We are looking for an Engagement Producer to deliver engaging content on social media platforms with the aim of driving organic revenue across all titles.

About us
Hello, we’re Reach. Every day, our trusted news, stories and content connect with millions of people where they live - whether that’s on their social feed or at their neighbourhood newsstand; through their local community or their take on the hot topic of the day.
We're home to more than 120 trusted brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like the Manchester Evening News, MyLondon, BelfastLive and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.
It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us the UK and Ireland's largest commercial news publisher. We reach 70% of the UK's online population and speak to over 100 million social followers around the world. And we’re just getting started…
Your story, with Reach
As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.
We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.
We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
What will the role involve?
You will be producing and utilising content from other teams, including the Brand Team and the content hub, to ensure sufficient content to achieve engagement and monetisation targets across the week.
As well as breaking news and sharing stories aimed at driving engagement, you will be identifying opportunities for status posts, galleries and video content and creating content natively on platforms.
Who are we looking for?
Experience of managing Facebook pages with knowledge of community and monetisation guidelines
An NCTJ or equivalent qualification and deep knowledge of media law
Strong understanding of social media
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a team

25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
Big moment day - an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
Bonus scheme - you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
Supportive and progressive people policies - we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait to join us to know what to expect from us, which is why we share this overview of the policies we have in place to support families and carers. If there's something you want to understand more about, just ask - it won’t make a difference to your application.
A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
