Overview
live
in Houston—you’re firmly convinced it’s the center of the universe. Your civic pride is second only to your commitment to assigning, writing, and editing stories that inspire loyalty from locals and visitors alike. You have an impressive track record as a Texas-based writer and editor, with a stable of freelancers teeming with talent. You love nurturing new writers and inspiring the experienced to turn in their best work. You have an innate story sense—an ability to identify and position local stories of national importance, to deep-dive into data, and to figure out the hows and whys of hits and misses. You don’t just stick to words—video, podcasts, and social are all part of your vocabulary too.The ideal candidate is an editorial strategist with a deep understanding of digital operations and audience growth, but also the alchemy of combining service journalism, culture, commentary, and news into a single property with a well-articulated voice, tone, and POV. While the big picture excites you, you’re also willing to roll up the shirtsleeves and delve into project management, SEO, analytics, social, team cadence, training and development—all while ensuring your writers are turning out quality work. And while the site may be local, its backing is national, and unlike many jobs in journalism, you won’t be under-resourced.The Inside SkinnyWhy you should quit your job right now and join this organization!Because doesn’t every editor/writer want the opportunity to do fulfilling (and fun!) work on a daily basis? Because this is an incredible opportunity for the right person to make their mark. Because you welcome a challenge and are ready to share your vision with an audience hungry for content that respects them and challenges them at the same time.
