Company Description

Metroland is looking for an Online editor to oversee daily operations of the Digital Content Centre, which creates content for every Metroland site, as it expands into other markets. This is a full-time permanent position.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

We strive to be a leader in building and cultivating an employee community framed around fairness, support and opportunity. We believe that what makes us different, makes a difference.

Job Description

This job is quick moving, high-energy and – if you’re wired this way -- really fun.

The ideal candidate understands that a story can take on many shapes and incorporates elements including text, photography, graphics, video, audio, social embeds and in-depth interactives. You will use those building blocks to create explainers, quick hits, lists, stories told in images, matchers and videos for multiple platforms. At times you will be called on to pull together reporting from across Metroland’s community newsrooms and other sources to craft a narrative that keeps the reader hooked to the end, and still wanting more.
