Key info:
- Title: Managing Editor (but we don't repeat as heading)
- About the role: description: "New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) is seeking a managing editor with a track record of fostering ambitious audio journalism to manage and edit Civics 101, a podcast about how our democracy works. The Managing Editor is a key editorial leader, helping build NHPR's capacity for telling thoughtful, deeply reported stories. The ideal candidate recognizes that narrative and explanatory journalism can change minds and empower audiences, thinks carefully about story structure, has an ear for surprising audio, and edits with flair. NHPR is committed to building an inclusive environment and strongly encourages applications from members of communities traditionally underrepresented in journalism. This is a full-time, exempt, hybrid-eligible role, reporting to the Director of Podcasts. Applicants must be willing to live within 100 miles of our newsroom, which is headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire."
- Pay: "The budgeted salary range is $77,600 - $95,000 depending on qualifications. We also consider internal equity, among other factors, when deciding compensation."
- Benefits: "Benefits: NHPR offers a generous benefits package that includes health, dental and vision insurance; company paid short- and long-term disability; flexible spending accounts; 403(b) savings plan with company match and a free on-site fitness center. Three weeks of vacation, twelve paid holidays, two floating personal days, and paid sick and parental leave."
- Responsibilities: "Essential Duties Include ..." list bullet points.
- Additional Responsibilities: also list.
- Qualifications: "Qualifications Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, related subject area, or equivalent practical experience. To be successful in this role, we are looking for 3–5 years of relevant media experience, including at least 2 years directly managing podcast or audio production teams, editing long-form narrative audio, and mentoring editorial staff. Demonstrated strategic editorial judgment, narrative story structuring, project management, and fluency with data analytics. Experience working in video or digital strategy is a plus. Valid driver's license and access to transportation for occasional required travel to the Concord, NH station for events and station activities. Proficiency in at least one digital audio workstation is a must, with Adobe Audition experience a plus."
- Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications: proficiency in DAW, etc. But we can treat qualifications as a section; maybe also a Skills section if we want to separate. However we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include only those with content.
We have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly also Requirements? The qualifications cover requirements. Could treat Qualifications as requirements. We'll include Qualifications.
We have no explicit Schedule info (full-time, exempt, hybrid-eligible). That's schedule info: full-time, exempt, hybrid-eligible. That could go under Schedule section. The posting says "This is a full-time, exempt, hybrid-eligible role". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that sentence.
We should not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details like location requirement (within 100 miles of Concord, NH). Must include that in About the role.
We need to format lists with
