SABEW seeks an executive director

The Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW), the world’s largest association of financial journalists, seeks an executive director who has nonprofit management experience and an appreciation of business journalism.

We’re looking for a leader who can take our 60-year-old organization to the next level. SABEW is an independent, nonprofit organization that advocates for business journalism around the world and provides support to nearly 4,000 journalists along with writers and editors in related industries.

The executive director will supervise a small, remote staff and will be responsible for all aspects of SABEW operations. The director will work closely with SABEW’s board of governors, officers and executive committee to implement an annual conference and other training opportunities, administer an annual journalism contest, manage the budget, serve as an ambassador to the industry, and help the organization grow its financial resources to support ongoing activities.

The ideal candidate will be capable of helping the organization think strategically and ambitiously about its future, while also effectively managing day-to-day operations.
