Earned Media Analyst

Stacker is revolutionizing the traditional newswire business model and the ways in which brand newsrooms and publishers connect. Our platform helps over 100 content contributors - brands, nonprofit newsrooms, and others - extend the reach of their content by seamlessly integrating with a network of thousands of trusted news publishers.

As a bootstrapped, fast-growing company, we're resourceful, innovative, and committed to building an inclusive, equitable culture. We are a remote-first team that values ownership, integrity, and collaboration—offering flexible schedules, unlimited vacation, an employee equity program, and full health & dental coverage. We champion long-term impact over short-term gains and believe in empowering our team with autonomy and opportunities for career growth.

The Earned Media Analyst helps connect the dots between content, performance, and client expectations. This role is part analyst, part strategist, and part translator; turning SEO signals and distribution data into clear, useful insights for both clients and internal teams.

You’ll work closely with Client Success, Editorial, Product, and Distribution, jumping in where needed and helping build systems, answers, and narratives as we grow. This is a great role for someone who enjoys problem-solving and wants real ownership in a fast-moving environment.

• Explain content and campaign performance in a way that actually makes sense to clients. Includes creating performance deliverables, joining calls, etc.

• Apply SEO and content strategy fundamentals to evaluate story topics, headlines, and distribution outcomes. Ideating content and analyzing results with a content distribution and GEO focus in mind

• Support client-facing teams by answering performance questions and contributing to reporting and insights

• Spot trends, anomalies, and opportunities across content performance and network benchmarks. Including building AI-assisted tools to do this for you more efficiently

• Collaborate across teams to improve tools, workflows, and how we talk about “value” for brand awareness and authority internally and externally

• Pitch in on ad-hoc projects as priorities shift
  

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds—whether from agencies, media startups, marketing analytics, journalism, or related fields—who bring fresh perspectives to our collaborative, remote-first team. You'll thrive in this role if you're analytically curious yet creatively practical, with a strong grasp of SEO fundamentals and content performance metrics that you leverage to evaluate topics, headlines, and distribution outcomes, directly enhancing client campaigns and brand authority. As a clear, confident communicator with a bias for action, you'll translate complex data into actionable insights and narratives for clients and internal teams, spotting trends or anomalies to inform strategies that boost reach across our publisher network. Your adaptability in fast-paced environments, eagerness to collaborate cross-functionally, and interest in building AI-assisted tools will help refine workflows, elevate how we demonstrate "value" in brand awareness, and drive sustainable growth for Stacker's innovative platform—all while owning meaningful projects in a supportive culture that empowers autonomy and long-term impact.
