LONDONIST - Intern

We’re looking for a bright, London-savvy intern with great organisational and communication skills for a three-month paid placement.

With a sharp eye for detail, a willingness to get stuck-in, and an ability to spot what needs doing, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks — from fielding email enquiries and researching what’s on in London; through to updating the website, preparing reports and creating social media content.

Alongside excellent written and spoken English, you should be highly-organised with great computer skills and be confident using Word, Excel and Google Mail.

If you are energetic, passionate about London, eager to learn and want to join our small fast-paced team in our Shoreditch office then drop us a line to tell us why. Send us a brief note introducing yourself with a CV and links to your online presence (blog/Twitter/Tumblr etc). Email intern@londonist.com
