Promotions Director – Portland Media Group Portland, ME
Looking for your next career move?
We’re Portland Media Group, and we’re hiring a Promotions Director to lead the promotions department for our eight radio brands.
This is a leadership role for someone who’s creative, highly organized and ready to turn ideas into events people remember. You’ll run every on-air and on-site promotion across our brands, from contests and remotes to concerts, community events and sponsor activations, taking each one from first idea to final recap.
You’ll work closely with our sales team to build promotions that deliver real results for clients and open doors with the business owners and decision makers they want to meet. If you enjoy big projects, tight deadlines and being part of a team that helps businesses succeed, you’ll thrive here.
You’ll work alongside our Director of Sales, Sales and Promotions Assistant and our Directors of Content from each radio brand to keep us front and center in the community. Our live events draw thousands of fans each year to raise money for local nonprofits and charities.
We’re what we call a Click, Visit, Call and Search media company. Our mission is simple: help our clients Get Wanted, Get Found and Get Chosen!
What we’re looking for:
✔ 3+ years in promotions, event marketing or a similar role; radio experience preferred but not necessary.
✔ Strong planning and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple events and deadlines.
✔ Proficiency with WordPress, website management, Photoshop and Illustrator or comparable tools.
✔ Experience running targeted social media campaigns.
✔ Excellent communication and customer fulfillment skills.
✔ Familiarity with vCreative, vPromotions and Aptivada/Audience is a plus.
✔ A love of live and recorded music.
✔ Availability for evenings and weekends as events may require, a valid driver’s license and the ability to lift 50 lbs.
What you’ll do:
• Plan and run radio brand promotions, contests, remotes and live events from start to finish.
• Build sponsor packages with sales team and deliver what was promised on air, on site and online.
• Host client events such as business breakfasts, VIP nights and concert hospitality that bring our sales team face to face with decision makers.
• Keep brand websites current in WordPress and create graphics in Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Run targeted social media campaigns for our brands and sponsors.
• Write contest rules and ensure FCC, sweepstakes and brand policy compliance.
• Manage prizes and fulfillment, the street team and the promotions vehicle.
• Deliver sponsor recaps with photos, attendance and results.
• Manage promotions budgets and vendor relationships.
What you’ll get:
• $49,000–$54,000 annual salary, based on experience.
• Health benefits, PTO, 401K and ongoing training.
• A creative role at the center of our brands’ concerts, contests and community events.
• A supportive team that wants to see you succeed.
• Career growth opportunities within Portland Media Group.
Every day is different, every event is unique, and this is a place that invests in its people. We’re committed to your growth, and if that sounds like your kind of opportunity, let’s talk.

PORTLAND MEDIA GROUP • NOW HIRING
Part-Time Sales Advisor
Flexible Schedule | Saga Communications – Portland Media Group | Portland, ME
Looking to make extra income while working on your own schedule? We’re looking for a motivated, people-oriented salesperson to help local businesses – especially restaurants – bring in new customers.
This is a part-time, flexible role where you’ll connect with business owners, introduce a simple marketing concept, and help them turn unused inventory (like gift certificates or experiences) into real growth and long-term customers.
You won’t need to be a marketing expert – we’ll show you how it works. What matters most is your ability to start conversations and build trust.
What You’ll Do
✔ Reach out to local businesses (primarily restaurants)
✔ Set up quick conversations (in-person or phone)
✔ Present a straightforward customer acquisition program
✔ Help businesses launch offers that bring in new customers
✔ Stay connected with clients and build relationships over time
Why This Role Stands Out
✔ Flexible schedule – work remotely the majority of the time
✔ Simple, proven concept – easy to explain and gain interest
✔ Solid earning potential – commission-based with upside
✔ Local focus – work directly with businesses in your community
✔ No heavy admin or complexity – focus on conversations and closing
What We’re Looking For
✔ Comfortable talking to people and building relationships
✔ Self-motivated and able to manage your own time
✔ Curious and willing to learn
✔ Experience in restaurants, hospitality, or customer-facing roles is a big plus
