Who you are

Editorial Leadership That Inspires: You’ve led and shaped editorial teams within fast-paced digital environments—ideally across lifestyle and entertainment. You know how to define vision, guide creative direction, and inspire teams to deliver standout content that speaks to millions, not just thousands
Cultural and Creative Visionary: You see where the audience is going, before they do. With a sharp editorial instinct and creative mindset, you know how to turn trends into stories and insights into impact. You bring original ideas to life across formats, platforms and markets with confidence, clarity, and flair
Obsessed with Audiences, Powered by Data: You live and breathe audience behaviour. You don’t just check the numbers—you act on them. You understand what engages and what doesn’t, and use data as a creative springboard to evolve content strategy, sharpen tone, and drive sustained growth
Collaborative Force with Influence: You’re a natural communicator and trusted partner; whether you’re working with commercial leads, writers, platform strategists or C-suite execs. You align teams around a common vision, champion cross-functional creativity, and bring people with you every step of the way

Salary benchmarks

Our take

LADbible Group was founded to revolutionise news and entertainment for the new social media generation. It does this with brands such as UniLad and LADbible, providing shareable, viral clips and content.

With an agile approach, LADbible group is one of the new age publishers that have quickly become competitors to traditional, mainstream media networks. Whilst its audience is traditionally young men, it also launched the women-focused brand, Tyla, to expand its reach among consumers.

This sector continues to be competitive, but LADbible Group has a significant presence, established following and distinct identity. All of this allows the company to maintain a strong position and continue to grow.
