About the Team:

The SCMP is looking for an experienced Production Editor to join the Political Economy team. The job holder can be based in Hong Kong or mainland China.

Purpose of the Position:

You will rewrite stories to improve narrative structure and flow, with sensitivity to the author's voice; adding in relevant context and background.

In this role, you will:

  • Editing, fact-checking, rewriting and improving copy with care and sensitivity and, of course, ensuring copy is free from errors
  • Crafting top-quality search engine optimised (SEO) headlines, sub-heads, and picture and graphics captions
  • Ensuring that all stories have accurate and eye-catching visual elements, as content is distributed and consumed on different devices and platforms (mobile, social media, news aggregators)
  • Keen ability to get to the heart of a story quickly and clearly, highlighting the stakes for a global audience

Skills and Experience that will lead to success:

  • Minimum 4 years of experience in a real-time online news operation, wire service or a newspaper is essential. Newcomers to the industry will not be considered
  • Capable of turning around raw copy quickly, and displaying the patience to work constructively with contributors whose first language may not be English
  • Awareness of media law and legal dangers, and of social media as a news-dissemination tool. Audience-focused with an excellent understanding of international markets
  • Strong familiarity with the mainland China/Asia context of news, economic, political, diplomatic and business/finance, with a particular focus on mainland China’s economy
  • Can-do attitude with excellent English subbing skills and zero tolerance for grammatical errors, spelling and improper story structure
  • Solid news judgement and the ability to communicate clearly and concisely. Chinese-language skills are an advantage, but not essential.
