Social Media Fellow (January 2026)

Business Insider is hiring an audience fellow to distribute stories across various social networks.

Business Insider is for people who are driven optimistic and always looking forward. Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We tell our audience what they want and need to know to improve their lives and the world with storytelling that is accessible smart sometimes unexpected and always helpful. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insiders three core values: we are all one team we are effective and we strive to get better every day.

The Business Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions and by the end of six months they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. This paid role requires you to work for 40 hours a week. Fellowships can be hybrid and we expect New York-based fellows to come into our offices at least twice per week.

Applications will be accepted until November 7.
