Why join IHM?

You'll work across multiple growing hospitality media brands and have genuine ownership over improving websites that attract thousands of industry professionals each month. We're looking for someone who enjoys suggesting ideas, not just implementing tasks.

Application process

The recruitment process has three stages. We will explain the format and assessment criteria in advance, while keeping the exact website, article and practical brief confidential until each stage begins.

Stage 1: Written application

Please submit your CV, relevant portfolio or examples of work, and concise answers to the following questions. Your written answers should be no more than 600 words in total:

· Describe one website improvement you have delivered. What was the problem, what did you change and what was the result?

· How would you decide which improvements to prioritise on a media or news website?

· How would you balance an urgent content update with a longer-term user experience, SEO or conversion project?

We will assess clarity, commercial judgement, practical thinking and evidence of relevant experience.

Stage 2: Practical website exercise

Shortlisted candidates will complete a time-limited practical exercise in a controlled WordPress environment. Candidates will receive temporary, restricted access to an existing news article and will be asked to improve it in draft mode only. No changes will be published.

The exercise will assess page structure, visual hierarchy, mobile presentation, usability, calls to action, audience growth opportunities, commercial awareness and attention to detail. The exact article, assets and brief will be provided at the start of the exercise.

Stage 3: Website review presentation and interview

Final-stage candidates will prepare a short presentation reviewing one IHM news website and identifying the highest-priority improvements. The review should consider user experience, content journeys, SEO, newsletter conversion, commercial visibility, mobile performance and practical implementation.

The presentation will be followed by an interview and questions. The website, presentation length and full brief will be supplied to finalists in advance.

Please note: The practical exercise is for assessment only, will be completed in draft or staging mode, and will not be used as unpaid live production work.

To apply, please email your complete application to meg@internationalhospitality.media. Please include your CV, portfolio/examples of work and written answers.
