Social Media Marketing Manager
Overview:
We’re looking for an ambitious Social Media Manager to help grow The Dispatch’s social presence and amplify the work of our newsroom. In this role, you’ll be The Dispatch’s voice on social media, responsible for developing and executing a social media strategy that builds our brand and drives growth for our core business.
About The Dispatch:
At a time of growing industry uncertainty and an alarming erosion of civic discourse, The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective —we’re conservatives, classical liberals, libertarians—but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism. Started in 2019 by Steve Hayes, the Editor-in-Chief of The Weekly Standard, and Jonah Goldberg, editor at National Review, The Dispatch has filled a valuable gap on the center-right in the media ecosystem as captured in recent articles in Techcrunch, The Atlantic and other publications.
