The Role
If you're the person your friends text for show recommendations, who knows which happy hour is actually worth going to, and who already has strong opinions about which Portland newsletters are doing it right: keep reading.
As Content Manager at DoPDX, you own the voice of how Portland experiences its own city — and you curate the chorus of voices that bring it to life. You're the bridge between the local scene and our audience, translating concerts, openings, festivals, food, and the moments in between into content that feels timely, trusted, and unmistakably Portland — whether the byline is yours or belongs to one of the Insiders you've brought into the fold.
Your voice, and the voices of insiders across Portland scenes, will come to life across multiple channels, with the daily email being the key (but not the only) way we connect with our audience. However, this role goes well beyond the inbox: you'll shape our website into the definitive guide to Portland culture, build relationships with local venues, promoters, and brands and lead a small team of contributors, freelancers, and interns whose work brings every corner of the city into focus. You'll secure ticket giveaways and exclusive experiences for our audience, own our social presence by creating and executing timely, hyper-local content, and engage directly with the readers who make this community what it is.
At DoStuff, we move fast, trust each other, and care a lot about getting the details right. You'll have real ownership over the product, the voice, and building a network of contributors to shape the market. In return, we expect someone who's genuinely obsessed with this stuff: who reads newsletters for fun, who's at the show on a Tuesday night, who notices the typo before anyone else, and who gets a real kick out of helping a contributor turn in their best work.
This is a full-time role based in Portland, with a total compensation range of $44k - $50k depending on experience — built for someone who lives and breathes this city and wants to shape how it's experienced.
What You’ll Do
• Own the daily newsletter—crafting engaging, well-written newsletters that reflect the best things happening in your city.
• Grow our newsletter audience—applying tactics to increase subscribers and ensure strong engagement.
• Maintain a high-quality website—curating event listings, updating venue and artist pages, and ensuring our content is useful and fresh.
• Execute sponsored content—integrating partner promotions naturally into our newsletters and website.
• Drive audience growth and engagement—analyzing performance metrics and iterating to improve open rates, click rates, and site traffic.
• Manage social media channels—creating content, engaging with followers, and ensuring our creator network is pushing out the appropriate amount of content to keep our channels active and engaged. 
• Manage local partnerships and community engagement—collaborate with venues, artists, and brands to secure ticket giveaways, exclusive promotions, and unique experiences for our audience. Respond to user inquiries across email, social, and other platforms to ensure a seamless and engaging experience.
• Ensure brand consistency and editorial quality—writing with a defined voice, maintaining high standards, and ensuring a seamless experience across platforms.
• **Build and oversee a network of content creators & freelancers **who specialize in areas like music, food, or niche events to ensure well-rounded content coverage.
Your ultimate mission is to ensure all of our content is engaging and relevant to a variety of local scenes by creating quality content, working with local promoters, using our technology & scrapers, and collaborating with others in the community. 
What We’re Looking For
• Someone obsessed with newsletters—you subscribe to them, read them, analyze them, and would be excited to write one every day.
• A strong, engaging short-form writer who can craft compelling newsletters and web content.

• Detail-oriented—you spot typos before anyone else, and accuracy is second nature.
• Regularly engaged in local culture and events—you go to concerts, comedy shows, festivals, and more.
• Self-motivated—you don’t need someone looking over your shoulder to stay productive.
• An active consumer of local and national newsletters, music blogs, and culture sites.
• Comfortable working with digital tools like CMS platforms, marketing software, and analytics.
• Experience managing contributors or freelancers – assigning work, editing drafts, giving feedback, and meeting deadlines.
