The Cannavist is a leading voice in the world of wellness, CBD and medical cannabis and we’re looking for an editor to join our ranks and help push the magazine to new heights.

You will lead our small team of talented writers, curating a host of cannabis-related content from around the globe. And with our recent ‘turning a new leaf’ relaunch, you will also focus on stories from the world of health and wellbeing.

You will produce and sub copy to a high standard, adapting to the Cannavist’s distinct style and spreading the positive message about legal cannabis. Additionally, you will source stories, host interviews and generate unique content for the magazine and blog, keeping up-to-date with the latest industry happenings.

As a consumer-orientated magazine, we are stocked in a number of popular retailers such as WHSmith and McColl’s, as well as the digital Readly platform. This means you will be producing, writing and editing copy for an international audience of CBD-users, wellness activists and many more.

We are looking for an applicant who is up for the challenge, boasting not only a natural flare for writing and experience in editing, but also the attitude and enthusiasm to match.
