Produce a high volume of high-quality news and analysis, ensuring our readers are comprehensively informed about developments

in the EMEA naval sector and other defence areas.

Take ownership of your news beat, working independently to cover developments while regularly discussing story merits and

reporting approaches with your Head of News.

Maintain and develop extensive relationships with sources and press offices through regular telephone, face-to-face, and other

forms of contact, building trusted channels for information and enquiries.

Rapidly expand your technical knowledge to authoritatively question and report on developments in naval platforms, systems, and

equipment.

Collaborate with Janes colleagues to incorporate insights from reference analysts, defence budgets, market forecasts, and other

resources, adding original value to your reporting.

Enhance stories through the effective use of visual content, including annotated photographs, charts, conceptual graphics,

satellite imagery, and open-source media analysis.

Attend defence exhibitions, conferences, technology demonstrations, and military exercises as both a reporter and ambassador

for Janes.

Develop, pitch, and deliver strong analytical and feature content.
Commission and edit news stories from across the EMEA region, serving as Janes’ point of contact for topical freelance content.

The ideal skills and experience for this role are:

A proven ability to produce a high volume of well-written news stories to tight deadlines. Candidates should have a

demonstrable track record in news reporting.

Experience of, and an interest in, defence or military reporting is not essential but would be advantageous.
Consistent motivation to pursue primary and multiple source reporting.
A confident and professional telephone manner, with the ability to conduct detailed interviews and revisit sources to verify

and cross-check information.

Excellent written and spoken English, together with strong editing and peer-review skills, including reviewing copy from

freelancers for whom English is a second language.

Strong news judgement and the ability to generate story ideas independently and deliver them with minimal supervision.
The ability to write accurate, informative, and impartial copy concisely and quickly, while responding positively to feedback

and adapting to Janes' editorial standards.

A sound understanding of libel law, transparent sourcing, right of reply, and responsible defence reporting.
Strong work ethic, organisational skills, and a collaborative approach to teamwork.
