The deputy works closely with designers and photo editors to generate art concepts. Candidates must have experience with lifestyle service journalism; solid industry and writer contacts; and excellent editing, writing and story-packaging skills. Must be able to multitask and problem-solve.

The ideal candidate will have special interest in/knowledge of design/decorating and online editorial.
