  • Translate journalism, analysis, podcasts, video, and newsletters into timely, high-performing social content.
  • Create clear pathways from social platforms to their website, newsletters, podcasts, and subscription products.
  • Partner with editorial and growth teams to align social programming with audience acquisition, conversion, and retention goals.
  • Manage daily publishing calendars, platform-specific messaging, community engagement, and breaking-news coverage.
  • Identify opportunities for short-form video, graphics, clips, live coverage, and other social-first formats.
  • Monitor platform trends, algorithm changes, cultural conversations, and competitor activity to inform strategy.
  • Establish, track, and report on KPIs related to reach, engagement, referral traffic, newsletter acquisition, and subscription conversion.
  • Use analytics and testing to optimize content formats, headlines, posting cadence, calls to action, and audience targeting.
  • Help maintain editorial standards, voice, and brand integrity across all social channels.
  • Collaborate with paid media partners to identify opportunities for organic and paid social efforts to reinforce one another.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in social media, audience development, digital publishing, growth marketing, journalism, politics, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated success growing an audience through organic social media and translating social performance into measurable business results.
  • Strong knowledge of major social platforms, evolving algorithms, audience behavior, and platform-native content formats.
  • Excellent writing, editing, headline-writing, and editorial judgment.
  • Experience working in a news, media, politics, public affairs, or fast-moving content environment.
  • Comfort analyzing performance data and using insights to make strategic decisions.
  • Experience developing or managing short-form video, graphics, and other visual social content.
  • Ability to prioritize competing deadlines, respond to breaking news, and work effectively across teams.
  • Strong understanding of the political and media landscape, with familiarity with National Review’s audience and editorial voice preferred.
  • A highly organized, collaborative, experimental, and results-oriented approach.
