Village Media is looking for a sharp, self-motivated, tech-obsessed, and highly resourceful IT Operations Specialist to support our growing North American team.

This new position requires intelligence, drive, strong communication skills, and raw problem-solving horsepower. While you should already have a solid foundation of tech experience, you do not need to check every single box on day one. If you love tech, are a fast learner, a natural problem solver, and thrive when handed a completely new challenge to figure out, you may be a good fit.

This role is suitable for a motivated, tech-loving problem solver who isn't being challenged enough in their current work. It would also be an excellent launchpad for a smart, driven recent computer networking, programming or other tech-related graduate or a junior professional looking to gain massive, cross-functional experience within this fast-growing company.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Software & Processes

• User & Account Management: Manage the employee software lifecycle, assisting with onboarding/offboarding, provisioning user accounts, and managing access permissions.

• Process Improvement: Assist in developing or vibecoding new or improved processes and systems to help the company run more efficiently.

• MDM Implementation: Assist in building out and deploying our Mobile Device Management (MDM) framework to secure and manage company hardware.

• Security: Analyze and monitor systems for security risks and implement mitigating changes.

• Documentation: Develop and maintain an internal knowledge base, a first-line resource for employees and external users to find answers to their questions.

Hardware & Gear

• Tech Support: Provide first-line support to staff for a diverse hardware fleet of end-user devices.

• Asset Management: Manage, test, clean, organize and provision hardware inventory.

• Network and IOT: Manage other devices in our facilities: network equipment, TVs, video conferencing, cameras, building automation, etc.

• Office Operations: Going beyond IT, provide operational support for our offices and facilities, including minor troubleshooting and repairs.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Exceptional Problem Solving: You don't freeze when you encounter a software error, or an assignment in something unfamiliar; you research, ask questions, test, and solve it.

• High Self-Motivation: You take ownership of tasks from start to finish without needing micro-management, but knowing when to ask for guidance. You seek out work that needs to be done during slow periods. You naturally look for ways to improve processes before being asked.

• Technical Adaptability: Comfortable switching contexts between different operating systems and cloud platforms.

• Analytical: Coding or programming experience contributes to your understanding of how data should be structured and interacted with.

• Security-Minded: You consider and prioritize security in every action you take. You have 2FA on all your accounts.

• Organized: Your box of spare cables at home is organized by connector type. You know the difference between HDMI, DP, USB-C, and RJ45.

• Strong Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills to calmly help colleagues through tech frustrations. Excellent written communication skills to effectively contribute to our knowledge base documentation.

• Education/Experience: A degree, college diploma, or equivalent track record that proves your analytical skills, work ethic and tech expertise. While IT work experience is a big plus, we are open to a sharp, high-potential recent graduate.

Preferred Assets & Ecosystem Experience

Experience in any of the following areas or platforms is considered an asset:

• Cloud & SaaS: Google Workspace Enterprise, Salesforce

• MDM & Endpoint Management: Google Zero-Touch Enrollment (ZTE), Apple Business Manager, Microsoft Intune

• Networking & Hardware: UniFi (Network, Protect, Access, Connect, Identity Enterprise); physical installation, security, segmentation, and traffic management

THE KIND OF PEOPLE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

That means we look for people who genuinely care about the places they serve. We need teammates who are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and energized by solving problems. You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbours. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

The successful candidate must live in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Reporting to the Director of Finance & Operations, this is an in-person position based out of our downtown Sault Ste. Marie headquarters.

If this is you, please apply! We require a cover letter and a resume.

Salary Range: $40,000 - $80,000, commensurate with experience.

Make a difference where it matters most—right here at home.

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news; we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy—and we also know that a community needs spaces to connect, celebrate, and support one another.

We seek a dynamic individual to support the  launch of our community impact organizations in up to 5 Wisconsin communities, starting with Appleton.

As our Community Engagement Coordinator , you are the steward of community connection. You’ll work alongside our local teams to ensure our digital town square is vibrant, supportive, and genuinely engaged.

