At McClatchy, we’re transforming how media and insights companies connect with their audiences - and we’re looking for a Demand Generation Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, AI-enabled environment.

- Comfortable with marketing automation platforms (HubSpot or similar), audience segmentation, and campaign attribution reporting
- Eager to experiment, adapt, and grow in a culture that values curiosity, speed, and visible ownership of outcomes
Join us as we reimagine the future of media and insights - where every audience matters, every signal counts, and bold marketing drives real results.
