Position description
Four years ago, we at Dutch investigative outlet Follow the Money started publishing articles on our English-language website ftm.eu. Since then, we’ve been publishing hard-hitting investigations every week.
Now, we want to take ftm.eu to the next level – and we are looking for someone to help us grow our audience and increase the impact of our journalism.
What you’ll be doing:
- You’ll help us grow our audience with creative ideas for social media platforms where we are already active, as well as beyond.
- You’ll be responsible for distributing the articles we publish on ftm.eu. You edit and send out our newsletters. You’ll make our stories stand out on various channels: LinkedIn, Instagram, and BlueSky.
- You’ll work closely with our editorial team in Amsterdam and Brussels. The working language within our international team is (mainly) English.
- Together with our Dutch social media and newsletter editors, you’ll be responsible for the distribution of our major international investigations. This includes drawing up a plan for distribution via social media, email, press releases, and push notifications. You’ll make sure that editors, photo editors, and others deliver their work on time.
- You’ll keep track of our social statistics and suggest improvements based on that data.
- You’ll be in charge of the homepage. In close collaboration with the editorial team, you’ll decide what stories to highlight and how to best present them to our audience.
