YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Own the city

• The role requires someone who stays close to what’s happening across Johannesburg and Pretoria — food, drinks, nightlife, events, art, music, entertainment, lifestyle, travel, wellness, and neighbourhood culture.
• You will know the difference between a place that is simply popular and one that genuinely deserves attention. You’ll have a sharp eye for what’s new, what’s next, what’s overhyped, and what is worth discovering early.

Lead editorial direction

• You will plan, write, commission, edit, and publish high-quality Gauteng content that is useful, engaging, credible, and unmistakably Time Out.
• This includes best-of guides, restaurant and venue write-ups, interviews, event roundups, cultural deep-dives, neighbourhood guides, lifestyle features, and timely city-led stories.

Build the content calendar

• Create and maintain an editorial calendar that reflects the rhythm of the city: launches, festivals, cultural moments, school holidays, long weekends, seasonal trends, major events, and what people are actually searching for and talking about.

Manage contributors

• Brief, guide, edit, and support freelance writers and contributors, making sure all content is accurate, original, on-brand, and delivered on time.

Think digital-first

• You will work with editorial, social, marketing, and commercial teams to package stories for search, newsletters, social platforms, audience growth, and engagement.
• Use SEO insights, audience data, social listening, and trend awareness to help shape what we cover and how we cover it.

Grow Time Out’s local relevance

• Build relationships with local tastemakers, creators, chefs, artists, promoters, venue owners, PR teams, and cultural communities to make sure Time Out remains close to the city and trusted by its audience.

Requirements

• A strong portfolio showing excellent writing, editing, taste, judgement, and city knowledge.
• Deep personal knowledge of Johannesburg and Pretoria’s food, drink, events, culture, entertainment, and lifestyle scene.
• A strong understanding of what resonates with digitally savvy audiences.
• The ability to write with personality while still being accurate, useful, and editorially credible.
• Strong editing, proofreading, commissioning, planning, and deadline-management skills.
• Confidence working with freelancers, contributors, creatives, marketing teams, and commercial stakeholders.
• An eye for trends, hidden gems, cultural shifts, and local stories with audience appeal.
• Comfort working across office, remote, and in-city environments.
