Sleeper Media – an industry-leading portfolio of magazines and events for the hospitality sector – is looking for an editorial assistant to support the day-to-day running of Sleeper. 

Published bi-monthly, Sleeper is a B2B print magazine and website focusing on architecture and interior design, taking in all aspects of hotel development worldwide, from the initial sketch and planning of amenities to décor, fit-out and the ensuing guest experience.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative, driven individual to embark on a career in journalism, and requires a real self-starter who is hardworking, motivated and organised.

The role spans print and digital, with key responsibilities including: writing and editing industry news stories in line with Sleeper Media’s style and tone of voice; newsletter curation; selection and processing of photography; uploading to website via CMS; magazine page layouts in InDesign; and sharing engaging content across various social media platforms.

Close collaboration with the advertising team to support paid partnerships is also an important part of the role, as is the ability to network and build relationships with PRs and industry players.

There are opportunities to travel both within the UK and overseas, primarily to represent the company at conferences and trade fairs.

The position would suit a recent graduate educated to degree level or above in journalism, media studies, English or similar, an NCTJ graduate or a staff writer with 1-2 years’ experience looking for a new challenge. 

Accuracy, attention to detail and high standard of written English are essential, while a proven interest in hospitality and design will also stand applicants in good stead.

The successful candidate must be able to work flexibly, both independently and as part of a team, with a minimum of three days per week from our offices in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
