What You’ll Do:

• Think up unique membership offerings, marketing campaigns and member events
• Build and be involved in developing membership development ideas from around the company
• Connect our audience with our journalists and their work by providing high-value experiences and content for our members
• Experiment with attracting members through a variety of different content formats
• Plan swarms around scoops and major news alongside editors and reporters, including member-only communications and events
• Collaborate with business, research, product, and data teams to provide insight into membership program health
• Establish membership goals and track monetization benchmarks
• Work with social platforms on membership growth projects
• Build this project and communicate its vision the broader newsroom

You should:

• Be enthusiastic about selling BuzzFeed News’s incredible journalism
• Be excited to sell the news to people who care about the news. You can have a background in journalism, marketing, newsletters, non-profits
• Have some knowledge of email marketing functions and other functions tied to a membership program
• Know how to productively collaborate across business, tech and editorial news
• Be willing to dive into revenue and audience data reporting and measurement
