About Storyful
Storyful, a News Corp company, is a global leader in social media news and intelligence reporting. We harness data from across the digital and social media landscape to provide trusted, cross-platform content and context in a complex online information environment.
About Storyful Intelligence
Storyful Intelligence partners with global brands, agencies, and organizations to deliver strategic intelligence rooted in social and digital media analysis. Combining technology, social intelligence, and human expertise, we help clients understand the narratives, reputation risks, misinformation, stakeholder dynamics, and online conversations shaping public perception and influence. Our work sits at the intersection of communications, strategy, research, and digital intelligence.
Job Summary
This role will play an instrumental role in developing and delivering decision-grade intelligence for Storyful’s clients. Drawing on strong qualitative research expertise, strategic judgment, and digital intelligence capabilities, you will translate complex online conversations, media narratives, cultural dynamics, and reputational signals into clear strategic guidance for communications and business leaders.
You will work across fast-moving and often ambiguous information environments, helping clients understand emerging narratives, reputational risk, stakeholder dynamics, misinformation, and the structural dynamics shaping public perception, influence, and trust.

Strong qualitative research and analytical capabilities, including the ability to synthesize insights across disparate digital, cultural, media, and behavioral signals
Strong intellectual curiosity and interest in digital culture, online communities, media ecosystems, reputation, influence, and emerging technologies
Deep interest in media, communications, digital culture, influence ecosystems, online communities, and the evolving relationship between technology, information, and public trust
Experience delivering strategic insights and recommendations for communications, reputation, marketing, policy, media, or business decision-making contexts
Exceptional written, verbal, and storytelling skills, with the ability to structure complex findings into clear, compelling, and decision-relevant narratives
