Are you passionate about making a difference in the world through investigative journalism? At WhoWhatWhy, we’re looking for a dedicated HR Business Partner to help build and sustain a strong editorial team that produces fearless reporting. Join us in our mission to strengthen democracy through investigative journalism and innovative HR strategies.
WhoWhatWhy is a nonprofit organization that digs deep to uncover hidden truths and provides meaningful answers on the great issues of our time. We’re not funded by a zillionaire or driven by corporate interests—we’re powered by skilled volunteers and a small core team who believe in our mission and values. Here, you’ll find a vibrant community of students, retirees, and professionals from all walks of life, united in a shared purpose.
Join us, and help shape the future of investigative journalism!
As an HR Business Partner for Editorial, you will lead HR initiatives to support the newsroom. You will work closely with leadership, project managers, and administrative staff to recruit, onboard, and retain top volunteer talent while ensuring HR policies align with the department’s journalistic integrity and production workflow.
Previous experience in a nonprofit, newsroom, or media organization is a plus!
Expectations:
As a member of our team, you will work closely with leaders across various departments. We ask all team members to commit to a minimum of 10 hours per week and to maintain high responsiveness through Slack, email, and conference calls. Additionally, we request a commitment of at least 12 months to ensure continuity and meaningful contributions to our mission.
