The Biochemical Society is one of the largest learned societies in the UK biosciences, dedicated to advancing the molecular biosciences that underpin and explain the essential processes of life.

We represent and support the interests of all those working in the sector through our membership, conferences, education and policy initiatives, publications and grants.

The Biochemical Society and its wholly owned publishing subsidiary Portland Press Ltd (PPL) are seeking a Digital Content Editor to shape and drive forward our web-based content and digital presence, ensuring that we reflect the voice of the community and the goals of our publishing business in our look and feel online. Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, the Digital Content Editor will proactively curate content, signpost activities and present information in an engaging way across our existing and future digital channels, including the Society website, the Portland Press publishing platform, the Biochemist Blog site and our Social Media accounts. A key objective of this role will be to generate synergies between the various Portland Press and Society offerings, and raise the profile of our brands and values online. Revenue generation via monetization of published content-collections and/or themed issues, as well as exploring possible revenue generation potential from commercial advertising against published content and/or the Society website are also central to the role.

The ideal candidate will be creative, pro-active and able to engage audiences through a variety of digital messaging. We are looking for someone with strong technical and writing skills, and a proven track record of creating outstanding digital content, translating complex information into clear and engaging content and managing and delivering digital campaigns and projects. A scientific background and/or experience working in a similar capacity within the scholarly publishing or Learned Society sectors is required for this role.
