DAILY TAR HEEL

Executive Director

The Daily Tar Heel seeks its next great professional leader. The
Executive Director of DTH Media Corp. develops a strategic plan and
oversees the editorial and business operations of the company,
working hand in hand with the organization's student leaders to
manage the day-to-day operations of the DTH while steering the
organization to a sustainable future.

The Daily Tar Heel has covered the UNC-Chapel Hill community for
131 years, training students and serving as a model for journalism
excellence and independent college media sustainability. DTH Media
Corp. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that has evolved from a newspaper to a
modern media organization, still producing a print product but also
covering news every day through its digital and social
channels.

The DTH spent the last few years transforming the way it makes
money, moving from dependence on print advertising revenue to a mix
of print and digital advertising, public support, and revenue from
its 1893 Brand Studio, a marketing services agency. The Brand
Studio, like every part of the DTH, is led by and staffed by
students. The Executive Director manages professional staff to help
guide and support the students, but ultimately allow them to make
decisions.

Our open-office environment is fast-paced and flexible, and
houses The Daily Tar Heel, 1893 Brand Studio and DTH business
operations. The professional staff work among talented UNC students
from these entities each day and enjoy proximity to UNC's campus
and Franklin Street businesses.

The Executive Director is asked to do many different things,
including but not limited to:
Determining
Strategy: Plan for the long-term success of the DTH in a
way that promotes its core mission, and communicate it to key
stakeholder groups.
Executing
Operations: The Executive Director must carry out the
organization's vision and set priorities, determining a budget and
managing cash flow, running the office day to day, and supervising
three professional staff members. That also includes project
management, shepherding news and revenue products from ideas to
reality.
Raising Money:
Fundraising, including grant writing, is now the largest single
piece of the DTH revenue puzzle. Fundraising has been a major
growth area for the DTH in recent years, and the Executive Director
needs to maintain existing campaigns while leading the next stage
of development.
Guiding Students:
Mentor student journalists, ad sales reps and creative staff.
Students should feel the Executive Director is their biggest fan
but someone who will tell them when they fall short and who can
direct them to other resources and support systems at the
university.
Building Community:
Form new relationships and nurture existing ones with our alumni,
important stakeholders in our community and other leaders in
student media. The Executive Director plans events, attends
conferences and community events, and represents DTH Media Corp. in
the public sphere.
Leading Media: The
DTH is a national leader in student media, and the Executive
Director provides continuity in leadership from year to year, while
staying on top of industry trends and applying those lessons to the
DTH.

The ideal candidate will have at least five years of experience
in media or equivalent experience in a dynamic profession,
including time managing people. Experience managing in a nonprofit
organization is strongly preferred. Familiarity with student media,
such as experience as an adviser or previous work at your college
newspaper, would be helpful. Experience working with college
students, either in a teaching or advising capacity, is also a
plus.

We welcome a diversity of backgrounds, so please tell us in your
application how your experience can apply to this role at the
DTH.

Minimum requirements
Bachelor's degree in journalism,
business or other relevant fields, or equivalent work/professional
experience
Relevant experience managing a team
with broad operational, revenue and/or fundraising
responsibilities
Proven skills in coaching, motivating
and promoting teamwork
Experience developing and executing a
fundraising strategy
Computer literacy/experience with
Microsoft Word, Excel and database management programs

Qualities required
Ability to articulate and execute the
future strategy and pathways of a college media organization
High ethical standards and desire to
work with college students
Strong leadership and listening
skills
Creative and strategic thinker with a
willingness to take calculated risks
Ability to receive and give
feedback
Ability to craft solutions quickly
based on needs assessments
Demonstrated record of success in a
goal-oriented, highly accountable environment
Excellent presentation, public
speaking and interpersonal communication skills
Ability to work well under pressure
of multiple deadlines and assignments

We're looking for a person who can get to work right away in our
Franklin Street office in Chapel Hill, N.C. We will accept
applications until May 30, but will begin interviewing candidates
immediately. So don't put it off.

Salary will be commensurate with experience; there are
opportunities for annual bonuses and professional growth. Medical
and dental benefits, parking, six weeks of vacation during student
breaks and a retirement plan are included.
