What You’ll Do • Hundreds of thousands The Philadelphia Inquirer is looking for an Alerts Editor to join its Programming & Audience team. This team manages the digital distribution tactics for The Inquirer’s journalism and works to optimize our coverage for the widest possible reach and engagement. The Alerts Editor will lead our strategy, planning and execution for notifications across mobile, email, desktop and other emerging... technology.

What You’ll Do
• Hundreds of thousands of individual readers, both paying subscribers and non-subscribers, receive email and/or push alerts from The Inquirer. We need somebody to take the lead on serving and growing that audience.
• You’ll be the primary editorial stakeholder for The Inquirer’s alerts strategy. What alerts do we offer? How are they best delivered? What type of coverage should we be alerting to more, or less?
• Evaluate the Inquirer journalism that is best suited for notifications each day and develop short- and long-term distribution plans for alerts across our mobile app and email lists.
• Track the engagement performance of alerts and compile reports and feedback for key stakeholders working on The Inquirer’s digital strategy. Use this data to inform and evolve our approach to notifications.
• This position will work closely with our Senior Newsletter Strategist on the execution and evolution of our email distribution strategy. Collaboration will be required to navigate the lines between newsletters and email notifications and this position will play a key role in complementing our newsletter portfolio.

• Someone who is comfortable calling the shots. This position will need to take ownership of our alerts portfolio and make decisions on how and when to optimize our journalism for alerts, working with and guiding colleagues in executing those plans.
• The ability to work quickly and under pressure in breaking news situations is required.

• A passion for news and familiarity with news industry editorial standards and best practices.

This position is based in the Greater Philadelphia area and will work within The Inquirer’s hybrid work model. There will be flexibility to work many shifts from home.

Core duties
• Update stories to make them more accurate, accessible, inclusive, and useful
• Help manage and maintain service inventory and updates calendar for everything we publish
• Pitch, write, and edit stories that are sometimes outside of your areas of expertise, as necessary
• Write reported stories and analysis as needed, and curate content from other outlets and social media

• Strong writing and editing skills
• Adept at using social media for discovery, research and distribution
• Ability to use digital metrics to set goals, evaluate progress and inform adjustments
