QUALIFICATIONS: We are in search of an energetic, talented, and ambitious executive director to lead our organization. Publishing and/or nonprofit experience is helpful, but leadership ability, enthusiasm, reliability, and a sense of humor are the most essential qualifications.

The position offers a unique opportunity to shape a growing organization, gain an intensive education in independent media, online journalism, and nonprofit administration, and work with other individuals with a passion for issues of diversity, human rights, and social justice. We are looking for a candidate who can stay with the organization for the long run.

RESPONSIBILITIES: The executive director will oversee our development and marketing operations and work with other staff in several key areas. These areas include: increasing the magazine's visibility and expanding its readership through advertising, events, and other kind of marketing; obtaining funding for the magazine through foundation/corporate grants, individual donations, and advertising; and handling administrative tasks such as recordkeeping and budgeting. The executive director will manage the business staff and recruit new staff as needed. Duties will be delegated to the business staff.

Potential candidates should plan to spend at least 10 hours each week fulfilling these responsibilities, and should be able to commit to a minimum of six months in this position. All work for this position can be conducted remotely, though we have a preference for candidates based in New York, where a majority of our staff is located.

COMPENSATION: INTHEFRAY has long been an all-volunteer venture, but we have started paying our staff small honorariums, which we plan to increase as the organization grows. For the executive director position, this would be $750 annually, paid in two installments at the successful completion of each six-month period.
