Reports to: Publisher, Worth Media Group
About Worth Media Group
At Worth Media Group, we explore and explain the forces at work in business, finance, technology, lifestyle, and impact. Founded in 1986 as a print magazine, Worth today fosters conversation amongst our influential community of thousands of executives, investors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. We gather in-person and in digital settings, creating connections between our partner brands and the Worth audiences that they want to reach.
Our events - summits, receptions, and custom experiences like partner dinners - bring our editorial point of view into the room, sparking substantive conversation and new connections.
Role Summary
Worth is looking for a Community Manager to build and sustain our audience across our live events, digital content and newsletter portfolio. This person will:
- Ensure that we define the various elements of the Worth Community that we want to attend a particular gathering;
- Support the leadership of Worth to invite relevant individuals from their professional networks to Worth events;
- Analyze the CRM to identify individuals for invitation to particular events; and
- Undertake outreach to individuals outside of the current Worth community to invite them to attend relevant convening.
This is a detail-obsessed role that sits at the intersection of editorial judgment, sales support, and event operations.
The successful candidate will build and manage guest lists from scratch, cultivate a growing community of high-value contacts, and act as the connective tissue between Worth's editorial priorities, sponsor commitments, and the in-person delegate experience.

On-Site Presence
