This is an opportunity for a highly creative and commercially aware editorial leader to shape a major women’s media brand for a new generation. You will set the agenda for what Cosmopolitan talks about, how it talks about it and how it connects with its audience across every platform, while understanding how a strong editorial proposition can drive audience growth, brand relevance and commercial opportunities.

You will be responsible for building a distinctive editorial proposition across fashion, beauty, culture, entertainment and women’s lifestyle, while ensuring Cosmopolitan remains relevant, aspirational and deeply connected to its audience.

  • Keep the brand at the forefront of cultural conversations, trends and emerging talent.

Audience & Content

  • Develop content that is relevant, engaging and meaningful to a modern female audience.
  • Understand audience behaviour, cultural shifts and emerging trends and translate them into editorial opportunities.
  • Champion ambitious, original storytelling across digital, social, video, print and experiential platforms.
  • Work closely with the social and video teams to ensure the brand translates effectively across platforms.
  • Build strong relationships with fashion, beauty, entertainment and cultural talent.

Leadership

  • Lead, inspire and develop the editorial team, creating a culture of creativity, ambition and excellence.
  • Set clear editorial standards and ensure consistently high-quality output across the brand.
  • Collaborate closely with commercial, creative, social, video and production teams.
  • Represent Cosmopolitan at industry events, with partners, talent and within the wider media landscape.

Brand Growth

  • Work closely with commercial leadership to identify opportunities that strengthen the brand while protecting editorial integrity.
  • Contribute to the development of major editorial franchises, events and brand initiatives.
  • Build Cosmopolitan’s profile and influence within the regional fashion, beauty, media and cultural landscape.
  • Identify opportunities to grow the audience, relevance and influence of the brand.

What We’re Looking For

  • Significant editorial experience, ideally within fashion, beauty, women’s lifestyle, culture or entertainment media.
  • Proven experience leading an editorial team and setting a strong editorial vision.
  • A deep understanding of the modern female audience and the evolving media landscape.
  • Strong knowledge of fashion, beauty, entertainment, culture and digital media.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, storytelling and communication skills.
  • A strong digital and social mindset, with an understanding of how audiences consume and engage with content today.
  • Established relationships across the fashion, beauty, entertainment and creative industries.
  • Commercial awareness and the ability to work effectively with senior internal and external stakeholders.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
