Responsibilities include managing distribution and scheduling for the social media accounts of our thought leaders, developing social media strategies with our thought leaders and the larger audience development team, responding to thought leader feedback, and developing and managing content partnerships with other online communities and media sites. In addition to the core role, all of our managers also contribute to strategic projects throughout the company, from revenue to operations to recruiting new writers and thinkers to work with.
