Join our team at the Guardian and be a part of a diverse and inclusive global organisation that delivers fearless, investigative journalism, and holds power to account. Our team of award-winning journalists, cutting-edge commercial professionals, and industry-leading digital experts are committed to making a difference and represent a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. We offer a challenging and exciting environment for career development, with a focus on training, growth and fostering an inclusive culture.
We’re looking for a head of community engagement to oversee the development of new strands of audience-led interaction on- and off-platform in order to build and nurture engaged and growing communities around our journalism and our journalists.
Community engagement is creating and improving the space for our audiences to speak directly to the Guardian and to each other.
You’ll work closely with UK, US and Australia editorial teams and manage our existing moderation team to build a playbook for what engaged Guardian communities look like – the role is pivotal in deepening our journalist-audience relationships.
This is a permanent NUJ contract.
