The go-to sports website in Montana is seeking an ambitious and enterprising reporter to cover high schools in southwestern Montana and be part of team coverage featuring two NAIA athletic programs.

This is a full-time position that will work out of The Montana Standard newsroom. The ideal candidate will be a jack-of-all-trades, writing features, covering games, building relationships, and helping to manage print page production.

406mtsports.com is Lee Enterprises’ statewide sports website, bringing together coverage from across the Last Best Place – including high schools from Billings to Missoula to Kalispell, the NCAA Division I Big Sky Conference with Montana and Montana State, and the NAIA’s Frontier Conference with Carroll College in Helena, Montana Tech in Butte, Montana Western in Dillon and Rocky Mountain College in Billings.

The fifth largest city in Montana with a population of about 35,000, Butte is situated in the northern Rocky Mountains on the Continental Divide. Uptown Butte – don’t call it downtown – is on the National Register of Historic Places with an architecturally pleasing downtown and one of the neatest restaurants in the state, Casagranda’s Steakhouse.

There are two major retail developments in the works in Butte, which is located about an hour west of Bozeman and two hours southeast of Missoula on Interstate 90.
