We're ASOS. We blend our flair for fashion with our love of cutting-edge technology, but more importantly we're interested in how we can bring the best out of you.

We exist to give people the confidence to be whoever they want to be, and that goes for our people too. At ASOS, you're free to be your true self without judgment, and channel your creativity into a platform used by millions.

The Sub Editor works with the Chief Sub Editor to ensure ASOS content is error-free, consistent and in the correct tone of voice. This includes homepage, promo copy, Style Feed articles, CRM emails and push notifications, brand partnerships content, organic/paid social, UX/UI and special projects. It goes without saying that the candidate will have an instinctive understanding of spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax - but the ability to scrutinise tone of voice is also key to this role.

Our work involves collaborating with multiple teams across the business, from CRM, Retail, Fashion, SEO and Trade to Sustainability, Brand Strategy, Corporate Comms, PR, Tech and Legal.
