamic industrial gases and equipment business and keep a growing audience of industry professionals and end-users at the forefront of market developments.
Based primarily in our Truro, Cornwall (UK) office and reporting to the Global Content Director, you will use your skills, experience and editorial judgement to produce and lead on quality journalism for the US gases market and the planning, production and delivery of the monthly US Edition in print.
In addition to this core focus, you will also be a brand champion, a face of gasworld in the North American market, and have the confidence to represent that brand on camera or on tour at our events.
Travel is a necessity in any normal year for this role, and you will be required to attend and report from key trade events in the US.
