London, UK
Events Guide intern
at Dezeen
Dezeen is looking for an intern to join its team in London to support the Events Guide editor.
Created by Dezeen, the world’s most popular and influential architecture and design magazine, Dezeen Events Guide is a listings guide to architecture and design events around the world. It contains all the key fairs, conferences, design weeks and biennales that take place each year. The Events Guide also produces digital guides to the world’s largest design and architecture festivals.
We are looking for a talented and organised writer with a keen eye for detail to support the delivery of Dezeen Events Guide’s festival guide.
Reporting to our Events Guide editor, duties will include:
- writing and editing event listings
- ensuring SEO text for event listings and categories is up to date
- managing spreadsheets
- coordinating materials with clients
- working with the classified sales team to coordinate the guide
- working with the marketing team to promote Dezeen Events Guide
- coming up with creative ideas to grow the reach of the guide
Strong writing, copy-editing and communication skills are essential.
The ideal candidate is meticulous with detail and can excel in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment working to ambitious targets.
Experience using WordPress and Adobe Photoshop would be highly desirable.
Previous editing experience would be an advantage, as would knowledge of the architecture and design industry, but not essential.

We celebrate diversity and promote equality and inclusion amongst our staff. We welcome applications from all, regardless of personal characteristics or background.
