• Collaborate with the Hearst Gives Back team to help develop and support volunteer initiatives aligned with the causes colleagues care about, strengthening impact and fostering a culture of purpose and connection.
• Balance multiple projects simultaneously while remaining flexible and adaptable as priorities evolve.

Qualifications

• A strong interest in media and lifestyle trends, paired with thoughtful research and curiosity-driven problem-solving.
• A high level of organization and attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership over deadlines and follow-through.
• Clear and confident communication, with strong interpersonal and presentation skills.
