About DDM Group
DDM Group is a digital media company with three properties: Atlanta Black Star, The Shadow League and Finurah. Over 14 years, DDM grew its audience to more than 20 million monthly users at peak entirely through organic distribution, without paid traffic. DDM has turned what it learned into a proprietary model of what captures an audience's attention and what moves people to change their behavior. We are now testing that model rigorously, and building it into an AI-powered service.
The role
You will own the evaluation of the model from raw data to verdict. You will build the dataset from 14 years of content and analytics (nearly 100,000 published articles on Atlanta Black Star alone, each with Google Analytics history), have AI models score the full archive, validate those scores against trained human raters on a sample, test whether those scores predict real audience behavior, and run live experiments on our properties. Your findings decide what we build and where we invest. We want an honest answer, including if the answer is no. If the model holds up, you will turn the evaluation pipeline into the core of the product: the scoring engine, the generator that proposes signals and plans, and the experiment and learning loop.
This is a remote contract role starting immediately. You will report to Neil Nelson, CEO, who owns the model, and work closely with our editorial team, whose producers serve as raters.
What you will do
Build the evaluation dataset: export story text and metadata from our WordPress sites, pull Google Analytics 4 data by traffic source, and recover older data from other sources where needed.
Design a balanced, representative sample, including stories that failed, not only the hits.
Run the scoring: set up blind rating, train and calibrate human raters with the editorial lead, measure how well raters agree, and write and validate the prompts for AI raters against human judgment.
Test the model: fit weights on one part of the data and validate them on data held back; compare alternative ways of combining scores; control for distribution effects such as platform algorithm changes and traffic source.
Test early-warning indicators on historical audience data.
Design, size and analyze live A/B tests on our properties.
Keep a clean, reproducible record of every dataset, decision, score, prediction and result.
Report findings plainly to the CEO, against success criteria agreed before the analysis begins.

Tips for Your Remote Audience Development Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote audience development manager openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Remote postings at distributed media and tech companies fill fast, so applying within the first few days gives you a real advantage.
Show async communication skills up front
Remote audience development managers coordinate with editorial, product, and marketing teams entirely through written channels. Use your cover letter and work samples to demonstrate clear, concise written communication, as this is one of the first things remote hiring managers screen for in distributed roles.
Build a portfolio of measurable audience growth
Remote employers want proof you can drive results independently. Document specific outcomes from past SEO, email, social, or referral work, including percentage growth in subscribers, organic traffic lifts, or open rate improvements. Numbers make remote candidates credible without an in-person presence.
Target remote-first digital media and subscription brands
Remote audience development manager roles concentrate at companies built around distributed teams, including newsletter publishers, podcast networks, digital content studios, and subscription platforms. These employers already have the remote infrastructure and are more likely to have recurring openings than traditional media companies.
Remote Audience Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote audience development manager job?
Start by targeting remote-first digital publishers, newsletter companies, podcast networks, and subscription media brands, as these organizations are most likely to hire audience development managers on distributed teams. Remote employers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and hands-on experience with SEO, email growth, social distribution, or analytics platforms. A portfolio of measurable audience growth wins, even from freelance or contract work, gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote audience development managers?
Remote audience development manager roles are posted by LocaliQ, DDM, and Zeta Global and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These employers tend to be remote-first digital media companies, distributed content brands, and subscription-focused platforms that build audience strategy into their core operations.
Can you get a remote audience development manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry roles in audience development are competitive because employers expect you to manage SEO, email, and analytics workflows independently from day one. Your strongest path in is through digital media startups, newsletter companies, or content-driven tech platforms that hire junior roles remotely. Show a personal newsletter, a social growth project, or freelance content distribution work to demonstrate you can operate without close supervision.
Do you need a degree for remote audience development manager jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in digital media and publishing care more about demonstrated results with audience growth, SEO, or email engagement than a specific credential. A portfolio showing real distribution wins, platform expertise, and data-driven decisions carries more weight than a degree alone. Some employers list a bachelor's in journalism, marketing, or communications as preferred, but it rarely functions as a hard requirement.
