Editorial Partnerships Director - Storyful Newswire (B2B)
Storyful is the world's social media intelligence agency. Founded by Irish journalists as the first social media newswire, Storyful was created out of the need to break the news faster and utilize social content to add context to reporting. Acquired by News Corp in 2013, Storyful has evolved into a premium service for media, brands and communications. We are the leaders in social media contextualization and verification. We believe social media is the key to a deeper understanding of global events and cultural phenomena. Our goal is to help our partners understand the attitudes, behaviors and emotions behind the conversations and movements shaping the world. Powered by a unique ability to gather and streamline data from all corners of an increasingly complex media landscape, our team of journalists and researchers deliver clarity in a world of confusion. Our mission is to dig deeper into the nuance inherent in social media to establish context, verify the truth and, ultimately, to help our partners make sense of the world.

You will conduct regular check-ins, performance reviews, and strategic planning sessions with clients to ensure alignment and satisfaction. What We're Looking For
- 10+ years in a client-facing role within a media, publishing, or digital content environment (customer success, account management, or editorial strategy roles preferred) - Strong editorial instinct with an understanding of what makes compelling, valuable, and newsworthy content - Analytical mindset - demonstrated experience in leveraging and interpreting usage data, identifying trends, and using insights to drive action - Deep understanding of newsroom workflows and the challenges faced by modern publishers and broadcasters - Excellent communicator with the ability to build trust and influence at all levels of a client organization - Collaborative spirit with experience working cross-functionally to deliver on client needs and surface growth opportunities Preferred Qualifications