What you will do:

Steward Village’s GoodWorks  initiatives

• Our GoodWorks programs represent the philanthropic heart of our organization. It’s where we lift up local changemakers, support grassroots movements, and empower non-profits. This role will help coordinate and execute these local community impact programs, including the Community Builders Awards, Random Acts of Kindness, GoodWorksfeatures, and Community Match Initiatives.

Launch & grow SPACES

• SPACES is a localized, safer, and algorithm-free alternative to traditional social media. In addition to researching and posting useful content to SPACES, such as upcoming local events, you will also recruit and onboard local “hosts” for topics such as photography, gardening, reading, etc. You will also identify, onboard, and support local community groups, clubs, and non-profits, empowering them to share their own updates, events, and stories directly on our platform. 

The kind of people we're looking for

Village Media is beyond a traditional media company. We're a community impact organization. Our purpose is to help communities become stronger by keeping people informed, connected, and engaged.

That means we look for people who genuinely care about the places they serve. We seek teammates who are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and energized by solving problems. You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

What you bring to the table:

• Passion for community: You are already active in your local community, whether through volunteering, organizing neighborhood events, or championing local businesses.

• Exceptional communication skills: You are a natural relationship-builder who writes with warmth, speaks with empathy, and listens with genuine curiosity.

• Digital comfort: You are comfortable navigating digital platforms, managing online forums, and learning new software. Experience with online community moderation or social media management is a major asset.

• Project management skills: You can juggle multiple moving parts—from coordinating an advertising grant for a local charity to onboarding a new neighborhood association onto our SPACES platform.

• Entrepreneurial spirit: Because this is a launch role, you need to be a self-starter who is comfortable working independently and building a presence from the ground up.

Compensation and logistics

• Work arrangement: Remote/work-from-Home, with a requirement of residing within your assigned Wisconsin market (Appleton, Fond du Lac, Kaukauna, Manitowoc, or Sheboygan). Open to candidates willing to relocate to this region. 

• Compensation: $50,000 USD per annum. 

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, but as a community organizer, you understand that doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule.

If you are ready to bring genuine connection and community spirit to one of our five new Wisconsin markets, please apply!

What to Include:

Your resume; 2-page limit: Walk us through your professional journey and community involvement. 

Your story (in lieu of a traditional cover letter): 2-page limit: Tell us who you are beyond a list of bullet points. We want to read a story you are truly proud of. In your submission, please address the following: 

• What makes you proud to live in your community?

• Tell us about a local business or non-profit you love, and the story behind why they matter.

• Share a meaningful moment—whether you were making a tangible impact locally, or a time you brought a group of diverse people together.

The Trillium is Village Media’s Ontario political news website. For the past three years, The Trillium has been devoted to Ontario provincial political news and has developed a reputation for impactful accountability-focused journalism at Queen’s Park. Now, we’re expanding to Parliament Hill to bring hard-hitting, enterprising federal political news to our readers across Ontario.

Reporting to The Trillium’s editor-in-chief, the bureau chief will be responsible for leading and assigning the Ottawa bureau’s federal political news coverage and coordinating with the provincial team at Queen’s Park as well as with the broader Village Media chain.

The successful candidate will be passionate about breaking news that serves Ontario voters, holds governments to account and doesn’t follow the pack. The bureau chief will be team-oriented: they will file their own stories and assist the bureau’s reporters with their work.

You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

We're building something ambitious in the digital media space, so we value:

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbours. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

Do you have a passion for uncovering your community’s most meaningful  stories? Do you believe that local news is the glue that holds a neighborhood together? Have you seen when a single impactful story can foster a stronger local connection?

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news, we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy and a critical community service. We seek five versatile, high-energy Reporters to serve in each of these Illinois communities: Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Peoria, and Springfield.

The Voice of the Community

You won’t just be filing stories; you’ll be capturing the authentic local narrative through compelling writing, timely reporting and engaging digital content. We’re looking for a Reporter who knows their community better than anyone else. This is a local role where you’re immersed in the local scene—cultivating sources and listening to what actually affects your neighbors’ lives. You’ll work with your Editor to ensure our site is the most trusted voice for the stories that connect, inform and strengthen the community you call home.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Report a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features, and high-impact stories that accurately reflect the civics, cultural and economic life of the community. 

