This role is crucial in making sure our products reach subscribers promptly and reliably, supporting the heart of our business.

About the Role

As the Audience Development Manager, you’ll be the key player in overseeing the entire delivery process—from the printing press all the way to our contractors and subscribers. You’ll also be responsible for managing company vehicles and leading the team that handles bundles and dock operations. Your mission is to ensure smooth, efficient, and safe distribution while fostering strong relationships with everyone involved in the process.

• Maintain ongoing communication with the production facility and participate in internal staff meetings.
• Ensure all company vehicles and equipment are kept in safe, reliable working order.

What We’re Looking For

While experience in distribution management is valuable, we’re equally interested in candidates who have a proactive attitude, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to team safety and customer satisfaction. If you’re detail-oriented, able to juggle multiple priorities, and enjoy working collaboratively, you’ll fit right in.

Why Work With Us?
