Hybrid – UAL High Holborn/Home
We are seeking an Editorial and Content Lead to take charge of AKOSI’s editorial work and shape the Institute’s communications content across digital channels.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can turn complex ideas and rich project activity into stories that resonate with diverse audiences, strengthening the Institute’s profile within the UAL brand.
You will lead our editorial planning, content production, and priority projects. Working closely with the Institute Director, UAL Communications department academics, partners, and external creatives, you’ll shape stories in all forms, from idea to publication and set the publishing pace that will help us share our work more widely and effectively.
About you
You're an experienced editorial professional who knows how to turn complex research and programme activity into content that's clear, accessible, and genuinely engaging. You'll have a track record of developing and delivering content plans across multiple channels—social, newsletters, and reports—and an eye for spotting the stories that will resonate with different audiences.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will also have strong editorial judgement, excellent writing skills, and a collaborative approach to working with academics, partners, and internal teams.
- Strong project management skills are essential along with the ability to manage multiple priorities, resources, and timelines effectively.
- You’ll also have strong stakeholder engagement skills, coordinating external designers, writers, or filmmakers and overseeing the production of outputs from idea to publication.