• Community trust - Uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, thorough verification, and nonpartisan reporting in every story you pursue. 

• Local interests - Pitch and pursue stories that matter most to our readers, using digital metrics and community feedback to guide your beats.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Relentless curiosity.

• A commitment to fairness, accuracy and journalistic integrity.

• Strong news-gathering and writing skills, with the ability to complement your stories with photography.

• The ability to thrive in a hyper-local news environment, working comfortably on tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

• The ability to constructively listen so that community feedback turns into solutions-oriented reporting that addresses the real-world concerns of the people living there.

• A valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle. Since you will cover every corner of your municipality, your vehicle is your office and the community is your newsroom.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within your designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: $50,000 USD per annum. 

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Because this role is deeply rooted in the community, some evening and weekend flexibility is required to cover the town halls, local events, and breaking stories that matter most to our readers. 

To Apply: Tell Us Your Story

At Village, we are people with heart, grit, and deep roots in the communities we serve. Because our mission is entirely focused on genuine human connection, trust, and local vitality, we do things authentically.

About Village Media

Village Media is a leading digital media company dedicated to strengthening local communities through trusted journalism, technology, and civic engagement. Headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Village Media operates a growing network of local news publications and community platforms across Canada and the United States.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability or veteran status. We are committed to providing a working environment that honors the unique backgrounds and perspectives of every team member.

Do you have a passion for uncovering your community’s most meaningful  stories? Do you believe that local news is the glue that holds a neighborhood together? Have you seen when a single impactful story can foster a stronger local connection?

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news, we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy and a critical community service. We seek five versatile, high-energy Reporters to serve in each of these Wisconsin communities: Appleton, Fond du Lac, Kaukauna, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan.

The Voice of the Community

You won’t just be filing stories; you’ll be capturing the authentic local narrative through compelling writing, timely reporting and engaging digital content. We’re looking for a Reporter who knows their community better than anyone else. This is a local role where you’re immersed in the local scene—cultivating sources and listening to what actually affects your neighbors’ lives. You’ll work with your Editor to ensure our site is the most trusted voice for the stories that connect, inform and strengthen the community you call home.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Report a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features, and high-impact stories that accurately reflect the civics, cultural and economic life of the community. 

• Community trust - Uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, thorough verification, and nonpartisan reporting in every story you pursue. 

• Local interests - Pitch and pursue stories that matter most to our readers, using digital metrics and community feedback to guide your beats. 

• CARES Initiatives - Collaborate with our Community Coordinator to identify and cover CARES initiatives and Community Conversations that drive local impact. 

The Kind of People We're Looking For

Village Media is beyond a traditional media company. We're a community impact organization. Our purpose is to help communities become stronger by keeping people informed, connected, and engaged.

That means we look for people who genuinely care about the places they serve. We need teammates who are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and energized by solving problems. You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

We're building something ambitious in the digital media space, so we value:

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbors. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Relentless curiosity.

• A commitment to fairness, accuracy and journalistic integrity.

• Strong news-gathering and writing skills, with the ability to complement your stories with photography.

• The ability to thrive in a hyper-local news environment, working comfortably on tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

• The ability to constructively listen so that community feedback turns into solutions-oriented reporting that addresses the real-world concerns of the people living there.

• A valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle. Since you will cover every corner of your municipality, your vehicle is your office and the community is your newsroom.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within your designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: $50,000 USD per annum. 

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Because this role is deeply rooted in the community, some evening and weekend flexibility is required to cover the town halls, local events, and breaking stories that matter most to our readers. 

To Apply: Tell Us Your Story

At Village, we are people with heart, grit, and deep roots in the communities we serve. Because our mission is entirely focused on genuine human connection, trust, and local vitality, we do things authentically.

We promise that no artificial intelligence (AI), automated keyword matching, or large language models (LLMs) are used in our resume and cover-letter selection process.

We  honor your uniqueness  and believe your real-world experiences shape your character. Every application is  evaluated by actual human beings who care deeply about the communities we serve, including our future colleagues.

If you are ready to tell the story of your community, please submit your application with the subject line: Reporter – Kaukauna.

