We are growing! We’re hiring an Audience Manager to join our leadership team based in-person in Omaha. Keep reading to learn more and apply.
The Nebraska Journalism Trust is looking for someone to grow and serve our audience at Flatwater Free Press and Silicon Prairie News. This role will be responsible for social media, paid advertising, earned advertising, events and outreach. The right candidate will be comfortable crafting strategies related to journalism, marketing and engagement — ideally for multiple brands or a portfolio.
Is this you?
Your primary charge will be to broaden and deepen the audience for NJT programs and affiliated newsrooms so that more Nebraskans have access to meaningful local journalism. You’ll work across our organization and play a pivotal role in designing and implementing strategies that shape how we serve more Nebraskans and engage loyal readers in supporting and sustaining local news that matters.
This leadership position will find new and creative ways to reach and engage Nebraskans in our work, with a focus on communities that have been traditionally under or ill-served by Nebraska journalism. This is a great opportunity for someone who is a team player and gifted communicator. Someone who can both conceive of and operationalize strategies — someone who knows when to iterate to improve an approach vs. wiping the slate to start clean.
