Contexte is seeking a manager for its adaptation editor service — the newsroom team that brings our France and EU editions to life. The newly created post would translate and adapt specific editorial content from French to English or vice versa (60%), while also managing the team of adaptation editors (40%).

Why this role?

Contexte’s international expansion began in May 2025 with Energy, our first EU-focused English-language vertical, followed by Power in March 2026.

To produce parallel news content in English and French, we rely on a team of part-time adaptation editors. This team will expand to 6 editors with the launch of a third EU vertical in the coming months and needs now a dedicated manager.

This hybrid role will structure the team, support its professional development, and ensure consistent quality standards when translating and adapting between languages.

The Role at a Glance

A full-time position, based in our newsroom in Brussels. Management tasks account for 40% of working time; the remaining 60% for adapting content between languages for one of the verticals (Energy, Power, or the forthcoming new one).

Our publication needs mean your shift would be roughly 1pm-9pm each weekday.

Good to know: You will adapt content into either English or French — whichever is your native language. As a manager, you must be able to understand, challenge, and correct work in either language, and coach the entire team, whichever language they speak.

Responsibilities

As manager:

Ensure editorial quality and standards: work with the team to develop and maintain a shared adaptation guide (style norms, EU glossary, examples); organise cross-checks; identify recurring errors; work with team members on objectives and action plans.
Organise schedules and anticipate workload: manage holidays/absence, anticipate news cycles, arrange back-ups, and ensure work-life balance.
Establish management routines: hold regular group and individual check-ins and provide structured feedback on work.
Staff the team: oversee recruitment and onboarding of new hires as the team grows.
Work with other editorial departments — including managing ****editors, proofreaders, etc — to anticipate needs, prioritise tasks, and communicate team needs (tools, training, etc).

As adaptation editor:

Adapt content: translate and adapt articles from your assigned vertical into your native language — working autonomously and accurately to meet same-day publication deadlines.
Ensure editorial excellence: edit and correct your own adaptations before publication, ensuring precision on facts, names, titles, and EU terminology.
Collaborate with other adaptation editors and journalists: flag ambiguities or errors found in source articles, discuss sensitive adaptation choices, and contribute to the team’s shared bilingual glossary.

Why join us?

Help develop a European newsroom focused on sharing expertise, multilingual teamwork, and high journalistic standards.
Help build an independent media outlet on a European scale.
Be part of a company that takes work-life balance seriously.
