You can inspire and coach others to deliver the newsroom's strategy and brand with consistency. You consider yourself a heck of a conversational writer and copyeditor. And you are comfortable around multiple newsroom technologies and can learn new tech rapidly.

Hungry for experiences? We got 'em. Looking for smart, driven collaborators who have your back? Got 'em. Competitive pay? Got it. Is it kinda' cool that it never snows here, there's plenty of sunshine, and yeah, there might be some fantastic beaches a short drive away? Yup, we've got it all....except you!
