Business Manager - key role partnering with publisher; help drive strategy at voice of community
About the Job
This unique position offers you the opportunity to be a key member of the Sedalia Democrat's leadership team, acting as a business partner to the Publisher and other decision makers.
We're more than just a business, we are the voice of the community and you'll play a strategic role in driving that voice, from helping develop new ideas and opportunities to encouraging risk taking in an entrepreneurial atmosphere. You'll enjoy the "best of both worlds:" the small town culture of the Sedalia Democrat and the resources of Freedom Communication, Inc (FCI), one of the nation's largest media corporations.
In addition to leading all financial aspects of the Sedalia Democrat, from analyzing new opportunities to overseeing accounting activities, you will perform local human resources (HR) functions, although HR experience is not required.
To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have solid experience in finance and accounting, including a high level of proficiency with analytics and financial modeling. We're looking for a professional with strong leadership skills, supervisory experience and the ability to foresee opportunities and threats, and create plans to exploit or counter them. You also will need to be a creative thinker and team player.
The Sedalia Democrat serves print and online readers in an eight-county area of west-central Missouri. In spite of what you may have heard about the industry, we are the dominant advertising medium in our market -- we have strong reach and measurable impact that, simply put, kicks butt compared to radio and TV. Sedalia is a stable market with a low cost of living and good schools, located near recreational opportunities at Lake of the Ozarks and Truman Lake.
