Digital Managing Editor - Hudson Valley, NY

This is a Full-time in-office position working closely and collaboratively with a Team.

Are you a passionate content creator with exceptional writing and editing expertise? Are you digital savvy with social media skills to match? If so, then keep reading!

We are a diversified media company looking for someone to oversee and maintain the digital platforms for our radio brands in the Hudson Valley area. With a maniacal focus on consumer experience, this individual will work closely with our on-air talent to develop content for their shows, grow their brands online, and create the best possible experience for their audience across all platforms.

Do you bore easily? Not here. No two days are ever the same at Townsquare Media. As the Digital Managing Editor, one minute you’ll be editing an article about the ten best burgers in town, the next you’ll be implementing a new Facebook strategy, only to close out the day by teaching a DJ how to craft an SEO-friendly headline that drives traffic to the brand’s website.

This is an agile position that requires solid troubleshooting, good professional judgment, level-10 communication, and technical prowess. Patience is essential, as is a great sense of humor – this is radio after all, not a library! (Not that there’s anything wrong with libraries. We love libraries. Seriously. They’re the best.) This is not a typical “webmaster” position.

Responsibilities

• Partner with teams of on-air and digital talent to create text, photo, video, and interactive content for the local community across the site, mobile platforms, and social media. Work to make sure those great ideas are harnessed online.
• Provide consistent training, coaching, and education for our on-air and digital talent on the latest internet trends (ex: Facebook posting strategy or strategies for search engine optimization) and educate staff on company policies (ex: copyright law and digital requirements).
• Coordinate with local sales and content teams to make sure that all station and market initiatives have an engaging digital component.
• Study analytics to make data-driven content choices and optimize local digital strategy.
• Be at the forefront of content creation every single day.

Qualifications

• Five years of online editorial experience with exceptional writing, editing, SEO skills.
• Strong grasp of how to use popular social media networks (like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube) to promote content.
• Must be a consummate multi-tasker (with excellent communication skills) who is understanding of the ever-changing culture of the internet.
• Ability to prioritize and focus under fast-paced pressure while managing multiple tasks and projects.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, editorially and technologically.
• Proficiency in the use of digital technology, including online publishing platforms.
• An understanding of the ever-changing culture of the internet.
• Must have great communication skills, obsessive attention to detail, and a sense of humor (We like to have fun!).

Benefits

• 3 weeks of PTO (+ 9 paid holidays)
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) Retirement Plan
• Casual, high-energy work environment
• Opportunity for upward mobility
• Company provided laptop
• Competitive salary + bonus program
• Company discounts
• Pet Insurance
• Time off for volunteering
• And much more…

Pay Range: $50,000 - $55,000
