Is cycling your career already, and if not, do you want it to be? We've hiring for two pivotal roles within the Cycling Weekly team. And, if your world revolves around bikes, we want to hear from you.
Cycling Weekly is the most-read cycling magazine in the UK, and cyclingweekly.com is one of the world's biggest cycling websites. Both of these roles offer the opportunity to shape, grow, and transform our brand, leading a team of writers or video editors in creating content that informs and inspires our audience. If you're an ideas person, take multi-tasking in your stride, and want to work with talented content creators to help get the best out of their knowledge and skills, one of these roles could be for you.
This is a UK-based full-time role. Our HQ is in Bath, Somerset and our specialist testing facility is in Reading, Berkshire - but there is opportunity for remote working. To apply for this role, please submit your CV and a covering letter explaining why this is your dream job!
