This position requires someone who is a leader, self-motivated, results-oriented, and professional with a minimum of 3-5 years previous broadcast sales or related sales experience. Superior communications skills, both oral and written, are a must. Comprehensive knowledge of the media industry, especially in the Tucson area, a plus.

KXCI is a community radio station celebrating its 25th year of broadcasting. We operate out of a old boarding house that was built in 1903 for the railroad workers in the heart of downtown Tucson. We broadcast music, news, and public affairs programming to the greater part of southern Arizona. We operate with a small staff and committed volunteer base. We are also in the process of an inclusive strategic planning process to be completed by the end of the year. We have an active membership department (2800+ members) and stable base of underwriting support. The weather is perfect most of the year and the cost of living is reasonable for a metropolitan area of over 1 million people.
