The Economist is hiring an Audience Editor in London on a permanent contract, to begin as soon as possible. Their primary responsibility will be to produce our portfolio of 22 newsletters, 18 of which are exclusive to our subscribers, as part of a team of five people. These titles include The War Room, Café Europa, Money Talks and Simply Science; therefore experience of writing, editing and/or distributing newsletters, and a genuine passion for topics such as geopolitics, business, finance and technology, would be a distinct advantage. Candidates will have a strong understanding of publishers’ newsletter strategies, as voracious consumers of this form of journalism themselves. They will be able to explain how this format works as a driver of acquisition and retention and to create a sense of community. They may have used tools such as Salesforce Media Cloud and Parsely to produce newsletters and assess levels of performance and engagement.
