● The professional application process for the 40-50 host news organizations RFA partners with.
● The corps training and mentorship strategies throughout the year.
● Overall communications and shaping the brand.
● Recruitment of both the news organizations and corps members.
● Working with shared services at the GroundTruth Project on budgeting, financial planning and fundraising.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE INCLUDE:

● Experience as a leader of a non-profit or service organization.
● Entrepreneurial skills and practical experience in both journalism and public service. (Ideally, journalism experience would include work in local news.

● Excellent management abilities, both down and up.

(We don’t expect the candidates to be rock stars in all of these skills but this is our ideal!)
