New York Focus, New York's only statewide nonprofit newsroom, is seeking a growth and audience lead to help expand our readership, promote audience loyalty, generate brand awareness, and support our development team in building strategies to enhance our reader revenue.
New York Focus launched in 2020 to fill a critical gap in the state's media ecosystem: Almost half of New York's newspapers have died in the last two decades. Since launching four years ago with a small team operating on a shoestring budget, we've grown significantly. We're currently a full-time team of 13, and on track to grow to nearly 20 by early 2025. Now, we're looking for someone to take control of our digital growth and strategy by creating, directing and executing a full readership funnel strategy, overseeing our newsletter strategy, developing key insights about our audience and how to best connect with them, running our metrics and analytics program and setting readership goals, and helping to enhance our product to better serve readers.
This position is crucial to our mission of giving New Yorkers across the state the information they need to fully participate in local democracy. We are looking for someone with a passion for local news; who wants to help build new strategies and systems from the ground up; is a data and analytics wiz and loves to dive deep into detailed audience indicators; is excited to take a leadership role in a growing organization; and has a proactive and entrepreneurial spirit.
