The dispatch

Community Manager

Washington, DC Part Time
About The Dispatch
The Dispatch is a digital media company providing fact-based reporting and commentary on politics, policy, and culture—informed by conservative principles. Founded in 2019, we’ve built a community of 45,000 paying members who value intellectual honesty, reasoned debate, and commitment to first principles over partisan tribalism. We’re looking to grow to 100,000 members and beyond, and looking for someone to help us deepen engagement and build real-world community among our subscribers.

About This Role
We’re launching Dispatch Juntos—a member-led initiative that transforms our subscriber base into a network of local communities meeting regularly across the country. This is our most ambitious community-building effort to date, and we need someone to own it from pilot through scale.

As our Community Manager, you’ll coordinate the launch and growth of Dispatch Juntos nationwide, support member-led organizing efforts, plan official Dispatch events in partnership with our editorial team, and build the infrastructure for sustainable community engagement. You’ll be the primary relationship owner with our most engaged members and the voice of our community internally.

This role reports to the Editorial Partnerships Manager and works closely with our editorial, business, and multimedia teams. You’ll have significant autonomy to shape how The Dispatch shows up in members’ lives beyond our newsletters and podcasts.
