We are looking for an Engagement Producer to join us at the Daily Express. Managing our day-to-day presence across social platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Threads, and WhatsApp, you’ll turn high-level strategy into slick execution that grows our audience and creates meaningful engagement. You are a social native who knows exactly how to stop the scroll - whether you are creating high-impact content for Facebook, curating compelling newsletters or finding fresh off-platform routes to make our journalism fly. 

This role is home & hub based, linked to our London Hub (typically 3 days in hub per week). We are therefore open to candidates based in and around London.

About us

Hello, we’re Reach. Every day, our trusted news, stories and content connect with millions of people where they live - whether that’s on their social feed or at their neighbourhood newsstand; through their local community or their take on the hot topic of the day.

We're home to more than 120 trusted brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like MyLondon, BelfastLive, and the Manchester Evening News, and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.

It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us the UK and Ireland's largest commercial news publisher. We reach 70% of the UK's online population and speak to over 100 million social followers around the world. And we’re just getting started…

Your story, with Reach

As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.

We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.

We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.

What will the role involve?

You will manage and scale our presence across major platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Instagram, and WhatsApp. By employing platform-specific tactics and tailoring content for every channel, you will ensure our storytelling remains dynamic and fresh while driving meaningful reach and building long-term audience habits.

A core focus of this role is designing and delivering engagement initiatives that transform passive readers into active, native participants. This extends to our email strategy, where you will craft high-impact newsletters designed to compel readers to engage deeply with our content and brand.

Using a sharp analytical mindset, you will continuously refine headlines, imagery, and posting schedules to maximize the impact of every piece of content. You will work closely within the broader editorial team, providing agile cover for Audience Editors and ensuring a consistent, high-quality output across the board.

Who are we looking for?

You are a seasoned social media expert with a demonstrated ability to grow engagement across platforms, with a particular specialty in Facebook. As a natural digital storyteller, you possess an instinctive grasp of what makes a story resonate online, ensuring that high-quality journalism is optimized to "travel" and reach the widest possible audience.

Beyond your creative instincts, you are fluent in digital publishing and highly confident navigating a CMS to manage content effectively. You are a clear communicator and a proactive team player who thrives in fast-paced environments, remaining agile and ready to adapt whenever new opportunities or breaking news cycles arise.

How we'll look after you

We take good care of our people - and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:

• 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
• An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
• Big moment day - an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you - like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
• Bonus scheme - you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
• Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
• Supportive and progressive people policies - we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait to join us to know what to expect from us, which is why we share this overview of the policies we have in place to support families and carers. If there's something you want to understand more about, just ask - it won’t make a difference to your application.
• A healthcare cash plan - giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
• Car lease scheme - you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
• Wellbeing support - including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
• Access to lots of discounts - including 15% off with Reach's very own online marketplace, Yimbly, where you can buy everything from homewares to beauty products.
• Interest-free loans - including for season tickets and technology.

If you’re excited about this role but don’t tick every single box, please don’t let that stop you from applying.

We know that everyone has their own story to tell, and we value potential, passion and the perspectives that different backgrounds bring to our work.

Diverse perspectives strengthen our teams and help us better serve our audiences, which is why we’re dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and supported. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.

We are committed to a recruitment process that is fair and welcoming to all, without discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
