What is InMaricopa, and what impact can you have?
InMaricopa’s mission is to inform readers/viewers and enrich advertisers. Your role as managing editor is critical to our ability to accomplish this. We take great pride in the positive impact we make on the community and the focus we’ve placed on quality journalism since our founding in 2004.
We are the leader in the 90,000-person (and growing) Maricopa market. We have 35,000-plus organic social media followers, a 19-year track record and stable of both print and digital products to serve our readers and advertisers. Our content is hyperlocal, and we dominate in this space.
We believe in:
- An informed citizenry.
- Holding ourselves and others accountable.
- The success of deserving businesses.
Our core values are non-negotiable and the easiest way to determine whether a career with InMaricopa is right for you. They are:
- Integrity
- Accountability
- Open, honest and real-time communication
- Prosperity for clients, community, company and employees
Am I a good fit?
Skills and experience are important, for sure; but not as important as character. We can teach you new skills and help you hone existing ones, but we cannot teach personality or character. The primary barometer of your longevity with InMaricopa is our core values. If they resonate with – even excite – you, you’re likely a great fit for our team. If they don’t, that’s OK; it’s a lot better to find out a job is not right for you before you even apply than after you’ve been hired.
In addition to having a passion for helping people and living our core values, you are results-oriented, competitive, coachable, cheerful, helpful and not afraid to laugh. You work effectively independently and within a team, are self-motivated and take initiative.
What are the benefits of working at InMaricopa?
The important, albeit less traditional, benefits include working for the market leader in an environment that provides flexibility, freedom, fun, autonomy and stability. We have supportive ownership and myriad opportunities to learn/grow and advance your career.
Our managing editor is a member of our three-person executive leadership team and will have opportunity to promote to positions of editorial director, associate publisher and publisher. The opportunity for an equity position in the company is available to the person who showcases leadership and character commensurate with our core values.
We also offer the opportunity to earn a competitive salary, bonuses, 401(k) contributions, paid time off, sick time, holiday pay, auto and cell phone allowances and more. A short commute will also add to your quality of life.
What is a day-in-the-life of InMaricopa’s managing editor?
Your primary role is leading our Editorial team, building on our best-in-class speed and quality news dissemination via our website, social, magazine and specialty print publications. Requisite activities include:
- Getting the best out of staff, stringers, contributors and vendors.
- Reporting, writing, editing (photography and videography skills valuable, too).
- Proactive marketing of content via social media.
- Developing relationships with newsmakers in the community.
- Providing strategic input as member of company’s leadership team.
Doesn’t this go without saying?
InMaricopa is an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status.
