Job Description

At Hearst UK, there’s always more to the story. Join us as our Creative Strategy Manager to start the next chapter in your career.

We’re the UK’s leading premium publisher, and the people behind iconic media brands such as Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Good Housekeeping, Men’s Health and Country Living. We’ve created a working environment that encourages everyone to pull together. We never stop looking for brave new ideas. We’ll always try to develop and improve, we trust each other to do our best, and we have fun as we build on our heritage to make history.

As a Creative Strategist, you’ll be part of a crucial team within Studio Hearst, helping develop impactful commercial partnership ideas for clients that are then brought to life by the wider Studio team including designers, commercial editors and videographers.

About The Role

You’ll be joining a small, dynamic team to help develop partnership ideas in response to client briefs. It’s a fast-paced, creative role that involves working hand in hand with stakeholders across our business, from sales, to editorial, to production. As a Creative Strategy Manager, you’ll take on briefs from a range of different clients in different sectors, brainstorm partnership ideas with the team, then write compelling proposals. You’ll also help develop more proactive ideas, working with our Sales team and Publishing Directors to craft compelling commercial propositions.

About You

We’re looking for a strategist who loves to develop exciting creative ideas. You’ll have an inquiring mind, with a strong desire to understand cultural trends and what makes people tick. Not just a creative thinker who can solve tricky commercial problems with engaging media partnership ideas, you’ll also enjoy the challenge of getting to know different sectors – retail, food, travel, beauty, technology and more. An excellent storyteller, with the ability to articulate and sell your ideas, you'll need to be a strong collaborator who enjoys working closely with others.

What We Offer

At Hearst UK, you can choose from a huge range of perks and benefits that can help you learn well, work well and live well including:

25 days’ holiday (with the option to buy up to 5 additional holiday days) - pro rated for part-time or fixed-term employees
Discounted gym membership
Healthcare cash plan
Spend a charity day with your favourite good cause
Life assurance and pension scheme
Regular socials and more!

There’s more to your story than you imagine. And the next chapter begins right here.

Hearst UK is deeply committed to using our influential brands to reflect the world we want to live in – one that respects, protects, represents and uplifts the voices and opinions of all people. As a business, we recognise the significant benefits of creativity, collaboration and innovation that comes with diverse teams. Not only is diversifying the voices in our organization the right thing to do, but it also helps us to make powerful and exciting content that can be enjoyed by many more people. This is why we’re working to build a sense of true belonging within our business and foster a culture in which everyone feels heard.
