At a time of growing industry uncertainty and an alarming erosion of civic discourse, The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue, and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective—we’re right-of-center—but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism. Started in 2019 by Steve Hayes, the editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard, and Jonah Goldberg, editor at National Review, The Dispatch has filled a valuable gap in the media ecosystem, as captured by articles in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and other publications.
Overview
The Dispatch is seeking a Partnership Development Manager to support revenue growth by assisting both the sales development and account management teams in identifying prospects, managing campaign delivery, and ensuring client success. This hybrid role is ideal for someone early in their career—particularly with 1–3 years of experience at a modern digital media company—who is looking to deepen their skills in media partnerships, campaign execution, and client services. The Partnership Development Manager will play a key role in helping The Dispatch expand its portfolio of sponsors, streamline campaign operations, and drive partner retention.
About the Role
We’re looking for a high-agency, detail-oriented Partnership Development Manager to support our growing portfolio of advertising and sponsorship partners. This hybrid role blends Sales Development and Account Management responsibilities—ideal for a rising star with 1–3 years of experience at a fast-moving digital media company (think: Axios, POLITICO, Puck) who’s eager to build client relationships and drive revenue performance. The right candidate will help us scale both prospecting efforts and campaign execution, with a clear path to specialize over time.
