Content Syndication Manager

Do you thrive on spotting trends, sharing news, and being the one-stop know-it-all source on every topic worthy of watercooler chat? Help launch a dynamic team leading a digital transformation for the newspaper industry at the Lee Enterprises digital content center based in Madison, WI.

You’ll help us expand our audience for more than 50 websites and associated digital products. You’ll lead the charge to increase the quality and volume of information we produce for targeted audience segments. You’ll leverage a variety of sources and apply your own initiative to produce engagement-building galleries, slideshows, quizzes, polls and other content on trending topics. And you’ll channel the flow of our rushing river of news overall.

We’re looking for aptitude over experience, as this job will evolve over time. Experience with a website CMS such as Blox will give you a head start. You don’t need to be a coder, but you do need to know the difference between an iframe and a javascript.

Absolute requirements? A bachelor’s degree plus experience of a year or more in text or visual media, digital production and/or social media marketing. Internships count. Also, you’ll need to meet our clear goals and deadlines without fail, and work some odd hours. You’ll thrive collaborating with a team spread across the country, using real-time chat. You’ll have to love numbers as much as words and visuals, because we measure everything with Google Analytics, CrowdTangle plus Parse.ly and other tools.

What do you get? A clear mission, frequent chances to shine in a high-profile initiative, flexible hours, a ragtag band of colleagues bent on reinventing our business, and sometimes, treats.

Benefits offered include medical, dental, and vision insurances; company paid life and long term disability insurances; company matched 401k; employee assistance program; and paid vacation, personal, sick, and holiday time.
