The posting

Founding Audience Developer Editorial creator and community builder

Helsingin Sanomat is exploring new ways to make Finnish news more accessible, relevant and engaging for international residents in Finland, especially those who prefer to follow news in English or Easy Finnish.

We're combining journalism, audience insight, AI-supported tools and product development to find out what international residents want and need from Finnish news. We'll test ideas, content and formats with the people they're meant for from the start.

We're looking for a Founding Audience Developer to join us at this early stage. You'll create and present engaging journalism, become a recognisable face and voice of the project, and connect with international communities.

This is a hands-on role for someone passionate about journalism, storytelling and connecting with people. You'll primarily adapt Helsingin Sanomat's reporting into accessible, platform-native content while occasionally creating original, source-based explainers. All content will follow Helsingin Sanomat's journalistic standards.

What you'll do

  • Create and present: Turn Finnish news into compelling short-form videos, audio clips, social posts and explainers. Appear on camera and develop your own presentation style.
  • Explain the news: Read Finnish-language journalism, identify what matters and explain it accurately and clearly for international audiences, adding context that Finnish news coverage may take for granted.
  • Build an audience: Develop channels and relationships with international communities in Finland, listen to their questions and learn what earns attention and trust.
  • Experiment and learn: Test new formats, tools and ideas, using feedback and analytics to identify what audiences value.

What we're looking for

You're a curious, creative and self-directed storyteller with sound editorial judgement and a collaborative approach.

You should have:

  • Experience creating content about news or current affairs, with a solid grasp of sourcing, accuracy and verification.
  • Confidence on camera and behind a microphone, with hands-on content production skills.
  • Excellent spoken and written English, and Finnish reading comprehension strong enough to work accurately from source material. English does not need to be your first language.
  • The ability to explain complex topics clearly without losing essential facts, context or uncertainty.
  • An understanding of international communities in Finland, and a willingness to experiment and learn from audience feedback.

You don't need a journalism degree or an existing following. What matters is your editorial judgement and ability to connect with people.

What success looks like

By the end of the first six months, the project should have a distinctive editorial voice, a set of tested formats and genuine relationships with international communities.

The insights generated will guide what we build next and how we make it useful, engaging and trustworthy.

What we offer

You'll join a small multidisciplinary team spanning editorial, product, design and technology. Your work will shape how we engage audiences and where the project goes next. You'll have access to Helsingin Sanomat's journalism and editorial expertise, with practical support available as needed.

This is a full-time, six-month fixed-term role at Helsingin Sanomat. Your manager will be Kalle Jokinen, and you'll work closely with the Founding Editorial Lead and the wider team.

If the project progresses successfully and there is a mutual fit, there may be an opportunity to extend the role or move to permanent employment.

The preferred start date is as soon as possible, by agreement. The team is based at Sanomatalo in Helsinki. We work together regularly in the office while supporting a practical hybrid model.

How to apply Please send your CV or LinkedIn profile and links to two or three relevant examples of content, channels or communities you have built or contributed to. Existing examples are preferred, and no separate pre-assignment is required at the application stage.

If you don't have an existing on-camera example, you're welcome to include a 60-second phone video in English. Production polish is not expected, and preparation should take no more than 30 minutes.

Applications close on Sunday 8 November 2026. Apply as soon as possible, as we will begin interviewing candidates during the application period.

If we’re unable to answer your call, please send us a text message and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
