Job Description

NOW HIRING: Advertising Account Executive at The Chronicle

Are you a Duke student with excellent personable skills who wants to kick-start their career? Join The Chronicle’s advertising sales team!

We are recruiting for Fall 2026. You would be part of a tight-knit team of motivated undergraduates and would have the rare opportunity to have client-facing experience and be responsible for a large part of The Chronicle’s revenue.

Interview Timeline:

We are interviewing the week of February 9. We will be in touch with you in the week after interviews with our decision. We are hiring four account executives to replace our graduating seniors and accommodate some current reps going abroad in the fall.

Our Mission:
To cover the news of Duke and create a meaningful work experience for students. This will be great on your resume no matter what you do after graduation.

Some background on The Chronicle:
We are an independent nonprofit organization (and an officially recognized student group). Our main source of revenue is advertising sales and creative services including videography, graphic design and copywriting through our student-operated agency Pitch Story Lab. We have four professional staff members, about 20 students on business staff and over 100 students on editorial staff. Advertising revenue determines the budget of The Chronicle - this job is very important.

Job Requirements

The Basic Job Description:
You'll be assigned a territory to sell and manage a client base of businesses or campus departments/student groups interested in marketing themselves to the Duke community. The Chronicle will provide training, support and real-life experience. This is an undergraduate student position. Graduate students will not be considered.

Time Commitment:
Next school year, we'll need you to work daily Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. We need at least 8-10 hours a week (a little each day M-F) but you can split it up however it works best for you. You will commit to work hours so we (and your clients) will know when to expect you. We work hard to make this flexible so it works well in your class schedule and we cover for each other as needed.

We'll start training after spring break in late March but you’ll only need to commit to 1-2 hours a week. We also need some help this summer (first or second session) if you're going to be on campus.

The Pay:
You'll be paid an hourly wage that starts at $16.50 with annual raises.

To Apply:

Email your resume to ads@dukechronicle.com by Jan. 31.
