About NowThisNowThis is redefining media for a new generation, leading the charge as a digital-first brand that resonates with over 98 million people globally each month. NowThis...is GenZTV. We're transforming scrolling to tuning in, by reinventing destination viewing through bingeable, social-first content that meets our audiences on the platforms where they live.
About The Role:
We're hiring a Supervising Producer to run the day-to-day video operation of NowThis Impact, the #1 progressive news brand online. Our social-first content reaches millions of people with coverage of politics, policies, and social issues in the United States. NowThis Impact goes beyond the headline. We get into the weeds of politics, policy, and power to make clear how they show up in people's lives. This person will decide what deserves our attention each day and help shape the smartest, most compelling way to cover it. You'll manage and develop members of the editorial team, lead daily coverage and workflows, and work closely with editorial leadership to put the account's broader strategy into practice. You should be able to sharpen a text-on-screen, help a producer tighten a script, and make the call when a big story breaks. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who cares deeply about social issues, understands social platforms, and knows how to make complex, consequential stories clear and compelling for a social audience.
