BikeRadar, the world’s biggest – and best – bike reviews website is looking for someone with a love of cycling and digital media to take the lead as the site’s new Editor-in-Chief.

Immediate Media is the world’s leading provider of cycling content with other brands including Cycling Plus, Mountain Biking UK and 220 Triathlon – all the UK’s top sellers in their respective sports.

You will help set the strategy for the website and execute it, delivering ideas and a vision for the website and translating this into action. You will be responsible for the overall traffic performance of the site across a number of key metrics and work closely with the commercial teams to deliver the product they require to meet their targets.

You’ll have an in-depth knowledge of cycling, cycling technology and the market, preferably through work experience within the bike industry or evidence of participation in cycling. You will have a strong track record of working at a senior level in digital media and a thorough understanding of the sector, in particular, SEO and data analytics.

Excellent written English, strong organisational and planning skills, and the ability to work to tight deadlines are essential. You’ll demonstrate strong leadership experience and skills, having successfully led teams in previous roles, while experience of working with teams based internationally is preferred.
