UBM is seeking a talented journalist to join the multi-award winning team at C+D, its flagship brand serving the UK’s multi-billion-pound pharmacy sector.

We’re looking for a creative, enthusiastic and determined individual committed to furthering their career in business journalism as a News Editor.

Managing a team of three Reporters and tasked with ensuring that C+D is first with breaking news as well as setting the news agenda, you will be responsible for C+D’s news strategy and delivery across the brand’s portfolio of platforms – including print, digital and face-to-face.

You will have:

• a strong news sense
• experience as a news editor or senior reporter for a business media brand
• experience of meeting daily deadlines and managing reporters or freelancers
• a track record in delivering exclusives, in-depth investigations and hard-hitting campaigns
• attention to detail
• up-to-date knowledge of media law

You will have the opportunity to develop your skills across a range of platforms, taking responsibility for managing and developing roundtable events and working as part of a dynamic team to deliver C+D’s awards and conference programmes.

You will be:

• flexible
• calm under pressure
• brimming with ideas for interactive and data-driven content
• excited about using new and social media to develop audience engagement
• capable of quickly getting to grips with complex topics

The subject matter you will cover is wide-ranging and varied: from global companies such as Alliance Boots and GlaxoSmithKline to the business and professional challenges facing the 20,000 community pharmacists working in the UK; from government policy and contract negotiations to working conditions and how the industry is cutting its carbon footprint.

A key part of the role will be building and maintaining strong industry links; you will be comfortable discussing everything from primary care commissioning to business leases with the sector’s key players, from chief executives to pharmacy branch managers. You will be expected to attend events in the UK and abroad.

Charged with delivering faultless content to tight deadlines on the stories that matter to C+D readers, you will need to show you have what it takes to get the best out of a talented team in a busy environment.
