Job Description:

MinnPost is hiring an audience editor, a key leadership position that will manage and direct audience development efforts across the organization.

This position will lead new investments in MinnPost’s audience strategy as we navigate the ever-changing digital media environment, using audience data to craft and execute engagement strategies that includes – but goes well beyond – growing website and newsletter audiences. That growth must be paired with stronger and more meaningful connections with readers, demonstrating that journalism is an essential source of information that equips people to be civically engaged through everything from voting to participating in public discourse to identifying and pursuing solutions that make state and local systems work better. 

At MinnPost, we aim to serve people seeking analysis, context and perspective on news affecting our state through in-depth and explanatory journalism. We’ve grown our newsletter audience by more than 50% in the past two years and have new audience research in hand to help inform decisions to further that growth. We’re also looking forward to making new investments that will grow our newsroom starting in 2025. 

The audience editor will play an important role in shaping how to deepen audience relationships and leverage that additional coverage to better serve even more Minnesotans. We’re looking for someone who is entrepreneurial, a great collaborator, and is driven by our shared belief that rigorous, in-depth journalism that inspires and engages communities across the state is crucial to a strong democracy.

Benefits

While we’re more mature than a start-up, we’re often called to wear many hats and jump in to help each other when the situation calls for it. We’re committed to maintaining a healthy work-life balance and providing a place for staff to feel supported in their professional growth and achieve ambitious goals.
