We are looking for a smart and open-minded news junkie to join the BuzzFeed News curation team. The team generally focuses on curating our content for publishing platforms, but for this specific role we are looking for someone who will also own outward-facing curation projects such as our Outside Your Bubble project.

The successful candidate will have experience at a professional news organization, superior news judgment, and excellent communication skills, and be obsessed with figuring out what people are sharing, liking, recommending, and talking about online.

This is a role for someone who knows the internet from Twitter to Reddit, someone who can identify interesting conversations wherever they’re happening, and someone more curious than ideological.

This job is full-time and based in NYC. We offer competitive compensation and a stock option program.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage outward-facing curation projects with an eye toward hacking, scaling, and improving their formats.
  • Seek out conversations that tie to BuzzFeed News reporting and package them interestingly for our audience on multiple publishing platforms.
  • Help manage and grow BuzzFeed News’ presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.
  • Effectively use news judgment and data to curate stories for the BuzzFeed News app, social accounts, and homepage to best present news stories for our audiences.
  • Determine which news events should be sent as push notifications, then craft and send the notifications.
  • Coordinate with the news desk to gather and verify social content.
  • Embrace new and innovative ways to tell news stories across BuzzFeed’s distributed news channels.

Requirements:

  • Deep understanding of Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc., and why content on those platforms became popular.
  • Past experience with a project that focuses on aggregating and genuinely understanding varied perspectives.
  • 1-2 years’ experience editing an app, homepage, or social media account, or reporting on diverse internet platforms for a news organization.
  • A national and world news junkie with an interest in and understanding of politics, business, tech, sports, science, and global affairs.
  • Relentless attention to detail while comfortably multitasking in fast-moving news environments.
  • A demonstrated ability to craft notifications, tweets, Facebook posts, and live coverage that people want to share and engage with.
  • Well-rounded knowledge of photo- and video-editing software.
  • Experience with real-time analytics and social sharing tools.
  • Must be a team player and live on the internet.
