Description

• Is multi-tasking your middle name? • Have you ever felt overly excited after solving a challenging work problem? • When people have questions, do they come to you for answers? • Were you the kid who played with the new game right out of the box, rather than first reading the instructions? • And…does joining one of the world's most innovative and fastest-growing social media teams appeal to you? • If you answered "yes" to the above, this might be the job for you. • The Deputy Director (aka "The Hustler") will ensure that we deliver the greatest experience to our 3 million+ social media and email subscribers (and rack up the numbers to prove it). • Each day, our Editorial team pumps out dozens of "nuggets" of content, and it'll be your job to help figure out which of those will reach the most people on the web, and then mobilize our distribution channels to get the traffic flowing. • You'll help craft our audience growth strategy, write and A/B test sign-up messaging all across our site, and help organize the team in heated moments of viral traffic spikes (among other things). • You'll be at the center of it all — Facebook, Twitter, email, and more. • You should be comfortable with numbers, basic statistical testing, and thinking through challenges creatively and scientifically. • You won’t need to write code, but talking to people who do shouldn’t scare you. • And you must be prepared for a fast-paced, virtual environment.

Requirements
