We have eight job openings at Poynter right now! Opportunities span nearly every department and career stage, from fellowships to leadership, from the newsroom to accounting and tech.
You could work with our inspiring faculty and subject matter experts to design cutting-edge, relevant journalism teaching programs. You could lead our growing fact-checking newsroom as we focus on voting for the 2022 midterms, the 2024 presidential election and beyond. Or you could create partnerships with community groups and local news publishers across the country that promote digital media literacy.
Most positions are based at our offices in either St. Petersburg, Florida, or Washington, D.C., and some can be remote for the right candidate. Of course, I think one of the best benefits to working at Poynter is access to our world-class professional development — for free. My colleagues and I also enjoy generous vacation time, one of the best paid parental leave plans out there and a peaceful, paid winter break when the whole Institute is closed for two weeks.
All our job opportunities are listed at the bottom of today’s Weekly Training Digest, or you can start exploring now. If you’re not in the job market but still looking to shake things up, take a look at our upcoming training opportunities.
