ABOUT THE TEAM

theSkimm makes it easier to be smarter. We started as two friends on a couch and have since purchased more couches and gotten new friends, er... employees. Skimm HQ works hard but knows when to take breaks and when it's time to update the Spotify playlist. We drink the kool-aid but know we're drinking it. We are disrupting morning routines and information consumption one Skimm'r at a time. Come join us, we're changing things.

theSkimm analytics, product, and engineering teams are a group of fast-moving and creative thinkers who thrive on creating products Skimm’rs love. We are redefining how to build products that fit into routines, and we take a user-centric, collaborative approach while doing so.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

The Skimm'bassador Lead will own theSkimm's most strategic asset. You are responsible for the growth, retention, and monetization of a unique program that exists nowhere else. You will take an engaged community and productize, scale, retain, and monetize it.
