Since its founding in 1953, The Paris Review, the nation’s preeminent literary quarterly, has published the best new literature. The Review also has a robust online presence, which includes The Paris Review Daily, a complete digital archive, and a store selling subscriptions and merchandise. We publish three popular newsletters, put out venerated anthologies and a much-lauded podcast, host events, and occasionally make videos. It is a particularly exciting moment for the Review as, following a print redesign last year, we are now embarking on a digital relaunch.

The digital manager will have the expertise and ingenuity to oversee the projects and platforms that the Review depends on to attract new readers and to delight the ones we already have. Acting as the project manager for the development and relaunch of the Review’s website, the digital manager will explore emerging technologies, gather and interpret data, work with web developers and designers, and keep track of best practices for publishing, audience development, and growth.

• Acting as the Review’s IT department, troubleshooting web and computing issues as they arise with the assistance of consultants; maintaining data-management and communications accounts as well as all other technical accounts
• Gathering digital-marketing and traffic data to track engagement, and distilling findings into actionable strategies
• Project managing the digital relaunch of the Review, working closely with the editors and with web developers to create an innovative, intuitive, and singular online presence
