Tangle is one of the fastest-growing independent politics publications in America. Every weekday, more than 500,000 readers turn to Tangle for a clearer understanding of the day's biggest political stories. Rather than telling people what to think, we present the strongest arguments from the left, right, and center so our readers can make up their own minds.
We've grown into a profitable, multi-million-dollar independent media company while staying true to our mission: building trust through thoughtful, transparent journalism. Our newsletter, podcast, YouTube and membership community continue to grow, and so does our advertising business.
Although our audience is large, our team is intentionally small. We operate as a startup — moving quickly, taking ownership, and constantly looking for better ways to build. Everyone on our team has the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across different departments, regardless of title.
We're looking for someone who wants more than just an account management job. We want someone excited to grow alongside the company, help shape how we work, and build lasting relationships with the brands that support our journalism. We believe in promoting from within, rewarding people who take initiative, and giving our team opportunities to grow as Tangle grows.
Location: Remote (U.S.)

• Help shape the future of one of America's fastest-growing independent media companies.
• Grow your career in an environment that values ownership, initiative, and curiosity.

The Role
We're looking for a Sponsorship Account Manager to own the day-to-day management of Tangle's sponsorship business while supporting its continued growth.
You'll be the primary point of contact for our advertising partners across both our newsletter and podcast, ensuring every campaign runs smoothly from initial inquiry through launch, reporting, and renewal. You'll coordinate creative assets, manage campaign logistics, work closely with our operations team, and deliver an exceptional experience that turns first-time advertisers into long-term partners.
You'll act as the bridge between advertisers and our internal team, ensuring expectations are aligned and campaigns are executed accurately from start to finish.
Beyond managing active campaigns, you'll support Tangle's growth by preparing sales materials, coordinating creative assets for audience growth partnerships, researching prospective advertisers, and assisting with light outbound outreach to brands and agencies that are a strong fit for Tangle.
