Content & Operations Director

WAER FM88.3 Syracuse Public Media seeks a talented technical and content leader who can manage broadcast operations, maintain our digital content framework, and guide content distribution across channels and platforms.

In addition to managing WAER radio broadcast scheduling and automation, you’ll have a key role in the look and content of WAER.org. You’ll oversee staff and aspects of the operation that determine how we sound, as well as have the opportunity to create content for digital platforms, podcasts or other innovative storytelling methods. The WAER Content and Operations Director needs to know broadcast operations, including automation systems, podcast development and posting, basic website management (familiarity with Grove CMS helpful), and utilize audience research to help guide programming and content decisions.

WAER, an NPR affiliate, is a broadcast service of the Newhouse School of Communications, with a mission to teach and train students. The WAER Content and Operations Director is a Syracuse University Employee with generous benefits. Questions welcome at cabolt@syr.edu
