Careers

Bulletin News is growing fast and is always on the lookout for qualified individuals to help in our editorial, technology, and business operations. Below you will find a sample of the positions we are currently looking to fill.

• Director of Media Analysis
• Director of Business Development
• Director of Product Management
• News Analyst/Editor
• Senior Medical Writer

Bulletin News is a quiet leader in delivering customized business and political intelligence to a who's who of America's corporate, political and professional leaders. The key differentiator from our competitors is that Bulletin News uses expert human editors who read/watch all the relevant news and produce a concise daily briefing.

Bulletin News has recently launched a new analytics product that extends our service offerings by having those same expert editors score the "tone" of the news related to any topic the client specifies. This tonality data is married with additional measures (e.g. source reputation, audience reach, story length, placement, etc...) to produce an overall "impact" score. With daily graphs and charts showing the overall impact of media coverage, for that day and over a period of time, the service provides a client with leading indicators to emerging voter and consumer opinions. As is the case with the briefing services, the use of expert editors who actually read/watch the news, rather than computer algorithms, is a significant differentiator from other companies offering analytics services. We've shown our service is considerably more accurate.

The Director of Media Analysis will transition this emerging analytics product from an early version product to a core business offering. This highly quantitative and organized individual will work with the editorial and tech staffs to ensure accurate, consistent scoring and data capture; constantly develop and refine the logic and formulas that turn that qualitative information into data our clients can use to make informed decisions; stay up to date on the rapidly-changing media landscape to enhance our product offerings; and help the business development team explain the service to the market.

In addition to the media analysis product, the quantitative mind of this individual will be leveraged in other areas of our business.

IMPACT OF THE POSITION

This position offers a rare opportunity to join an established, profitable company that, recently backed by further investment capital, is in fast-growth mode. This means that while Bulletin News has the advantages of a stable company, the culture is more one of a startup with a lot of hard work, coupled with significant upside in compensation and equity. And with daily readers ranging from the President of United States to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, a certain satisfaction comes from having delivered the market's highest quality service to an exceptionally influential crowd.

REQUIREMENTS

As a "Director" level position, demonstrated experience in these areas is a requirement.

• Extremely quantitative with experience in statistical analysis
• Exceptional research skills and passion to remain current on the media space
• Experience designing and implementing rigorous quality control programs
• Effective communicator and natural teacher; able to explain complex quantitative material in layman's terms for use by editorial staff and clients
• News media background desired but not required. Specifically a strong understanding of the relative impact of various outlets in print, online and broadcast (both national and local)
• Comfortable working in fast-growing, rapidly-changing environment
• Self-directed but with strong management and organizational abilities
• Bachelor's Degree or higher
• Position is in Reston, VA (Washington, DC)
• Light travel required

• Customizing presentations, proposals and other sales documents.
• Gaining an in-depth understanding of what a given organization's highest-level executives need to know at the start of each day.

• Meeting quarterly and annual revenue targets.

Ideal candidate attributes:

• Experience working with senior-most corporate executives or high-level government officials, particularly in corporate communications, public affairs and media monitoring.

Our Directors of Product Management ("DPMs") essentially are "account and partnership managers on steroids," and are extremely important to, and visible within, the company.  They serve as (a) the face of the company to clients; (b) the "voice of the client" internally, ensuring that our editorial workers understand client needs; and (c) a key driver of our quality-control management system.  Due to continuing profitable growth, we are expanding the size of the DPM team.

Candidates and Responsibilities.  This is primarily a high, high-level service position, though our DPMs also help the company expand its relationships with clients and partners. Our DPMs routinely work with people who are a step or two away from some of the most powerful and influential people in the world. The ideal candidate will above all else be very bright and well rounded.  Extraordinary communication skills (written and verbal), attention to detail, and grace under pressure are a bare minimum.   

Responsibilities Include:

• Primary point of contact for clients' inquiries and problem resolution
• Review briefings and analysis to ensure consistent quality control
• Manage contract compliance and renewals
• Special research projects, both for clients and for management internally
• Contribute to editorial employee performance reviews
• Assist in product development and rollout to clients

Position Requirements:

• Proven organizational skills
• Quantitative approach to problem solving
• Excellent verbal/written communication, interpersonal and customer service skills
• A strong interest in the news media; direct experience a strong plus
• Accuracy and unfailing attention to detail
• Strong people management skills both in motivation and enforcement
• Computer and Internet proficiency
• BA/BS college degree or higher
