Editorial Assistant / Manager

Editorial Assistant Australia / Singapore / Philippines / Remote

We are looking for our next Editorial Assistant to join the team.

Bud is a PR & Content agency that helps ambitiously disruptive organisations solve complex communications problems. We do this by crafting stories and strategies that build trust, earn believability, and provoke action.

We're looking for a sharp, curious and creative Editorial Assistant or Manager to join our growing regional team. If you love the craft of writing, have a nose for a compelling story, and want to work with some of the most interesting brands in tech and beyond, we'd love to hear from you.

What you will do

• Support the creation of high-quality editorial content across a range of formats — from long-form articles and whitepapers to op-eds and executive thought leadership pieces
• Help develop and refine content strategies that position our clients as credible, authoritative voices in their industries
• Understand and know communication channels and be up to date as they evolve
• Work closely with senior team members to research, draft and edit content that is sharp, engaging and on-brand
• Assist in maintaining consistent tone, style and messaging across client content programmes
• Build a strong understanding of our clients' industries, audiences and communications goals to inform the stories we tell
• Support in growing your editorial toolkit through hands-on client work and Bud's dedicated learning programmes
  
  

What you will get in return

• Salary above industry average
• Mentorship from Buddies who've worked for some of the largest brands and agencies globally
• Flexibility on where you work and opportunity to be hybrid if you are in Singapore or Australia, and with remote options in other markets
• A supportive and collaborative work environment, in an agency that has been nominated three times in APAC-wide Best Place to Work awards, and won the PRCA Workplace Champion (Small Agency) award
• Up to 3 hours a week dedicated to study and upskilling
• A progressive range of benefits including birthdays off, annual office closure, WFH Desk fund, Continuous Learning Programme, monthly early finishes, Snack Fridays, yearly offsite trips, and many more
• Healthcare benefits covering both out- and in-patient
  
  

What we need

• At the assistant level, 1–2 years for  experience in editorial, content, copywriting, journalism or a related field — agency experience is a plus but not essential
• At the manager level, proven track record in managing an editorial team, creating a system for producing high-quality and/or award-winning content, and landing in top-tier publications
• Exceptional written English with a keen eye for detail, structure and storytelling
• A genuine passion for ideas where you find interesting angles where others see blank pages
• Comfort working across multiple markets, projects, and client voices simultaneously
• Alignment with our agency values:
  • Hustle — We work smart to create exponential outcomes, and embrace challenges like a warrior.
  • Playful Curiosity — We're fascinated by the world around us, and value humility, actions over words, and the power of listening.
  • Always Be Growing — We strive to be better every day.
  • Authenticity — We're thoroughly good people to work with, and manifest our diverse Rojak spirit through compassion and speaking plainly.
    
    

Other things

• Inspiration comes from every direction. We've got a flat hierarchy where the best ideas win out, no matter where they come from.
• Enjoying what we do is as important to us as our commitment to delivering excellence. We're a people-driven business with an uncompromising focus on building a curious, driven and collaborative team.
• We have a shared commitment to being socially and environmentally responsible, with company policy examples such as offsetting all flights we take for agency travel.
