Career opportunities come in lots of sizes, and the trick is finding a role that’s just the right mix of challenge and reward. Well, even Goldilocks would like this gig: It’s just right.If you like the idea of bringing your audience-development skills and experience to bear at an already-competitive company that wants to swing for the fences, then read on.

Nitty Gritty

A pretty respectable audience-development push has already been under way at this brand, with good results to show for it. But now the team needs your highly-specific expertise to take them to the next level. Your overarching goal is to increase uniques and engagement by setting KPI targets and applying a highly disciplined/data-driven execution strategy to grow the numbers on all platforms.

Apply that rigorous A-B testing, comb through the analytics and come away with hard, actionable findings. You’ll bring strong editorial judgment as well as clear and supportable opinions on platforms, channels, content, strategies — all are part of your world, and, as you’d imagine, that’ll mean working with lots of people types throughout the company. They’ll also be looking to you to bring some good ideas and some contacts for establishing strategic partnerships. Like we said, this is a huge, juicy role, where you get to apply just about everything you’ve learned in the world of editorial, audience development, social media, video and digital publishing.

Hired Gun Profile

“Audience development” is a euphemism — what they’re looking for is a hardcore growth hacker — somebody with all the tools to take a company’s digital presence to the next level, mixing editorial instinct with highly mathematical precision to turn over all the stones and figure out how to reach people where they live.

You’ve come up through on the editorial and/or social-media side, developing a good gut sense of how to move audiences, along with the technical and analytical chops that allow you to interpret and synthesize data to help drive decisions. You’ve got enough management experience to set KPIs for yourself and a small team, and hew to them. And you’ve got significant industry contacts and sufficient general knowledge of how things work to be able to establish and maintain profitable partnerships with third-party publishers and platforms.

Finally, you’re a team player through and through, someone who takes great pleasure in reaching across departmental lines to make great things happen. That’s all just part of your general interpersonal awesomeness.
