Why Join Noisy Creek
This is an opportunity to lead sales for two of the most beloved alternative weeklies in the country while helping build a profitable, sustainable model that strengthens civic life in the Pacific Northwest. As Regional Sales Manager, you will shape how a growing media company brings its products to market — with real ownership, a close-knit team, and the chance to make a visible impact in Seattle and Portland.
Noisy Creek is a growing media company dedicated to invigorating beloved and trusted alternative media across the United States. We are a multi-platform business with digital and print media properties in a growing number of markets across the U.S. Our initial papers were The Stranger in Seattle and the Portland Mercury. We recently added Chicago’s Reader to our portfolio. Additionally, we have EverOut (an event discovery brand), a ticketing platform, and additional lines of work in podcasts and live events.
At their best, these publications are the lifeblood of civic life, culture, and politics in their communities. Noisy Creek exists to sustain and scale this model, building the most influential local media company in the country by leaning into local voices and supporting them with new and diverse revenue products.