We seek five versatile, high-energy Reporters to serve in each of these Pennsylvania communities: Altoona, Huntingdon, Indiana, Johnstown, and Somerset.

The Voice of the Community

You won’t just be filing stories; you’ll be capturing the authentic local narrative through compelling writing, timely reporting and engaging digital content. We’re looking for a Reporter who knows their community better than anyone else. This is a local role where you’re immersed in the local scene—cultivating sources and listening to what actually affects your neighbors’ lives. You’ll work with your Editor to ensure our site is the most trusted voice for the stories that connect, inform and strengthen the community you call home.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Report a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features, and high-impact stories that accurately reflect the civics, cultural and economic life of the community. 

• Community trust - Uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, thorough verification, and nonpartisan reporting in every story you pursue. 

• Local interests - Pitch and pursue stories that matter most to our readers, using digital metrics and community feedback to guide your beats. 

• CARES Initiatives - Collaborate with our Community Coordinator to identify and cover CARES initiatives and Community Conversations that drive local impact. 

What You Bring to the Table:

• Relentless curiosity.

• A commitment to fairness, accuracy and journalistic integrity.

• Strong news-gathering and writing skills, with the ability to complement your stories with photography.

• The ability to thrive in a hyper-local news environment, working comfortably on tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

• The ability to constructively listen so that community feedback turns into solutions-oriented reporting that addresses the real-world concerns of the people living there.

• A valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle. Since you will cover every corner of your municipality, your vehicle is your office and the community is your newsroom.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within your designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: $50,000 USD per annum. 

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Because this role is deeply rooted in the community, some evening and weekend flexibility is required to cover the town halls, local events, and breaking stories that matter most to our readers. 

To Apply: Tell Us Your Story

At Village, we are people with heart, grit, and deep roots in the communities we serve. Because our mission is entirely focused on genuine human connection, trust, and local vitality, we do things authentically.

We promise that no artificial intelligence (AI), automated keyword matching, or large language models (LLMs) are used in our resume and cover-letter selection process.

We  honor your uniqueness  and believe your real-world experiences shape your character. Every application is  evaluated by actual human beings who care deeply about the communities we serve, including our future colleagues.

If you are ready to tell the story of your community, please submit your application with the subject line: Reporter – Indiana.

What to Include:

Your Resume; 2-page limit: Walk us through your journalistic journey. Highlight your achievements in community beat reporting, public service journalism, and impactful storytelling. Show us your ability to build trust on the ground, manage tight newsroom deadlines, and deliver high-impact coverage that serves the public interest. 

Your Story (In Lieu of a Traditional Cover Letter); 2-page limit: Tell us who you are beyond a list of bullet points. We want to read a story you are truly proud of. In your submission, please consider the following: 

• What makes you proud to live in your community?

• Tell us about a local business or non-profit you love, and the story behind why they matter.

• Share a meaningful moment—whether you were making a tangible impact locally, or witnessing a community leader you admire.

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news, we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy. We seek five visionary, high-energy Editors to launch and lead our footprint in each of these Illinois communities: Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Peoria, and Springfield. As Editor, you drive the editorial strategy, shaping the daily coverage that defines your community and reflecting the local narrative.

The Heart of the Newsroom

This is a leadership role for a storyteller who communicates the "big picture" while obsessing over the details. You are the lead reporter, strategist and practitioner addressing the community’s most critical stories, while also serving as a manager and mentor to your reporters. You ensure your digital town square is the most trusted, vibrant, and essential source of local information, leading by example in the field and from the editor's desk.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Provide editorial direction to your reporter(s) and ensure a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features and high-impact reporting that reflects the cultural and economic life of the community.

• Community trust - Serve as the guardian of the digital town square. You uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, verification, and nonpartisan reporting, ensuring our coverage remains fiercely independent, fair, and trusted by all members of the community.

• Local interests - Understand what your readers care about most and shape your coverage strategy by leveraging digital metrics and community feedback.

• CARES Initiatives - Maintain local impact as the cornerstone of the digital town square, by partnering with our Community Coordinator to highlight CARES initiatives and Community Conversations.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience in newsroom leadership, with a "nose for news" and the judgment to handle sensitive local issues with fairness and strict impartiality.

