Washington, United States American Journalism Project Full time

We believe a trusted source of verified information forms the connective tissue that brings communities together, facilitates collaboration, and is critical for developing thriving, civically-engaged communities. The American Journalism Project aims to catalyze a movement of nonprofit local news enterprises that rallies our country’s next generation of social entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and community leaders around this vital cause. We encourage all people who are passionate about the mission and the work and have the requisite skills and knowledge to apply.

**Who we are**:
We’re a small but entrepreneurial team working to re-shape the future of local news in our country. We’re passionate about journalism, civic engagement, and how local news plays a unique role in shaping our democracy. We help build and grow sustainable local news organizations all over the country — through financial investment, venture support, and movement building — that are governed by, sustained by, and look like the public they serve.

AJP has raised over $175 million for the cause so far, and aims to catalyze enough investment in nonprofit local news to create a $2 billion sector by 2040, full of thriving, equitable, public service-oriented newsrooms that increase civic engagement and make communities work better for their residents.

Our team is deeply connected to our mission and supportive of each others’ goals and overall well-being. We aim to be an organization where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued. We are an entirely remote, distributed team and strive to maintain a healthy, fun, and productive workplace, working alongside smart, energetic colleagues who enjoy one another and the work.

**Our values**:

- _Local First: _We know that local journalism must serve and be led by local communities. We make a practice of listening to, and making decisions with - not for - those communities, and connecting them to find strength in each other.
- _Bold Leadership:_ We understand the severe economic challenge facing local news and thus democracy, and we embrace a sense of possibility with courage, urgency, and perseverance.
- _Constant Learning: _We recognize the unknown in front of us. Therefore, we operate with humility and a commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration.
- _Commitment to Equity: _We commit to creating a better, more diverse, and more inclusive news media that advances human and civil rights. We actively fight against injustice and racism, and that starts with doing the work ourselves.
- _Integrity:_ We accept the responsibility of earning trust every day. We operate with honesty, transparency, dignity, and respect, and without allegiance to party, ideology, profit, or power.

**Your team**:
The Head of Emerging Markets will have a leadership position on AJP’s program team. Led by AJP’s Chief Investment Officer, the program team works with philanthropists and nonprofit news leaders to advance a thriving, sustainable local news field. You can read a more detailed overview of our program areas in this blog post written by our CEO a year ago to help explain our program workstreams.

The Head of Emerging Markets will report to the Chief Investment Officer and oversee a team of 1-2 staff members and numerous retained consultants, and will work closely with our VP of Local Partnerships and our Startup Studio team. The Head of Emerging Markets will also draw on support from and collaborate with numerous teams across our organization.

This role will also collaborate on a continuous basis with our local philanthropic partners as well as the management teams of the startups in our incubation program.

**Compensation & benefits**:
Our total compensation package is competitive in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, and we are committed to supporting our team with what they need to show up every day ready to bolster the local press our democracy deserves.

We benchmark our salaries against similar organizations, and use a scale that considers job complexity and magnitude of responsibility to determine role levels and corresponding base salaries, as well as offering regular opportunities for salary increases. The salary range for this position is $189,520 - $208,472.

**Impact of the role**:
**The position**:
The Head of Emerging Markets will serve as the leader of our Local Philanthropy Partnerships program, which specializes in conducting market assessments that involve community listening programs to determine information needs, ecosystem analyses to understand the trajectory of local news coverage, and market research to determine the potential for financial support of local journalism. We speak with thousands of local residents as part of our market assessment. We then propose creative solutions based on our findings, which sometimes involves conceptualizing a startup newsroom to serve that market as well as proposing philanthropic investment in existing media.
