People Management’s award-winning quarterly magazine has a circulation of nearly 140,000, and a daily email newsletter that reaches 120,000 subscribers, while our digital content is increasingly multi-channel – for example, we recently launched a tool that deploys immersive infographics and storytelling techniques for our long form features. We’re an HR brand with a reputation for good writing and hard facts, as well as visual flair and the ability to break stories – with a bit of wry humour thrown in.

All of which means this is a dynamic and hard-working environment in which to build your career as part of a team of experienced journalists. You’ll be writing across all our channels, contributing ideas, and getting involved in the news cycle, other digital content and print magazine.
