ProPublica is seeking a senior editor for audience and engagement to lead our efforts to make readers and communities a central part of how we do accountability journalism. Engaging readers in all aspects of our reporting has been at the heart of our work since our earliest days, in groundbreaking projects like Free the Files and the Segregation Now “Six Words” collaboration. We have carried this approach into our recent work on crowd-powered news, from our Agent Orange initiative to the Voices of Patient Harm.
We want you to lead us to do even more.
Understanding audience and community engagement are critical to our future as an organization, from the way we report and tell stories to the impact that work has in the world to engaging our audience to support our work, financially and otherwise.
This is a senior position. You will lead a team that works closely with the entire organization, laying out a vision and bringing the skills to implement it. This job is based in New York.
We’re looking for someone who has…
• A significant track record of innovating around engaging readers, before, during and after the reporting process.
• Experience identifying key metrics, analyzing data, and communicating insights.
• Demonstrated enthusiasm for collaboration; specifically, working across teams to identify opportunities, resources, and/or the potential for collaborative projects to develop.
