About the Role

The Wall Street Journal is seeking a Community Producer to build direct relationships with readers by shaping and executing community experiences, both on-platform and off. This role involves programming interactive Live Q&As, fostering reporter engagement in comments, and strategizing new ways to connect the audience with the newsroom, acting as an advocate to bridge the gap between newsroom and readers.

Responsibilities

  • Strategize and develop new community-building efforts that deepen reader loyalty and create active spaces for our audience to connect with our journalism and each other.
  • Help shift users from a "read-and-exit" behavior to a "read-and-discuss" habit by fostering robust conversations onsite, in off-platform channels, and directly in the inbox through our newsletters.
  • Program, host, and moderate Live Q&A sessions, collaborating directly with reporters across the newsroom to highlight their expertise and answer reader questions.
  • Lead proactive audience outreach initiatives and curate User-Generated Content (UGC) to ensure our readers' voices and experiences are reflected in our journalism.
  • Empower and train WSJ journalists to actively participate in the comments section, turning the reader experience into a relatable, conversational community.
  • Brainstorm, test, and launch new initiatives—such as small-scale, in-person events—designed to bring subscribers and journalists together and build real-world connections.
  • Monitor audience sentiment and engagement metrics in community spaces, leveraging new tools to make large volumes of reader feedback more accessible and actionable.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in audience engagement, community management, or digital journalism.
  • A proven track record of programming interactive digital events, such as Live Q&As or audience-driven discussions.
  • Strong editorial judgment and the ability to confidently moderate reader comments, ensuring a high-quality, civil discourse.
  • A passion for humanizing the news and helping reporters translate their deep expertise into direct, conversational interactions with readers.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a talent for collaborating across coverage desks to execute community projects.
  • A self-starter mentality and an eagerness to experiment with new ways to reward subscriber loyalty and build reader habits.
