Brand Manager - WOKQ

Brand Manager – WOKQ 97.5, Seacoast NH
Location: Portland, Maine
Company: Townsquare Media

Townsquare Media is seeking the next visionary Brand Manager to lead one of America's most legendary Country stations: WOKQ 97.5.

This is not just a job.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

After an extraordinary run, Ginny Rogers, who led WOKQ to continued ratings and revenue success—and was recently inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame—is retiring. In her words:

"WOKQ is more than a radio station—it's a way of life on the Seacoast. Whoever steps into this role will be stewarding a brand with deep roots, loyal fans, and a team that lives and breathes great Country radio."

WOKQ is a heritage powerhouse with decades of dominance in New England. From Boston to Maine to the White Mountains, it's the Country soundtrack for generations of fans. From fairs and festivals to artist showcases and exclusive content, WOKQ is the voice of the region. And bonus…you'll get to coach and collaborate with the hottest Country morning show in New England.
