Job Description

Reporting to the Senior Director of our custom content studio, this role will behave a lot like a managing editor in a newsroom - maintaining editorial calendars; working with writers to develop story ideas; cultivating relationships with subject matter experts; and editing stories for substance, clarity, and style. This senior manager will serve as the assigning editor for FWD>DFW, the social responsibility platform built in partnership with The Dallas Morning News, as well as provide support on other TDMN brand extensions, such as Abode and Timeless in Texas; special advertising and editorial sections; and sponsored content on dallasnews.com.

While the senior manager will spend the majority of the time on the above, this person will also provide support on content marketing programs for other studio clients. A master multitasker, the ideal candidate has experience in both editorial and marketing.

The leader we seek is curious, driven, optimistic, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced culture where we win or lose as a team. We recognize that different perspectives and backgrounds drive the innovation and ideas that are essential to our business success, so we believe it is vital to our company and our clients to put diversity, equity, and inclusion at the core of all we do.

Here's our list of preferred skills and experience: (Please note this is not a checklist of requirements, but should be considered as a pool of preferred qualifications. If you can already do some of these things, great. If you're excited about figuring out how to do all of them, great! We would love to hear from you either way.)
  • Bachelor's degree in journalism, marketing, advertising, communications, or related field
  • 6+ years of experience in an editing role, preferably assigning stories in a newsroom-type environment
  • Command of the English language, with strong proofreading skills
  • Ability to adapt tone and style to suit the brand and audience
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfort using analytics to plan and optimize content
  • Knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO) best practices
  • Experience in both print and digital content production
  • Comfortable working in content management systems such as Arc (the CMS used by The Dallas Morning News) and WordPress, as well as project management systems such as Mavenlink and Asana
  • Ability to multitask and manage multiple projects
