Opportunity Snapshot
This position offers you the opportunity to leverage cutting edge technology as you help develop emerging products in a high profile role. Not only will you have the gratification of seeing your work published online almost immediately, but rich and emerging media also get the attention of our senior leadership and your successes will be noticed. You'll learn new technologies and spend about half your time in new product development and refinement. In addition to sharing in the challenge and satisfaction of helping transform what is currently a newspaper and broadcast company into an interactive media powerhouse, you'll be in a position to take advantage of the "upward draft" of opportunity created by that transformation.
You will coordinate with Creative Services, IT, our field locations, and external vendors to test, implement and sometimes create from scratch rich and emerging media across the network of Freedom Communications, one of the nation's largest media corporations. To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have solid knowledge of HTML or JavaScript -- at least manipulating code, if not actually writing it. We'll also consider candidates with strong ad ops experience and a demonstrated aptitude for learning technologies like DHTML quickly. We're looking for a professional who can manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. Formal QA experience is strongly preferred.
Freedom Interactive is a division of Freedom Communications, headquartered in Irvine, CA. Freedom Interactive owns and operates web sites coast to coast, each offering up-to-the-minute breaking news stories, extensive local content, and trusted local news coverage on demand. The company's web sites are associated with various Freedom Communications media properties including over 100 newspapers and magazines, such as The Orange County Register, as well as eight leading broadcast television stations.
What Else You'll Bring to the Table
In addition to the qualifications detailed above, you'll need:
What's in It for You
High visibility -- rich and emerging media represents not only the future direction of our company (the Interactive Division is one of FCI's major corporate initiatives for the next few years), but a significant revenue stream. It won't be unusual for senior executives to stop by and congratulate you on your successes.
High impact -- while you'll invest a fair amount of your time handling day-to-day trafficking, you'll also devote about half your time to developing new products and processes. In addition to providing other team members with technical training, you'll provide them with insights into new features and sales strategies.
Career development -- our success depends on our staying on the leading edge of online media, and you'll learn new technology and techniques on an ongoing basis. Your success in this role could set you up to pursue a number of opportunities within the growing Interactive Division and throughout Freedom Communications.
The best of both worlds -- you'll enjoy the entrepreneurial energy of a new venture as well as the stability and resources of Freedom Communications, Inc, with revenues approaching $1 billion.
Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive base salary and bonus incentive program, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, a generous allotment of paid time off, and more.
Shaping a New Interactive Division
Launched in late 2006, Freedom Interactive is taking the lead in delivering relevant news, entertainment, and local information to a uniquely educated and affluent interactive audience through more than 40 top news and information sites and hundreds of niche sites coast to coast. Our web sites and interactive programs are associated with our various media properties including over 1000 newspapers and magazines and nine broadcast stations.
Importantly, our web sites and interactive programs are not only extensions of strong Freedom Communications brands providing users valuable news and information, but also exciting destinations for original content, engaging video, and powerful interactive tools. We are experiencing tremendous success in our new Interactive Division, which acts as a centralized resource for all of our print and broadcast business units as well as leader for corporate-wide interactive initiatives.
More About Your Role
If you're a good fit for this position, you already know most of what this job entails. However, to be sure we're providing a complete picture, here are some details.
You will be the dedicated rich media "guru" on a team that also includes six Client Services Managers (CSMs), and you'll work closely with and learn from our Senior Manager of Ad Ops, Interactive (to whom you will report), who also has rich media expertise. You will interact with clients to an extent, although for the most part the CSMs will work with customers and escalate rich media to you.
For the most part you'll divide your attention between two key activities:
In addition, you activities will include:

The Interactive Division continues to evolve, and you'll need to remain flexible, bringing a can-do attitude and a resourceful approach to achieving your goals. In addition, in order to be an outstanding Rich Media Specialist, you will:
