At The Infatuation, we’re on a mission to create the most trustworthy and useful restaurant recommendation platform. We serve our users by creating content that provides both utility and entertainment and we package it all up in delightful digital products.
In October 2021, The Infatuation was acquired by JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S. The acquisition affords us the backing of a major institution, as well as the distribution for The Infatuation to become a household name. With these new resources we are growing quickly, with the goal of reaching a more expansive and diverse audience.
Now, we’re hiring a Newsletter Strategist to conceptualize, write, and publish newsletters for a number of our full-time markets, including NYC. In this role, you’ll work closely with local editorial teams as you lead the production of 4+ newsletters per city per week, making data informed decisions to increase clicks, subscribers, and engagement. While the Newsletter Strategist’s primary focus will be on the weekly newsletter schedule, they may also be asked to contribute strategic thinking on new concepts and formats as we continue to grow our newsletter program.
