Dallas Biz Journal seeks a digital producer

The Dallas Business Journal seeks a journalist who wants to thrive in a breaking news environment.

Responsible for the day-to-day management of social media and daily newsletters, the digital producer curates, edits, reports and writes posts – as well as produce interactive features and galleries – that are timely, compelling and drive audience engagement.

The digital producer is also responsible for assisting with plans for editorial events, with a focus on the long-tail effect of content that drives engagement for events across all platforms.

The job requires solid news judgment, strong editing and writing skills, plus familiarity with SEO and website analytics. To succeed in this role, the digital producer must balance the highest standards for content with ambitious traffic and engagement objectives.

In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, plus the opportunity to advance your career. We employ a hybrid setup that includes two work-from-home days selected by the employee. And, unlike other newspapers in Dallas-Fort Worth, the Business Journal doesn’t charge our journalists monthly fees to park at our brand-new office in Uptown.
