Editorial Partnerships and Awards Fellow

Insider Inc. is hiring a paid distribution fellow to work on Insider’s awards and partnerships team. Insider’s awards team oversees the operations of submitting to various industry awards on behalf of the newsroom. We work with teams, from web and video to social and graphics, from across the company to nominate the very best of Insider’s journalism. We work year round with editors to strategize which of the most impactful stories could be submitted for the appropriate awards. We’ve helped the newsroom win 35 awards in 2022 alone, including the company’s very first Pulitzer Prize. The partnerships team is responsible for overseeing and maintaining editorial partnerships with brands like Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, SmartNews, Flipboard, and Newsbreak. We curate and pitch editorial packages, relay to the newsroom successful headlines and framings, and measure and analyze performance across all these platforms. The partnerships fellow will work closely with the Senior distribution editor, the editorial partnerships team, and a number of editors and producers throughout the larger newsroom during awards season. They will help with administrative tasks, track and update the award calendar year, help our graphics team put together PDFs, and organize submissions plans.

They will also help expand our reach on platforms such as Flipboard and Digg through pitching, curating storyboards, and scheduling posts. The distribution fellow will also assist in administrative tasks for other partnerships, including MSN, Yahoo, and Apple — and help with monthly and quarterly data reports to track performance.
