National-champion level sports leader wanted.
Do you have what it takes to dominate sports coverage where the heart of college football beats loudly? AL.com is seeking a top-flight sports leader to guide its coverage of Alabama and Auburn athletics, as well as its sports reporting across the South.
We devote extraordinary resources to our top-tier beats, programs among the nation's elite whose success is outstripped only by the enthusiasm of their fans. This Managing Producer of Sports will also supervise coverage of the dominant Southeastern Conference, and extend reach through pro sports, other college sports, high school sports and more.
We have a commitment to investigative and enterprise reporting, and seek someone with an ability to guide reporters through challenging stories of impact to compete for national awards. Since 2018, AL.com journalists have won two Pulitzer Prize awards as well as earning a finalist nomination for journalism's highest honor. This underscores the strength of our cohesive staff, which includes some of the nation's top editors and reporters.
We are a digitally-focused company, seeking a leader to help drive content 24/7 on our statewide site, AL.com, with a loyal and demanding following that extends well beyond Alabama across the Southeast and truly across the nation.
This leader is responsible for development and distribution of authoritative content over all platforms that breaks news, delivers constant buzz and offers in-depth analysis, using digital approaches that build and engage audiences. Duties include strategic planning, project execution and supervision of reporters, managing performance-based metrics for the content team and individual employees.
