The posting

Nexstar Media Inc, America’s largest local broadcasting company, is seeking an experienced television professional to serve as Vice President/General Manager to oversee its media properties in the Quad Cities- Rock Island/Moline, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa (DMA #117). The Vice President/General Manager will have full oversight over Nexstar’s operations of WHBF (CBS), KGCW (The CW), and will oversee its operational agreements with Mission Broadcasting, providing services to KLJB (Fox), as well as ourquadcities.com and all other digital, mobile, and social assets for the stations.

The ideal candidate will be a digital-first leader with a proven record of driving revenue through advanced digital advertising solutions, new business development, and innovative sales strategies. The successful candidate will have led either a commercial television station with a strong digital advertising operation or a high-performing digital sales organization. Experience developing and scaling locally produced content across OTT, web, social, and linear platforms to expand audience reach and accelerate revenue growth is essential.

Success in this role requires strategic vision, disciplined execution, and the ability to build a highly collaborative, growth-oriented culture. The successful candidate will promote teamwork, innovation, operational excellence, and continuous improvement while developing strong relationships with employees, community leaders, and key clients. Experience managing a duopoly operation is preferred.

Candidates should have at least five years of senior management experience and a demonstrated ability to lead high-performing digital sales, broadcast sales, content, and news teams. The ability to collaborate effectively across departments, strengthen the station’s community presence, and translate emerging digital opportunities into measurable business results is essential.

Located along the Mississippi River, the Quad Cities region offers professionals an exceptional combination of career opportunity, affordability, and quality of life. Home to major employers in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, technology, and corporate operations, the area provides a strong and diverse economy while maintaining a cost of living well below that of larger metropolitan markets. Residents enjoy short commute times, vibrant downtown districts, riverfront recreation, award-winning cultural attractions, and easy access to Chicago, Des Moines, and other Midwest business hubs.

Compensation: $185k+ commensurate with experience and skill level. Position is eligible for bonuses and commissions.

If you are interested in joining the executive ranks of the Nexstar Media Inc, and making an impact in the Quad Cities, you are encouraged to apply online at www.nexstar.tv/careers/

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
