Substack eyes Australia and New Zealand with first regional hire

Substack is making a move into Australia and New Zealand, searching for its first regional lead for the subscription-based editorial platform.

The US-founded company, which specialises in newsletter publishing, is advertising for a head of partnerships for Australia and New Zealand.

The role will primarily focus on “building awareness of the Substack brand” locally, but also includes hiring a local team, onboarding new writers or “influential creators,” and helping them “build successful subscription businesses and vibrant communities on Substack,” according to the job advertisement.
