Albuquerque Business First, the award-winning business news leader in Central New Mexico, is looking for an Editor in Chief.
The Editor in Chief, as the highest ranking newsroom leader, is responsible for driving product strategy and quality across all platforms and for relentlessly building audience. The editor must be equally at home in both the print and digital spheres — but leadership and innovation must be particularly pronounced on digital platforms. To be successful, the editor must possess well-honed hard news instincts, have a burning curiosity about business and people, a deft editing hand and be equal parts leader, entrepreneur and marketer.
Duties include:
- Define a clear and compelling vision for the look, feel and voice of our portfolio of products, including the existing print newspaper, daily emails, website, tablet and mobile.
- Drive staff adaptation to new mediums, platforms, skill sets, story forms, and ways of doing things.
- Take a proactive, hands-on approach in developing and leading reporting staff.
- Share responsibility for growing print, digital and event audiences. Work with other department heads to create business and marketing plans. In collaboration with the Publisher, identify and address new business and audience opportunities to extend the brand.
- Seek content syndication channels and partnerships for Business First’s content.
- Meet or exceed goals relating to audience-engagement.
- Embrace community and business outreach as an ambassador of Albuquerque Business First in the community.
