We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative French Language Editor based in the UK to join our hugely successful, award-winning digital publishing company and help grow our audience in French-speaking markets in Europe and internationally. We produce engaging editorial across a variety of subjects including money, travel, food and drink, and property. Your challenge will be to take this work in English and make it succeed in French.
What we’re looking for from you:
- Fluency in French and a knowledge of the differences between the different types of French spoken around the world;
- The ability to manage your and your team’s workflows to meet a busy schedule;
- The ability to write engaging, accurate headlines in French and marry them with eye-catching images across various subjects;
- Fast, accurate translating with flair from English into French and the ability to localise content for French speakers in different countries;
- A keen interest in the subject matter areas we cover;
- An excellent news instinct and understanding of current affairs and popular culture in the French-speaking world;
- Knowledge of current media legislation, especially libel and copyright law;
- A self-starting, motivated attitude;
- The ability to work in a busy and challenging environment.
The role will require you to perform the following tasks:
- Selecting content for transcreation using a combination of performance metrics (training will be provided), liaison with site editors and knowledge of what will appeal to French language audiences in order to achieve agreed pageview targets;
- Managing a syndication schedule for French markets;
- Recruiting and commissioning freelance French translators;
- Translating and editing content to ensure it is clean and free of errors and compelling to read;
- Uploading translations into CMS, changing images where appropriate and delivering to partners via feeds (training will be provided);
- Keeping up-to-date records of translated content that has been sent and its performance (training will be provided);
- Reporting back to senior management on French language performance and learnings that might be applicable to the rest of the business;
- Sending emails and other communication/liaison with partner editors as required;
- Any other duties that might reasonably be required.
The role will predominately be home-based although will very occasionally require travel to London.
