Job summary

The Dispatch is hiring a Commercial Operations Specialist to own the execution of our commercial partnerships. This is not a sales role.

Once a partnership is signed, you will own what comes next: campaign setup, workflow, delivery, reporting, and the day-to-day partner servicing that turns a first campaign into a renewal. Our commercial portfolio spans newsletter sponsorships, podcast advertising, SCOTUSblog, events, and more.

Qualifications

• One to two years in operations, campaign management, account coordination, project management, or a comparable detail-heavy role—ideally at a small or fast-moving organization.
• Genuine comfort with detail work; a meaningful share of this job is precise, repetitive, and mission-critical.
• Ability to hold many deadlines at once without dropping any, and to reset priorities when they shift.
• A proactive, solutions-oriented approach. You’ll work closely with our team, but you’ll be trusted to run your book without close supervision.
• Fluency with spreadsheets, and the ability to pick up new platforms quickly and on your own.
• A client-focused instinct; partners should come away feeling well served and return because of it.
• Familiarity with podcast advertising, digital advertising, or event sponsorship; hands-on experience with ad-serving, podcast-hosting, or campaign-management platforms.

Responsibilities

• Own the tracking systems that serve as the source of truth for active and upcoming campaigns.
• Maintain a live view of available inventory across our platforms, and flag conflicts early.
• Configure, launch, and quality-check campaigns in our advertising platforms.
• Monitor delivery, coordinating adjustments with internal teams and vendor partners.
• Turn partner talking points into clean, on-brand advertising copy, and manage it through review and approval.
• Review creative before it goes live for accuracy and brand-safety standards.
• Serve as the coordination point between partners, our internal team, and outside vendors.
• Monitor and evaluate partnership performance, providing regular insight and reporting to partners.
• Work with our finance team to reconcile campaign delivery against contracted commitments and prepare billing reports.
• Build post-campaign reporting that supports renewal conversations.
• Act as the primary contact for a defined book of partners, handling assets, timelines, logistics, approvals, scheduling, and wrap materials.
• Manage product and talent logistics for endorsement-based campaigns.
• Own and improve the processes, trackers, and tooling that keep all of the above running.
