Description:
Sports Editor-
The Montana Standard in Butte is seeking an innovative,
digital-first sports leader to work with a statewide team of editors and
reporters to drive coverage of local high school athletics, two NCAA Division I
universities and six NAIA colleges.
The ideal candidate will be a jack-of-all-trades. You’ll
edit and coach. You’ll write. You’ll network and build relationships. You’ll
organize and strategize coverage – including video and photo elements. You’ll
have a hands-on role for social media. You’ll use analytics to inform
decision-making. This position will include direct management of one sports
reporter in the Butte newsroom and report to the statewide sports director.
The Standard sports editor will also play a prominent
leadership role for 406mtsports.com, the statewide sports website for Lee
Enterprises, bringing together coverage from across the Last Best Place –
including high schools from Billings to Missoula, the Big Sky Conference with
Montana and Montana State, and the NAIA’s Frontier Conference including Montana
Tech in Butte and Montana Western in Dillon.
406mtsports is Lee Enterprises’ fastest-growing digital
sports platform – and we’re only going to keep building in 2024 and beyond.
The fifth largest city in Montana with a population of about
35,000, Butte is situated in the northern Rocky Mountains on the Continental
Divide and known internationally as the “Richest Hill on Earth” for its deep
history of mining gold, silver, and copper. Uptown Butte – don’t call it
downtown – is on the National Register of Historic Places with an
architecturally pleasing downtown and one of the neatest restaurants in the
state, Casagranda’s Steakhouse.
There are two major retail developments in the works in
Butte, which is located about an hour west of Bozeman and two hours southeast
of Missoula on Interstate 90.
