Description
The Senior Revenue Growth Specialist will play a key role in leading revenue growth strategies for Hub clients. This role focuses on helping news organizations diversify and expand revenue streams, including membership, major gifts, corporate philanthropy, advertising, sponsorships, events and other emerging income sources. A strong foundation in membership and an understanding of how membership strategy and success shapes major donor, advertising, sponsorship and philanthropic revenue streams is essential.
This is both a strategic and execution role, working closely with the V.P. of Consulting and talented members of the News Revenue Hub staff. We’re interested in meeting candidates with a range of experiences and backgrounds if you have a track record of driving revenue growth for organizations in one or more lines of business.
