Willamette Week is looking for a new web editor.
It's a big job, with a diverse array of duties, ranging from managing social media, to reporting blog posts to developing best practices for SEO to editing video to compiling web traffic reports.
WW has one of America's best small newsrooms—we're a locally owned, Pulitzer-winning alt-weekly that routinely breaks huge stories and helps set the agenda for the city's culture scene.
Over the last five years, we've also built a robust digital footprint. Our traffic and engagement is now among the best in our industry, and we're looking to continue that steady growth.
You need to understand our voice (smart, fearless, edgy) and believe in our mission (to both speak truth to power and build community) while also nailing down the details.
The successful candidate will be comfortable walking an old newshound through embedding tweets from a contentious water board meeting, then edit a new intern's art review and pen the perfect tease for the swimming hole listicle that's going to melt our server. You need an eye for photography, an ear for quotes and the ability to parse analytics to determine once and for all what's the best time to share our weekend events roundup. It'd be nice if you knew a little code, too, since we have a best-in-class CMS that's capable of doing more than we've been able to do with it.
We greatly value diversity.
