    The Atlantic has, for more than 160 years, advanced ideas that matter and sparked global conversation on the most important issues of our time. We aim to bring clarity and original thinking to questions of consequence, on topics ranging from politics, the economy, and global affairs to technology, science, and culture. As the third-longest-running magazine in America, we find ourselves at a remarkable moment: one of both continuation and transformation, of upholding our legacy while continuously reinventing ourselves for the future.

    • Lead conversations with key internal partners to evaluate account performance, develop short and long-term strategies and discuss/act upon optimization opportunities.

    • Serve as a representative of The Atlantic brand in a positive, convincing, and enthusiastic manner.

    Qualifications:
