Job description

Charmont Media is looking for junior journalist to join our Johannesburg offices. We are a small, but dynamic, media house located in Northcliff, Johannesburg, and we are growing! As such, we require the services of new editorial staff members.

The company has two titles: one in the transport industry; the other focuses on health, safety, environmental issues and quality. We are looking for an excellent writer, who will also function as junior journalist and photojournalist.

Two attributes are essential: your English must be utterly superb and you need to understand that deadlines are sacred. We are looking for a creative, ambitious, organised and reliable individual, who is passionate about what they do and will inject their own energy and style to improve and grow publication content and communities.

The position encompasses the following main responsibilities:

1. Generating and writing content, including (but not limited to) a broad variety of editorial and listing content;
2. Management of a large national network of existing editorial and photographic contributors, and sourcing and management of new contributors;
3. Promotion of content through various in-house publications, partner channels, social media and all other relevant digital media;
4. Conceptualising and overseeing of content strategies for brands or campaigns;

The candidate should come from an editorial / journalism background and should have the necessary computer literacy. Experience in content management would be advantageous. Interested, and suitably-qualified, candidates should submit their CVs, together with a brief motivational cover, and preferably some writing samples, to claire@charmont.co.za
