Job Opening: Content Writer for Cosa Media South Africa

City: Cape Town

Job description

Cosa Media is seeking a content writer with online and print experience. You will predominantly be writing for our flagship title, RiskSA which is a trade publication catering to the insurance industry in South Africa.

The position will include writing, editing, and proof-reading content for our website, our in-house newsletter, e-zines that we write for other companies, and for our publication.

We are looking for a journalist that is not afraid to talk to top decision makers in the business world, write and research fact-based, accurate articles. You need to be reliable, with a confident phone manner and a can-do attitude.

Experience in writing for business/trade magazines is ideal but not essential. Above all, we are looking for someone with common sense that has the ability to write grammatically correct articles.

You will also be writing for our consumer publication, City Magazine, which features articles about celebrities, beauty and fashion for those living in and around Century City.

Our team is small but with that comes the advantage of getting stuck right in and writing articles both in print and online (with your own by-line).
