Content & Community Manager, Second Act

Permanent employee, Full-time · London

Your mission

HELLO! Magazine’s Second Act is a platform and community celebrating and supporting women in midlife. It reframes midlife as a time of possibility, reinvention, and empowerment, offering inspiration, advice, and stories from women embracing their next chapter. Second Act combines expert guidance, community engagement, and immersive experiences to help women live their most confident, exciting, and fulfilled lives.


Our Content & Community Manager will work with the Second Act Editor and wider team to make sure community is always at the heart of Second Act. You’ll be a smart, efficient and hands-on doer who loves planning and executing as much as writing. 


Day to day, you’ll be creating and managing social content and newsletters, editing and uploading articles to our CMS, managing our podcast promo and making sure our content calendar has lots of satisfying green ticks on it. 


You’ll also never stop thinking about how you can get our growing community excited: whether that’s by engaging our audience in conversations below the line or spotting a social trend that will get midlife women talking.


You’ll understand that great editorial doesn’t end when an article is published, but is carefully thought through, scheduled and carried across newsletters, social media and meaningful audience conversation.

You’ll be a core voice of HELLO!’s Second Act, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to the editorial workflow and shaping how our audience experiences the brand across different platforms and touchpoints.
