• Paid parental leave 
• Annual growth and development reviews
• Training and mentorship

The actual salary offered is commensurate with talent and experience. 

For consideration, please email your resume to jobs@patch.com.

Patch serves our communities by providing trustworthy local journalism, covering the most important issues, and celebrating the people and stories that make each town unique. Patch favors talent, drive, diversity and capacity to grow over credentials and homogeneity.
