WilliNet is ready for its next bold chapter and we’re looking for a dynamic Executive Director to

help write it. WilliNet TV is Williamstown’s community media hub - a PEG (Public, Educational,

and Government) access station where town government meets creativity, where school events

share airtime with local sports, and where residents don’t just watch media… they make it. We

believe access to media is access to voice and access to voice is essential to a healthy

democracy.

This role is for a leader who gets excited about that. We’re seeking someone who sees

storytelling as civic power. Someone who thrives on connection - building partnerships,

mentoring creators, collaborating with local officials, and bringing new ideas to life. This is an

opportunity to shape how a community communicates with itself. WilliNet broadcasts town

meetings, school committee discussions, cultural events, athletics, and locally produced

programming on Charter/Spectrum channels 1301, 1302, and 1303. Programming streams on

willinet.org and on our streaming app on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV. And behind the

scenes, we provide residents free access to equipment, training, and the tools to turn ideas into

productions.

The Executive Director is both the steady hand and the spark - guiding daily operations while

driving vision and growth. You’ll oversee programming and distribution, supervise a part-time

Production Manager, steward finances and fundraising, maintain facilities and equipment, and

cultivate strong relationships with community partners and the Board of Directors. We're

looking for someone who is strategic and creative, organized and imaginative, and a strong

communicator who understands both production workflows and community dynamics. Most of

all, we want a leader who believes that local stories matter and who is energized by helping

people tell them. If you’re ready to champion community media and strengthen civic life in

Williamstown, we’d love to hear from you. For a more detailed list of job responsibilities, please

see below.

Williamstown is in northwestern Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshires, approximately

three hours from New York City, Boston, and Burlington, Vermont, and is home to Williams
