Salary: $80,000–$100,000
Reports to: Founder and Storytelling Lead (Brendan Lowe)

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Storyteller to join our team and deepen our work in positive, proactive, people-centered storytelling. This is a hands-on role for a multimedia storyteller who relishes conducting interviews and has a knack for identifying compelling story angles, developing them thoughtfully, and executing across platforms. The ideal candidate is passionate about social impact and brings conviction to their work.

This is neither a behind-the-scenes nor an entry-level role. The Senior Storyteller will engage with clients, pitch stories to journalists and influencers, collaborate with colleagues, and help move ideas from conversation to execution. The Senior Storyteller is expected to coordinate effectively with clients and practice ethical storytelling with the individuals who are placing their trust in us. 

We work across the country, particularly in the Heartland, and across media types with a range of messengers, from senior government leaders to foundation executives to high school students. We are looking for someone who is captivated by that range and ready to build on it.

Key Responsibilities

Qualifications

• 7+  years of experience in journalism, public relations, external affairs, or narrative storytelling
• Exceptional interviewing and writing skills
• Strong track record of developing story angles by taking a kernel of an idea all the way through to an outstanding final product
• Experience building relationships with reporters and/or influencers and successfully pitching stories/op-eds
• Comfort engaging directly with clients and partners
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines and exercise excellent judgment in fluid and fast-paced environments
• Deep alignment with Each Day’s values: growth, humility, integrity

Diversity
