Part-Time Editorial Operations Associate

The USA TODAY NETWORK, the home of USA TODAY and more than 200 local newspapers, is hiring an organized and solutions-oriented Part-Time Editorial Operations Associate to supercharge the transformation efforts of the largest news company in the country.   

This is a pivotal moment to join our team. The USA TODAY Network is on a mission to save local journalism. The objective is not only a return to stability for our newsrooms but one that makes expansion possible, extending our reach and impact to an ever-larger number of readers, viewers, and listeners in all of the communities we serve.   

The editorial operations associate will oversee programs across the vast content division, such as organizing travel to conferences, sponsorship of industry events, our fellowship programs, and more. They must manage the programs in their portfolio with pristine organization, communication, and collaboration, ensuring a no-surprises culture among stakeholders and delivering on deadline and at budget.  

The ideal candidate will join the team with an everything-is-figureoutable attitude and a willingness to spot and escalate problems, and potential solutions, to the content leadership team.

• Maintain shared documents used across the content division.

• Assist content team leads with filing necessary IT tickets.  

Requirements:  

• Proven experience effectively executing programs across a matrixed organization on deadline.

• Agility at managing multiple projects and leading through action and collaboration.
