Keeping abreast of changes in search and social platforms and devising responsive strategies are fundamental.
  • Multimedia enhancement: Elevate and spotlight our digital content through strategic placement, promotion, and incorporation of multimedia elements like links, graphics, picture galleries, and audio/video content.
  • Digital platform oversight: Support senior team members in managing The Irish Times digital platforms and collaborate with all editorial departments on breaking news coverage and strategic initiatives. This includes tasks ranging from crafting news alert text to selecting lead stories for the homepage.
  • Reader engagement: Aid in distributing reader products, such as compiling and dispatching digests, email newsletters, and push notifications.

  • Interpersonal skills: Excellent interpersonal and teamwork abilities are paramount to foster collaboration across different departments and with external associates to meet deadlines and objectives.

The ideal candidate will approach immediate and long-term content goals dynamically and harbor a passion for journalism.
