The Economist is seeking an audience editor to manage its portfolio of 22 newsletters, according to an article published in the magazine.  

The titles, 18 of which are exclusive to subscribers, include The War Room, Café Europa, Money Talks and Simply Science.

The magazine hopes the new permanent editor will join the five-person London team as soon as possible. 

“Candidates will have a strong understanding of publishers’ newsletter strategies, as voracious consumers of this form of journalism themselves,” the Economist writes.  

They also will be able to explain “how this format works as a driver of acquisition and retention and to create a sense of community,” it adds. “They may have used tools such as Salesforce Media Cloud and Parsely to produce newsletters and assess levels of performance and engagement.”
