O’Rourke Media Group is recruiting for a Publisher to lead and grow our business in the Greater Burlington, Vermont market. The Publisher will be responsible for managing the operation, which includes Sales/Marketing, New Business Development, News/Editorial, Community Relations, Operations and Team/Staff Development. We’re looking for someone that gets digital but also understands the importance and relevance of print.
The Publisher has lots of freedom and autonomy but is expected to work cohesively with our internal digital agency and centralized team of resources in Finance, IT/Process Improvement, News and HR/Payroll to drive business growth and efficiency. Our goal is for this job to feel like it’s your own business or franchise without the headache of owning a company.
We’re looking for an experienced manager in the media industry with a track record of growing revenue, a rising star in the media industry currently working in an Advertising or News capacity and looking for an opportunity to run a business, and or, an experienced manager from outside the media industry that is working in a sales or marketing capacity.
The Publisher must live or relocate to the Burlington, VT area to be considered for this job opportunity.
