Description:

New Hampshire Public Radio is looking for a curious, creative curator of local news to join our team as an Audience Engagement Producer, with a focus on newsletters and the NHPR mobile app.

In this role, you will be part of the NHPR Audience Team, which is responsible for growing the reach and impact of our news, podcasts and programming across platforms. By design, our team is highly collaborative — working closely with NHPR’s newsroom and other editorial partners across the organization.

Your primary responsibility will be acting as the lead voice and producer of our flagship email newsletter, The Rundown. We currently produce one news digest each weekday, but the frequency and focus of our newsletter portfolio could evolve — and we’re looking for someone who is eager to test new formats and ways to grow and engage our audience.

You will also work closely with the Senior Audience Editor and others across NHPR content teams to experiment with special projects for our newsletters and news app, striving to make these products as essential and engaging as possible.

If you like the idea of helping people to find clarity and context about the biggest stories affecting New Hampshire — and leading with humanity during chaotic news cycles — this is the right position for you.

This is a full-time, exempt, hybrid-eligible role based in New Hampshire, reporting to our Senior Audience Editor. Applicants must be willing to live within 100 miles of our newsroom, which is headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire. This position is part of the SAG-AFTRA bargaining unit, with a budgeted salary range of $68,200 - $74,000 depending on qualifications. We also consider internal equity, among other factors, when deciding compensation.

Essential Duties Include:

·         Serve as lead author and producer for NHPR’s flagship daily newsletter (The Rundown) and the weekly New Hampshire News Quiz newsletter, with editorial support from the Senior Audience Editor.

·         Share NHPR news, podcast and programming content in a timely, accurate and engaging manner on NHPR newsletters and our news app.

• With support from the Senior Audience Editor, seek out new opportunities to use NHPR newsletters and the NHPR mobile app to reach new audiences and deepen engagement with existing audiences.

·         Work with the Senior Audience Editor and other colleagues on an ongoing basis to improve the user experience of NHPR newsletters, the news app, and other digital news products, as well as the presentation of special projects, podcasts, and programming segments on social and digital platforms.

Other Responsibilities Include:

·         As needed, assist with sharing NHPR news, podcast and programming content on NHPR social media platforms (including Facebook, Threads, X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube).

·         As needed, represent NHPR on camera and in person to promote awareness of our work

·         As needed, assist with sharing updates about new programs, station news and events, membership messaging and more, to further grow and engage our audience.

·         As needed, participate in station fundraising activities.

Qualifications:

·         3+ years of experience as a reporter, editor or digital producer, preferably with newsletter experience.

·         Exceptional writing skills, with the ability to cultivate a trusted and conversational voice across a wide range of topics, including sensitive or complex subject matter.

·         Meticulous attention to detail, accuracy and fact-checking.

·         Demonstrated ability to synthesize information in clear, concise language.

·         Fluency in best practices for newsletters, push notifications and short-form text formats.

·         Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience

·         Experience producing content for digital or social media platforms (such as Facebook, Threads, X, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) is a plus.

·         Familiarity with New Hampshire or New England is a plus.

·         Familiarity with public media is a plus.

·         Experience with Mailchimp or another newsletter delivery system is a plus.

·         Experience with newsletter analytics, Google Analytics or audience analytics is a plus.

·         Experience with product development and management is a plus.

However, we know there are great candidates who may not have all these qualities or who have important skills we may not have outlined above. If this is you, do not hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
