Does this sound like you?
You’re smart, driven, quick-thinking, resourceful, full of energy and have a deep passion for what you do. You've got goals. You're (extremely) competitive and want to win. All the time. You know how to tell a story across every digital and social platform—even the ones that haven’t been invented yet. You're a proven, compassionate leader who motivates others to make a real difference. Your journalistic standards are high, and so is the bar you set for your team. You're obsessed with quality and serving the audience in the best possible way. You pivot quickly and keep your cool when things get tough. You can coordinate with different contributors across multiple time zones, but there's nothing you love more supporting your team—and you celebrate their wins in victorious fashion. The powerhouse leader we're looking for is a self-proclaimed news junkie, knows digital platforms inside and out, and has a track record of taking teams to new heights. If that’s you, we can't wait to meet you!
