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.

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.
