San Francisco, CA Details

Full Time

Deputy Creative Director

The San Francisco Chronicle has an im *** te opening for a deputy creative director to lead the visual storytelling and design of the newsroom's most ambitious digital journalism.

The Chronicle's design team is a multidisciplinary group of designers, developers, graphic artists and graphics reporters. We collaborate frequently and interchangeably with the Chronicle's data team (which specializes in data analysis and takes the lead in data visualization) and the *** DevHub (a centralized group of developers and engineers that manages a shared codebase and creates templates, tooling, original reporting and other design and development for newsrooms throughout the company). We also work in close concert with the visuals and investigative teams. (Both were Pulitzer Prize finalists in 2023.)

At the nexus of content creation and production, we play a central role in the newsroom's most important work. We provide design direction, make UX improvements to small enterprise projects and steer teams toward alternative story forms that may communicate their reporting *** ter than a traditional news article. We work with the audience team to balance our storytelling and innovation goals with the technical and design best practices that maximize SEO and the user experience. From ideation to final deployment, we also project manage, design and develop the newsroom's largest projects.

The ideal candidate is a skilled journalist, can communicate to our audience effectively and can take advantage of the latest technologies. You should be a strong collaborator who can draw out innovative ideas from a diverse group of colleagues while keeping work on schedule. You should have the technical design and development skills to make or to teach others to make ideas come to life. You should have an experimental temperament and want to push what we're capable of, while being able to bring to life the brass tacks journalism that is our bread and butter. You should have a growth mindset and be unafraid to keep learning since the pace of technological change in our industry continues to accelerate. You must be able to ask for help when you need it. Finally, you must be creative.

Candidates must be willing to relocate to San Francisco to work in a hybrid workplace, where employees are expected to be in the office three days a week. The deputy creative director will report directly to Alex K. Fong, creative director of the San Francisco Chronicle and *** president of the Society for News Design.
