9 Workwhile Jobs Hiring in New York

About WorkWhile
Workwhile is not just a labor platform; we are the engine of the modern economy. We are looking for an ambitious, up-and-coming Corporate Communications Lead who wants to do more than just write press releases. We want a builder who envisions creating the "CNBC of Main Street."

Your goal is singular and bold: Turn Workwhile into the "Pulse of Labor."

When the media, policymakers, and the public want to know what is happening in the real economy-wages, shift demand, labor supply, and worker sentiment-they should turn to Workwhile first.

About the role
You will be the architect of our external narrative. You will bypass traditional corporate speak to build a media powerhouse that drives the conversation on the labor economy. You will take our raw assets-our massive worker data, our proprietary technology, and our academic partnerships-and weaponize them into compelling stories that dominate the news cycle.

What you'll do

• Build the "CNBC of Main Street": Develop and execute a content strategy that positions Workwhile as the primary source for labor market intelligence. Move beyond product announcements to publish "breaking news" on the state of the hourly workforce.

• Be the mouthpiece for Workwhile Econ Lab: Serve as the editor-in-chief of our internal data lab. Work closely with our data science team to extract trends (e.g., "Real-time wage inflation in logistics," "The impact of gig work on holiday supply chains") and package them into digestible, quotable reports for top-tier media.

• Manage Academic Relations: Leverage our relationships with leading labor professors and economists. Facilitate op-eds that lend academic rigor to our market observations.

• Humanize the Data: Use our large worker pool to find and tell powerful individual stories that put a face to the data. Connect reporters with workers who can speak to the realities of the modern economy.

• Newsjacking & Rapid Response: Monitor the news cycle relentlessly. When jobs reports, inflation data, or labor strikes hit the headlines, ensure Workwhile is immediately pitching a unique angle or data point to insert our brand into the coverage.

What we're looking for

• A Self-Starter with Hustle: You don't wait for permission or a fully formed brief. You see a trend in our data, you see a headline on Bloomberg, and you connect the dots immediately.

• A Storyteller at Heart: You understand that data is boring without a narrative. You can translate complex economic concepts into punchy, mainstream headlines.

• Media Savvy: You have existing relationships with business and tech reporters (or the fearlessness to build them from scratch). You understand what a producer at CNBC or a writer at the WSJ needs to make a story work. Be able to build relationships with major social media influencers

• Data Fluency: You aren't a data scientist, but you are data-literate. You know how to ask the right questions of a dataset to find the "hook."

• Ambition: You view this role as a stepping stone to becoming a Chief Communications Officer or a major voice in the industry.
