The Current E team needs you! We’re looking for a digital and social media whiz to manage, develop and expand multiple channels (for us as well as our clients), including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and our HTML emailer system. As these grow, so too will your responsibilities.

Position: Digital media editor (freelance)

Hours: 8hrs p/w (to start)

Rate: DoE

Location: Working from home (close proximity to Current E office in Kent, UK would be ideal)

What you’ll be doing: Working closely with our editor across Current E and client channels, you’ll be setting up and managing existing social media accounts; scheduling content; sparking and sustaining conversations; expanding reach and adding followers. You’ll also look after our HTML emailer system, including managing audience lists. You’ll need to be fluent in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Reddit. Little and often will be key, so we’ll expect you to spend some time every day cultivating these channels.

Who we’re looking for: A little bit of a pedant when it comes to grammar, spelling and fact-checking, you’ll be completely comfortable in the world of social media and understand how different messaging works on different platforms. You’ll know the best way to deliver effective campaigns and you’ll be keen to experiment with new ways of doing things. You’ll be able to quickly understand and conform to different styles and tones of voice. An understanding of engineering, racing and tech terminology would be a Good Thing To Have. You’ll be available to nurture social media channels during the day and to respond to urgent queries and breaking news. This could be an ideal opportunity for recent graduates looking to break into the world of communications.

Start date: As soon as we have the right person

Who we are

We’re best known for our Formula E-focused website and magazine, which we’ve been running for nearly three years. However, the Current E brand has grown considerably in the past year and now acts as umbrella for our three main business areas:

Current E: a busy website, magazine and Twitter channel, dedicated to accurate, timely and indepth reporting on the FIA Formula E racing series. We’ve been there since the beginning and we’ve had a trackside team at every race, from the very first race. Current E Photographic: our growing photography team, which supplies services to up to six of the 10 Formula E race teams as well as to Formula E itself. We also shoot for sponsors and drivers, we work across other series and we shoot for corporate clients outside the racing world. Current E Creative: our marketing division, which supports clients with a range of communications services. We provide graphic design (logos, business cards, posters, infographics, invitations, brochures, websites etc), copywriting (brochures, websites, reports, bids, articles, award submissions etc), project management (including high level exhibition and event management), PR services and, of course, digital and social media management.
