About the role

KJAN Radio in Atlantic, Iowa is seeking a News/Farm Director to lead local coverage, cover city, county, and school meetings in southwest Iowa, build relationships with local leaders, and create news and farm content for on-air and digital platforms. You will gather weather information, record and archive local news for air, manage the newsroom, and may work nights and weekends when duty calls. A competitive salary and benefits package is provided.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
