Web Content Executive

Web Content Executive

As our Web Content Executive, you will look after the content that powers our website, from destination pages and trip ideas to the product data behind every itinerary we sell.

You will work day to day in our CMS and in our in-house product management system, keeping the two in step so that what travellers see online is accurate, consistent and a pleasure to read.

It is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both the craft of good web content, has a very good eye for details and is agile across different systems. SEO knowledge is beneficial but not essential, as long as you’re curious.

You will work across both our product and marketing departments, acting as a bridge between the two, work closely with our travel specialists here in Brighton, and liaise regularly with our international team at Riksja in the Netherlands and Erlebe in Germany.

What you’ll do

In the CMS

• Write, publish, update and maintain destination pages, trip ideas, landing pages and inspiration content.
• Keep page structure, navigation, internal links and metadata tidy and consistent across the site.
• Work with our SEO and marketing colleagues to put content plans live and track how pages perform.
• Check images, accessibility basics and on-page quality before anything goes out.

In our in-house product management system

• Enter and maintain our travel products, including itineraries, accommodation, activities and pricing information.
• Make sure product data flows correctly through to the website and stays in line with what our specialists are selling.
• Spot gaps, errors and outdated content, and fix them or flag them to the right person.
• Help shape how the system works for content, feeding back on improvements and testing new features with our development team.

Across both

• Work with both the product and marketing departments, balancing their priorities and acting as the go-to person for how content and product data come together on the site.
• Write and edit copy in our tone of voice, keeping it warm, clear and true to each destination.
• Liaise with our international team at Riksja and Erlebe, aligning on shared content, systems and processes so we can learn from each other.

What you’ll bring

Essential

• Experience managing web content in a CMS, ideally on a busy content-led or e-commerce site.
• Comfort working with structured product data and keeping large amounts of information accurate.
• A sharp eye for detail and a methodical way of working.
• Strong written English and confidence editing copy for the web.
• A working knowledge of SEO basics such as metadata, headings and internal linking.
• The ability to juggle requests from different teams and keep things moving.

Nice to have

• Experience in travel, especially tailor-made or multi-component trips.
• Experience with a headless CMS or with in-house or bespoke systems.
• Familiarity with tools such as Google Analytics, SEMrush and Search Console.
• An interest in responsible travel and the places we send people to.
