Business Insider is hiring a hybrid Social Media Video/Editorial Operations Fellow to join our Audience and Operations teams. This fellow will split their time between distributing videos across various social networks and supporting our larger newsroom with operations tasks.

Business Insider is for people who are driven, optimistic and always looking forward. Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We tell our audience what they want and need to know to improve their lives and the world with storytelling that is accessible, smart, sometimes unexpected, and always helpful. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insider’s three core values: we are all one team, we are effective, and we strive to get better every day.

The Business 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, they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. This paid role requires you to work for 40 hours a week. Fellowships can be hybrid, and we expect New York-based fellows to come into our offices at least twice per week.

The Role & Teams:

As a Social Media Video Fellow, you will be responsible for distributing new videos and stories on social channels as they are published, as well as recirculating dozens of evergreen archive videos per day.

As an Editorial Operations Fellow, you will support the editorial operations team on projects ranging from managing our freelance contracts and invoices to coordinating newsroom meetings. The fellow will perform administrative duties to help our global newsroom run smoothly.
