Do you love being the first to know what’s happening in business — and to share the news with others?
Then you might be Albuquerque Business First’s next Assistant Managing Editor. If you are, you’ll join a feisty, award-winning staff that’s breaking news, experimenting with new media and going all out to cover Albuquerque’s struggle to reinvent its economy.
You’ll get up early. It’ll be worth it.
The Assistant Managing Editor owns the execution of Albuquerque Business First’s Morning Edition email, an indispensable roundup of the things local businesspeople need to know to start a successful day. This person will craft timely, compelling stories for Morning Edition that grab the reader’s attention and don’t let go, driving engagement, growing audience and building the Business Journal brand online. The AME will help the rest of our news staff do the same. The job requires rock-solid news judgment, killer headline writing skills and being on intimate terms with SEO and site metrics. This person must balance the highest standards for content with ambitious traffic and engagement objectives.
The AME owns the execution of special features and projects that drive traffic and audience growth and help ABF meet its goals in those areas.
The AME owns the execution of our social media efforts, overseeing and producing exciting and engaging posts on ABF’s main social media accounts. The Assistant Managing Editor will also consult with staff, and coach, on social media account use and how to make the most of it. This editor will track metrics and measure engagement to help us constantly improve on social media.
In addition to editing staff- and user-generated content, the Assistant Managing Editor will curate, report and write posts and produce interactive features, galleries and other multimedia. The end result should be a rich and vibrant digital experience that engages and excites the Business Journal audience and inspires robust community interaction.
