  • Your work is anchored to the story, ensuring readers and their interests are at the forefront of our journalism from the beginning of the ideation process to publication.
  • You will collaborate with the Senior Audience Engagement Editors — who oversee off-platform and on-platform promotion — to determine what are the best channels to distribute a story.
  • You will write audience copy for these assigned distribution channels, like social media posts, newsletter blurbs, sending pitches to news aggregators and more, depending on the story.
  • You will attend weekly meetings with your assigned teams of reporters and their editors, strategizing alongside them on opportunities for social video, crowdsourcing, in-person engagement, and printed collateral and other ways to reach offline audiences.
  • You will provide training and coaching on SEO best practices in collaboration with the Director of Audience.
  • You will use analytics and data to bring meaningful, actionable insights for reporters and their editors on how a story performed and how to improve future coverage.

Who you are

  • You have three or more years of experience at a digital news site. Experience with working closely with reporters is strongly preferred.
  • You are a curious, organized person who thinks creatively about how to reach and engage new audiences. You are organized and are able to plan strategies for how best to reach these audiences and how to manage them within your workload.
  • You have deep experience with audience distribution tools, including but not limited to: social media platforms, SEO best practices, newsletters and email products, pitching to news aggregators and influencers, SMS texting lines, WhatsApp, news alerts and push notifications.
  • You also have a strong desire to deepen engagement with audiences, using tools like crowdsourcing and in-person events to bring readers into our journalism. Candidates with experience in reader callouts, in-person community events, printed collateral and other strategies for reaching off-line audiences are strongly encouraged to apply.
  • You have a flexible attitude that allows you to thrive at a digital startup that is a nonprofit newsroom at the same time.
  • You have a collaborative spirit, strong communication skills, ability to project manage and stay organized.
