The use of AI At Condé Nast, original ideas and storytelling sit at the core of our work. Our audiences trust us to deliver quality content that is accurate, fair and distinctive. For this reason, Condé Nast teams do not rely on AI tools to create ideas and content. AI can be a useful support tool, but your ideas and opinions must still be your own. We want your application to reflect your individual thinking. Generic AI-generated answers are easy for us to recognise and don’t show your actual abilities. Please ensure your submission reflects your own authentic ideas, knowledge and experiences. Recruitment process: Next Steps: If your application progresses to the next stage, you will hear from us by February. Video Task: Successful candidates will receive a simple video task, which must be completed within 24 hours. The task will involve recording a short video of yourself answering set questions, which will help us in the shortlisting process. Outcome Notification: If you do not hear from us by March unfortunately, your application has not been successful. Regrettably, we are unable to provide individual feedback. We want you to have a great experience, so if you require any assistance or adjustments, please do let us know. --- About the Communications team Our Communications team is responsible for developing and delivering clear, consistent communications that support Condé Nast priorities, including across its flagship brands British Vogue, British GQ, Glamour, WIRED, The World of Interiors, House & Garden and Condé Nast Johansons.
