Production Editor - Sunday Mail

What will the role involve? Playing a central role in the production of the Sunday Mail. Laying out pages and spreads, writing headlines, selecting and placing stories while allocating work to other members of the team. Revising pages and content to ensure they are produced to the highest possible standards and in line with strict deadlines.

Filling wings, anchors, and other page elements with suitable stories, and finding stories for gaps either from other papers in the group or by scouring the wires.