• An unwavering commitment to journalistic independence and the ethical standards of objective, fact-based storytelling, with the ability to navigate diverse viewpoints without bias.

• A strong understanding of the mechanics of digital publishing and audience analytics.

• The ability to mentor others and a passion for helping journalists grow their skills.

• A deep insight into—or a strong willingness to immerse yourself in—the unique identities, leadership and culture of Western / Central Pennsylvania communities.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within the designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: $72,000 USD per annum, plus eligibility for an additional performance bonus of $2,000 per annum.

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, but as a newsroom leader, you understand that news doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule.

About Village Media

Village Media is a leading digital media company dedicated to strengthening local communities through trusted journalism, technology, and civic engagement. Headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Village Media operates a growing network of local news publications and community platforms across Canada and the United States.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability or veteran status. We are committed to providing a working environment that honors the unique backgrounds and perspectives of every team member.

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news, we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy. We seek five visionary, high-energy Editors to launch and lead our footprint in each of these Wisconsin communities: Appleton, Fond du Lac, Kaukauna, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan. As Editor, you drive the editorial strategy, shaping the daily coverage that defines your community and reflecting the local narrative.

The Heart of the Newsroom

This is a leadership role for a storyteller who communicates the "big picture" while obsessing over the details. You are the lead reporter, strategist and practitioner addressing the community’s most critical stories, while also serving as a manager and mentor to your reporters. You ensure your digital town square is the most trusted, vibrant, and essential source of local information, leading by example in the field and from the editor's desk.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Provide editorial direction to your reporter(s) and ensure a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features and high-impact reporting that reflects the cultural and economic life of the community.

• Community trust - Serve as the guardian of the digital town square. You uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, verification, and nonpartisan reporting, ensuring our coverage remains fiercely independent, fair, and trusted by all members of the community.

• Local interests - Understand what your readers care about most and shape your coverage strategy by leveraging digital metrics and community feedback.

• CARES Initiatives - Maintain local impact as the cornerstone of the digital town square, by partnering with our Community Coordinator to highlight CARES initiatives and Community Conversations.

The Kind of People We're Looking For

Village Media is beyond a traditional media company. We're a community impact organization. Our purpose is to help communities become stronger by keeping people informed, connected, and engaged.

That means we look for people who genuinely care about the places they serve. We need teammates who are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and energized by solving problems. You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

We're building something ambitious in the digital media space, so we value:

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbors. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

About Village Media

Village Media is a leading digital media company dedicated to strengthening local communities through trusted journalism, technology, and civic engagement. Headquartered in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Village Media operates a growing network of local news publications and community platforms across Canada and the United States.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability or veteran status. We are committed to providing a working environment that honors the unique backgrounds and perspectives of every team member.

At Village Media Ltd., we don’t just report the news, we maintain the digital town square. We believe that rigorous, independent, and nonpartisan journalism is the bedrock of a healthy democracy. We seek five visionary, high-energy Editors to launch and lead our footprint in each of these Pennsylvania communities: Altoona, Huntingdon, Indiana, Johnstown, and Somerset. As Editor, you drive the editorial strategy, shaping the daily coverage that defines your community and reflecting the local narrative.

The Heart of the Newsroom

This is a leadership role for a storyteller who communicates the "big picture" while obsessing over the details. You are the lead reporter, strategist and practitioner addressing the community’s most critical stories, while also serving as a manager and mentor to your reporters. You ensure your digital town square is the most trusted, vibrant, and essential source of local information, leading by example in the field and from the editor's desk.

What You Will Do:

• Local coverage - Provide editorial direction to your reporter(s) and ensure a dynamic mix of breaking news, deep-dive features and high-impact reporting that reflects the cultural and economic life of the community.

• Community trust - Serve as the guardian of the digital town square. You uphold the highest standards of factual accuracy, verification, and nonpartisan reporting, ensuring our coverage remains fiercely independent, fair, and trusted by all members of the community.

• Local interests - Understand what your readers care about most and shape your coverage strategy by leveraging digital metrics and community feedback.

