Web Producer at Triple Canopy

Start date: August 1, 2022
Commitment: Two to four days per week
Compensation: $30–$32/hour, commensurate with experience, with benefits

Triple Canopy, a nonprofit magazine located in Manhattan, seeks a Web Producer. Triple Canopy publishes and presents work by artists, writers, and researchers, primarily through the magazine’s digital platform but also in books, conversations, performances, videos, and podcasts, among other media and experiences.

We’re looking for someone who is currently engaged with contemporary digital publishing technologies and shares our belief in magazines as testing grounds for new ideas and forms of expression. The magazine is committed to the role of artists, writers, and technologists in shaping our understanding of the world and enabling us to glimpse alternatives to the present. We strive to bring together disparate voices, styles, and experiences, with an emphasis on those that have too often been marginalized, and we hope that the Web Producer will be excited to join us in this work. We especially encourage applications from candidates who come from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the fields of technology and publishing.

In the coming months, Triple Canopy will launch a new website that reflects changes to our editorial program and efforts to engage with readers. To help us in this work, we’re looking for a Web Producer who is meticulous, communicative, highly organized, and cares about thoughtfully collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. The Web Producer will implement all projects on Triple Canopy’s publishing platform—producing and implementing digital assets; formatting final publication files for Triple Canopy’s custom content presentation framework—as well as formatting, uploading, and laying out media on third-party platforms. The Web Producer will define and maintain the day-to-day character of the magazine’s website. To that end, the Web Producer will coordinate development requests with software developers.

The Web Producer should be comfortable working independently and collaborating with editorial staff, designers, and software developers. The Web Producer will report to the Deputy Editor. Additionally, the Web Producer will manage freelance media producers and design staff to work on the execution of editorial projects and will work with other staff on the maintenance of the publication schedule and budget.

Qualifications:

• Proficiency with common web publishing technologies such as CSS and HTML, as well as proficiency formatting media files with the Adobe Creative Suite
• Experience using project-management tools for software development (Github, Trello)
• Experience managing budgets, tracking payments (including freelance staff) is a plus, with a willingness
to be trained on the job
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Exceptional self-management and communication skills

This is a part-time position that includes subsidized benefits and is based at Triple Canopy’s office in Manhattan. Our staff is currently working with a hybrid model to accommodate remote and in-person work. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and resumé to [email protected].
