Media Manager, Earth Journalism Network

ABOUT EJN

The Earth Journalism Network is one of the world's largest communities of environmental journalists — over 40,000 strong, spanning more than 180 countries. Housed within Internews, a global nonprofit media development organization, EJN exists to improve the quality and quantity of environmental reporting around the world through grants, fellowships, training, mentorship, and a rich digital platform.

GENERAL FUNCTION

As Media Manager, you'll lead EJN's editorial function — shaping how stories are told, ensuring content quality across our platforms, and helping journalists in our network do their best work. You'll manage a talented editorial team, oversee our website and newsletter, drive our grants and fellowships processes, and contribute meaningfully to business development and organizational strategy.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves editorial craft, cares deeply about environmental issues, and knows how to build and run systems that scale. You'll work closely with the Executive Director and serve as a key voice for EJN internally and externally.
