Salary: Up to £55k (dependent on experience), plus generous pension scheme, flexible working culture
Term: Permanent
Reports to: Director of IT, digital and content
Background:
Our vision is a world where data is at the heart of understanding and decision-making.
Founded in 1834, the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is one of the world’s leading organisations advocating for the importance of statistics and data. We’re a professional body for all statisticians and data scientists – wherever they may live.
We have more than 12,000 individual members in the UK and across the world. As a charity, we advocate for the key role of statistics and data in society, and work to ensure that policy formulation and decision making are informed by evidence for the public good.
The membership of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) constitutes a preeminent source of statistical expertise. Members work with RSS staff to support our work across areas such as policy development, education, training, statistical communication, and statistical literacy. Many of these activities result in content outputs that are distributed across a range of platforms – reports, articles, blogs, events, etc. In addition, we produce Significance magazine, the Real World Data Science platform, and a range of renowned academic journals.
We are looking for someone to coordinate our content across the Society, ensuring outputs and derivative products are tailored and targeted to meet the different needs and interest levels of different audiences. Our membership and wider audiences are expanding, and the post holder will develop and implement a content strategy that sets a framework for content that is both aligned with RSS policy objectives and strategic goals, and targeted at and adapted for different audiences to ensure the widest possible reach.
The RSS is a small organisation and the post will require a mix of hands-on content creation and editorial leadership. The post holder will be responsible for a range of key platforms and publications, including the RSS website which is due to be redeveloped. They will oversee management of RSS journals and Significance magazine, and lead our content programme to deliver wider content-related objectives across the organisation.
An initial priority will be reestablishing and developing Real World Data Science. The Head of Content will work as an editor, commissioning content - eg case studies - from data scientists and attracting funding to ensure future sustainability. They will ensure a regular flow of content and consider the future of the platform in the context of a strategic review of content across the RSS.
Discovery work has been undertaken in preparation for the development of a content strategy. The post holder will implement quick wins that have already been identified, including questioning what we produce and why, and improving how we share content and measure impact. They will build on this to develop a strategy and enable a more strategic approach to content across the RSS.
Pension and benefits: Our defined contribution pension scheme can be joined after three months in post. Your contributions of up to 8% of salary will be double matched by the Society (making a maximum contribution by the Society of 16%). A training budget, season ticket loan, cycle to work scheme and employee assistance programme are also available.

In person attendance for certain meetings is required, including all-staff/team meetings and governance/committee meetings that take place in person.
