We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to look for a new editor for our non-Icelandic websites.
The job involves the following:
- Editing this blog
- Writing our email newsletter in English
- Writing and editing content for icelandexpress.com, including booking confirmations and reminder emails
- Maintaining and overseeing translations for our other international sites in Danish, German, Swedish, and other languages
- Occasional offline writing, editing, and translating for our inflight magazine, print ads, and other stuff
You must:
- speak and write perfect, no-nonsense English
- have good common sense
- be good at editing other people’s writing
- be fun and not suck
It would also be good if you:
- speak some Icelandic
- have some experience with content management systems
- have experience writing for the web
- know your way around Photoshop or some other photo-editing software
If this is you, then please drop us a line (including a decent CV) at job@icelandexpress.is before 28 January.

Hi, how much Icelandic does this person have to know, and is the job at your office in Iceland?
regards, Hal
Hi Hal — sorry we didn’t mention it in the post, but yes, this person would be based at our offices in Reykjavik. And about the language, it would be good if he or she understood at least some Icelandic. Hope this helps — Valgeir
AH! It’s a Lionel Richie quote.
Yes, it’s a Lionel Ritchie reference. And actually, that’s one more requirement right there: the ability to squeeze obscure cultural references into headlines.
Lionel Ritchie and Icelandic culture? Seems like you need to know a lot about the culture. I´ve heard that Icelandic culture is one of a kind…and I don´t get that connection.

Hi, is there still a vacancy on this job? I’m from Germany, living in Paris and looking for a challenge in Iceland. Do you only looking for native speakers of English?
Regards,
Ernesto
Sorry Ernesto — the deadline was eight days ago, but thanks for asking. We do hope you’ll find your challenge in Iceland. Especially if that means you’ll fly direct from Paris with Iceland Express this summer!
