Men’s Health – the world’s largest men’s lifestyle title – requires a senior writer to join its Malaysian edition.

As an international title with a formidable reputation you should of course be able to craft entertaining and informative copy with your eyes closed. The nature of the job also dictates that you be a capable sub who is able to assist the editor in some of the more day-to-day administrative and managerial tasks of running a magazine.
