The Tab is hiring a Content Writer, who will write stories for impressive brands and write stories for The Tab’s national site.

As Content Writer, you will be responsible for writing all branded content stories for the likes of NatWest, Bumble, ASOS and many more. When you’re not working with our clients, you’ll be writing news, features, quizzes, and takes for The Tab’s rapidly growing national site.

This role would suit someone who is passionate about writing about youth culture, and has a strong track record of doing so. You will also be enthusiastic about gaining and using skills in the marketing world, including building excellent client relationships, creative marking, Facebook marketing, and performance analysis.

The Tab is an influential youth media brand for 18-25s, read by over 5 million people every month. You will work in a fast-paced and creative environment where our talented young staff make the decisions. We care deeply about young people and how they are represented – whether that’s the latest way the government is screwing us, ranking every single Little Mix song, or what everyone’s binging on Netflix.

The Content Writer will split their time between writing and managing campaigns for brands (around 4 a month), and writing stories across our sections: including news and features, and for our pop-culture section Trash.

The Tab’s mission is to deliver branded content that is just as impressive as our editorial. As part of that mission, you will write super-engaging stories for brands that are also loved by our readers. The Tab has delivered campaigns for ASOS, Adobe, NatWest, NHS, Sky and Red Bull, Bumble, YouTube, and VK to name a few.

Some examples of our campaigns:

NHS: Quiz: Design an outfit for your first seminar back, and we’ll accurately guess your uni

NATWEST: Take this quiz to find out if your loan will actually last this Freshers’

RBS: The Tab’s guide to Edinburgh

ASOS: We spoke to the ASOS fashion team about what everyone is wearing on campus this winter
