Communications Director

The Center for Public Integrity is undoubtedly great at investigative reporting. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, we partner with the biggest names in national media, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA TODAY, NBCnews.com and others.

But, unfortunately, we’re not so great — OK, we’re rotten — at selling ourselves.

To remedy this, we seek a visionary communicator to make the Center for Public Integrity’s journalism and journalists ever-more visible. This is a high-level management job that will report directly to the CEO.

Our dream candidate has boundless energy, saint-like patience and admirable social dexterity.

You talk with television and radio show producers as if they’re family.
You harbor a reservoir of ideas for videos and podcasts and promotions.
You have a superhero’s passion for righting wrongs, shining light into darkness and kicking the tails of those who abuse their power and betray the public trust.
Most importantly, you’re a conduit that helps amazing work reach diverse audiences hungry for meticulously reported, deep-dive journalism in an age when the very notion of what’s true and what’s fake is under assault.

If you’re that kind of communicator, we want to communicate with you.

Responsibilities

Understand the importance of a muscular, credible brand and help strengthen our identity as a leading investigative newsroom — whether through design, digital media or other creative channels.
Work with a booking agency to spread our experts in politics, campaign finance, environment, immigration, law enforcement, national security and government corruption all over radio and TV on major cable news networks and the Sunday shows.
Engage media writers, media critics and media thought-leaders so that they are intimately familiar with the Center for Public Integrity’s work, personalities and impact, and eager to write about it.
