IndigiNews is hiring for two new positions
We’re looking for an Operations Manager and Audience Engagement Editor to join our team
IndigiNews is excited to announce that we are hiring for two new positions in our award-winning newsroom.
Until January 5, we are accepting applications for two roles: Operations Manager and Audience Engagement Editor. These positions are with IndigiNews and our parent company, tâpwêwin media.
Both are brand new positions that will accommodate our growing storytelling lodge into its next phase in 2026.
If you are a creative, strategic thinker with strong cultural values and a passion for Indigenous storytelling, we hope to hear from you.
Operations Manager
The Operations Manager oversees tâpwêwin media’s core financial, operational, and HR functions. This role is central to ensuring that our systems, workflows, and relationships support sustainable growth and values-aligned storytelling.
Working closely with the CEO/Publisher and the leadership team, the Operations Manager stewards internal processes, supports staff wellbeing and accountability, and ensures operational integrity across the organization.
Audience Engagement Editor
The Audience Engagement Editor shapes how our stories reach, resonate with, and remain accountable to our readers. You will lead IndigiNews’ social media presence, newsletter publishing, and audience strategy to ensure our journalism is accessible, engaging, relationship-centred, and culturally grounded.
This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will grow and steward relationships with our readers, develop data-informed engagement approaches, and help create pathways for community feedback and dialogue. You will also support editorial collaboration and contribute to audience-facing fundraising campaigns.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working within Indigenous communities, familiar with cultural protocols, and excited to be part of a kinship-based newsroom that values care, accountability, and creativity.

We live in a media ecosystem that thrives on misinformation. Big Tech and AI companies are consuming the work of real human beings and Canadian news has been banned on Facebook and Instagram.
And yet, I have hope for journalism because of the work we’re doing at IndigiNews.
At IndigiNews, we embody tâpwêwin — the Cree value of integrity and responsibility in truth-telling. We are committed to our independent, Indigenous-led newsroom rooted in community, accountability, and relationality. We believe storytelling is a sacred fire that connects our pasts, presents, and futures through the storytellers in our Storytelling Lodge. IndigiNews creates space for Indigenous journalists, storytellers, Knowledge Keepers, and communities to gather, learn, and share stories that matter.
As a registered charity, we are building a fire that allows our work not just to ignite but to thrive. Rather than relying on advertising or corporate acquisition, IndigiNews is sustained by people like you who believe Indigenous stories are important for the future of our communities.
Your support is making a real difference.
Our community of supporters, our Firekeepers, make it possible to grow our newsroom, publish award-winning journalism, train emerging Indigenous journalists through initiatives like the ReFocus Photojournalism Fellowship, and publish trustworthy stories that serve our communities across the country. Every story we publish helps fill in gaps left by mainstream media and ensures Indigenous perspectives are represented with care, accuracy and respect.
But there is still more work to do.
As the media landscape becomes more and more uncertain, community support is as necessary and essential as it’s ever been. Every new Firekeeper helps protect the independence of our newsroom and strengthens journalism that is accountable to our many and varied communities over corporations.
That’s why we’re inviting you to become a Firekeeper.
Firekeepers tend to and protect the sacred fire. Your monthly contributions directly support IndigiNews’s Storytelling Lodge, helps sustain our independent, Indigenous-led newsroom, and ensures future generations of Indigenous storytellers have the resources they need to do the work.
As a registered Canadian charity, all eligible donations receive a charitable tax receipt.
If you believe Indigenous stories matter, if you value independent journalism, and if you want to help build a strong future for Indigenous media, we invite you to join our circle of Firekeepers today.
Together, we can keep the fire burning.
— Eden Fineday, Publisher, IndigiNews