• CARES Initiatives - Maintain local impact as the cornerstone of the digital town square, by partnering with our Community Coordinator to highlight CARES initiatives and Community Conversations.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience in newsroom leadership, with a "nose for news" and the judgment to handle sensitive local issues with fairness and strict impartiality.

• An unwavering commitment to journalistic independence and the ethical standards of objective, fact-based storytelling, with the ability to navigate diverse viewpoints without bias.

• A strong understanding of the mechanics of digital publishing and audience analytics.

• The ability to mentor others and a passion for helping journalists grow their skills.

• A deep insight into—or a strong willingness to immerse yourself in—the unique identities, leadership and culture of Western / Central Pennsylvania communities.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within the designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: $72,000 USD per annum, plus eligibility for an additional performance bonus of $2,000 per annum.

• Hours: Generally, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, but as a newsroom leader, you understand that news doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule.

To Apply: Tell Us Your Story

At Village, we are people with heart, grit, and deep roots in the communities we serve. Because our mission is entirely focused on genuine human connection, trust, and local vitality, we do things authentically.

We promise that no artificial intelligence (AI), automated keyword matching, or large language models (LLMs) are used in our resume and cover-letter selection process.

We  honor your uniqueness  and believe your real-world experiences create your character. Every application is  evaluated by actual human beings who care deeply about the communities we serve, including our future colleagues.

If you are ready to be the face and heart of your community, please submit your application with the subject line: Editor – Indiana.

Our five newest markets, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Peoria, and Springfield, each need a Community Lead to establish and lead the Village Media platforms, and serve as a local ambassador of the Village mission.

• Compensation: Base Salary of $50,000 USD per annum, supplemented by an uncapped 10% commission on local advertising sales. This also includes a year-one guarantee of $1,000 per month drawn against commission, for a total minimum year-one compensation amount of $62,000.

• Schedule: Generally Monday through Friday, with required attendance in representing the platform with Village at occasional weekend festivals, evening business mixers, civic gatherings, or similar events.

You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

We're building something ambitious in the digital media space, so we value:

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbors. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

• A proven track record in digital advertising sales, business development, relationship management, or community organizing.

The Kind of People We're Looking For

Village Media is beyond a traditional media company. We're a community impact organization. Our purpose is to help communities become stronger by keeping people informed, connected, and engaged.

That means we look for people who genuinely care about the places they serve. We need teammates who are curious, collaborative, adaptable, and energized by solving problems. You’ll fit right in if you take initiative, embrace change, and are always willing to step outside your job description to help the team or the community succeed.

We're building something ambitious in the digital media space, so we value:

Humility over ego

Optimism over cynicism

Ownership over "that’s not my job"

We move quickly, support one another, and believe meaningful work comes from people who care deeply about both their colleagues and their neighbors. If you're excited by the opportunity to make a real difference where people live, you'll thrive here.

At Village Media, aptitude matters. Attitude matters more.

Candidates must possess:

• A proven track record in digital advertising sales, business development, relationship management, or community organizing.

• The ability to interact comfortably with diverse local stakeholders, including corporate executives, small business owners, academic administrators, and community volunteers.

• Excellent public presentation and organizational skills, with a demonstrated ability to execute professional events.

• A valid driver’s license and reliable access to a personal vehicle to support active community engagement across the designated market.

Compensation and Logistics

• Work Arrangement: Remote/Work-from-Home, with a strict requirement of residing within the designated community. Open to non-resident candidates willing to relocate to the designated community.

• Compensation: Base Salary of $50,000 USD per annum, supplemented by an uncapped 10% commission on local advertising sales. This also includes a year-one guarantee of $1,000 per month drawn against commission, for a total minimum year-one compensation amount of $62,000.

• Schedule: Generally Monday through Friday, with required attendance in representing the platform with Village at occasional weekend festivals, evening business mixers, civic gatherings, or similar events.

To Apply: Tell Us Your Story

At Village, we are people with heart, grit, and deep roots in the communities we serve. Because our mission is entirely focused on genuine human connection, trust, and local vitality, we do things authentically.
