You will help steer a team in developing content strategy for a newsroom focused on creating distinctive journalism that engages subscribers and attracts new audiences. You’ll serve as both a catalyst for cultural transformation—fostering new ways of thinking and doing things—and a translator of actionable insights to infuse audience‑first thinking into coverage.

Lead and mentor a high‑performing team of audience strategists and editors. Cultivate a culture of experimentation, data‑driven decision‑making and cross‑functional collaboration, including coverage, audience development, operations, product and marketing. Translate newsroom priorities into clear, measurable content strategies. Champion analytics across the newsroom and turn audience data into actionable insights. Present to senior leaders and share learnings broadly to inform coverage. Launch and shepherd deep-dive content analyses that shape and plan coverage, and answer strategic questions about and beyond coverage. Anticipate emerging news trends and innovate story formats—text, live blogs, visuals, video, podcasts and other mediums—to maximize impact and keep our coverage ahead of the curve. Relentlessly advocate for the needs of our audiences. You have:
10+ years of experience in digital newsrooms with expertise in editorial strategy and some combination of audience development, analytics, reporting and editing, video and audio, production, or project management. Proven ability to lead teams that achieve substantial audience growth and boost subscriber engagement. Exceptional analytical skills—adept at extracting insights from data, crafting clear narratives for news leaders, and recommending actionable solutions. Expertise with web analytics tools; SQL, Python, or other data‑analysis languages are a plus. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with a talent for influencing senior stakeholders and driving cross‑departmental alignment. Demonstrated success in building trust, collaborating effectively, and forging consensus across teams. Deep understanding of and passion for the competitive digital‑news media landscape. Self‑starter comfortable identifying challenges and opportunities, with the drive to develop and implement solutions. To apply, please submit a resume.
