Interested in impacting tens of millions of people’s lives each month? Are you a fast-moving, driven growth professional who dreams of working with a world-class team? How about someone who jumps out of bed every morning thinking about new channels to grow?If this sounds like you, read on.

The Hustle

The Hustle is a modern information company working to build a direct relationship with the 80M+ professionals in the US. Specifically, we’re starting with business news, information and analysis. 

We are completely changing how digital media brands build brand loyalty. You will help us get to where we need to go.

Here’s how it works

Each morning, we send our daily business news email, The Hustle Daily, to an incredibly large and loyal audience. And, at just over four years old, we’re one of the fastest growing media brands in the country.

While we currently monetize our audience through large advertising deals with brands like Microsoft and Salesforce, we're also launching subscription products and services for our audience of builders and tinkerers.

We launched Trends over a year ago, which delivers the latest market intelligence and analysis to a private community of business operators, investors and entrepreneurs.

It’s our belief that the next CNN, Fox, or NBC (what we want to become) will need a large, loyal audience, a voice that is trusted, and revenue that is diversified. This is what we are working towards.

The Hustle’s Core Values

Balance speed and quality. Speed is our advantage -- we have to be fast. We also have to provide quality information to our audience. It’s our job to balance this.

Be fearless. The world wants us to be vanilla -- we have to fight that. We can’t let fear hold us back from trying new things. Don’t be afraid to hire people more talented than yourself. Don’t be afraid to push boundaries.

Have no ego. No job is too small for anyone. Our own egos, preconceived ideas, or anything else can’t get in the way of serving our customers and team.

Have a capacity to perform at a high level. We value highly talented, intelligent, results-driven people who make the most of every opportunity.

Default to optimism. We value people who are inspiring to be around, have positive intentions, and think challenging obstacles are possible to overcome.

Growth mindset. We believe our talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others. We care more about learning and improving than looking smart.

Adventure and fulfillment. We do what we do so we have the ability to work on exciting things with people who we enjoy being around. We make money so we can keep living fun, healthy, exciting lives.
