Travel Writer
We’re offering a rare opportunity to join Rouleur’s award-winning editorial team and take the lead on developing our cycling travel coverage across all platforms — from long-form features and digital storytelling to podcasts and our event, Rouleur Live.
This role sits within the editorial team and your primary responsibility will be to grow our content base and audience interest in cycling-based travel, producing exceptional journalism in line with Rouleur’s reputation for quality. An important part of the role will be to work commercially with our travel partners such as tourist boards as well as our own Rouleur Travel business — helping shape content that supports and promotes its premium cycling trips.
You’ll also be able to contribute more broadly across Rouleur’s editorial mix — racing, tech, performance and culture alongside our small, agile content team.
