KPRC 2, the Graham Media Group-owned NBC media hub in Houston, is in the midst of a LOCAL NEWS TRANSFORMATION, and we’re looking for an EPIC DIRECTOR OF DIGITAL CONTENT to join us in the adventure!
KPRC 2’s Digital Director will be the centralized content strategist for our non-linear platforms. This person is a digital news junkie who can inspire team members to step out of their comfort zone to find new successes. There’s nothing basic about them. They’re a digitally-savvy, creative, and dynamic leader who’s hyper-focused on using data and analytics to identify engaging local content opportunities within the newsroom and understand when, where, and how that content should be distributed to best align with our product goals and brand. The right person for this job is a visionary leader who’s ready to level up our team and create innovative digital content solutions for our news operation.

The Digital Director will work with the News Director and other newsroom leaders to create strategic action plans to grow audience and revenue for our digital and streaming platforms. This includes prioritizing newsroom initiatives, establishing key performance indicators to measure progress, and developing a next-gen staffing model to help grow and retain talent. We are breaking down silos between sub-departments in our newsroom so that this team works across platforms as ONE TEAM! With that in mind, the Digital Director will coach the entire newsroom team on digital best practices, set and communicate expectations, develop short- and long-term coverage strategies, and coordinate assignments and cross-platform opportunities to achieve our content objectives and meet (or exceed!) our analytics goals.
The Digital Director will also work in conjunction with other departments in the station – including Sales, Creative Services, and Special Events – to identify and coordinate opportunities for digital integration across our entire media hub.

- Supervise our digital team to direct coverage of breaking news and major stories on every KPRC 2 platform
- Coach reporters and videographers on the priorities, goals, and execution of digital content
- Work with the KPRC 2+ Stream Team to develop digital content opportunities coming out of KPRC Originals programming

- Partner with Graham Digital on support, training, and implementation for current and new products and platforms
- Be available by phone and email to handle breaking news and staffing decisions during non-traditional office hours
- Be a brand ambassador for Click2Houston.com, and KPRC 2+ (livestreaming app) and all digital/social platforms

- Experience in running a successful news site, focused on developing audiences and creating an audience engagement funnel
- Excellent planning skills and ability to transform an idea, implement and execute a plan
