Insider Inc. is hiring a paid social media fellow to distribute Business Insider and Insider content across various social networks and platforms.
The Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions, and by the end of six months are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. For more information on the Insider Fellowship Program, see here.
Social media fellows manage posting schedules across social channels and help the distribution team reach its goals on platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
