We’re excited to share this new job opening for a program director. Founded in 2020, the Trans Journalists Association supports a community of hundreds of trans journalists and advises the journalism industry with resources to reflect trans experiences accurately and humanely in the news. We do so through programming, training, and commentary — work that is crucial at a time when our communities are facing increasing restrictions on our civil and human rights.
Our growing association seeks to hire its second full-time staff member to support our programs, which include membership trainings, public records projects, professional development stipends, coverage advice, and in-person events. The person in this role will work closely with a dedicated board and our executive director.
The position is full-time and benefits-eligible. This is a fully remote job with flexible hours and some potential travel.
Our hiring process involves a phone screener, followed by a paid edit test, and then a panel interview.
We will review applications on a rolling basis. Apply on our Airtable form. Application materials sent in via other platforms may not be reviewed. Individual inquiries are OK, but we are a very small team and may not be able to respond.
We’re a community that supports journalists, newsrooms, and journalism organizations across the entire media ecosystem. Our membership is primarily U.S.-based, but we have a growing international cohort that also includes trans journalists in Canada, the UK, Singapore, Europe, and South America. We’re also building a growing network of members and allies who are invested in covering trans communities and fostering the professional development of trans journalists.
