Multi-Platform Producer

Job Description

As a Multi-Platform Producer for Connect the World with Becky Anderson, you are an innovator, a risk-taker, and an enterprising self-starter who's passionate about telling stories to CNN's global audiences on television and online. You're as comfortable imagining, pitching and executing your own vision for multi-platform projects for the Emmy award-winning show as you are collaborating with the daily broadcast programming team. Alongside broadcast, you live and breathe online content: you know what'll make a strong, long-form Digital piece; you can list the top five trending topics on Twitter at the drop of a hat; and you've scripted packages for television.
Ideally, you'll have experience embedded within a broadcast team including control room outputting. You'll spend much of your time conceiving and executing compelling projects in and from the Middle East, and you know how to make your video and copy-content resonate with an international audience. You know that great content is great content, so you'll help cultivate the very best of what's on the television show for delivery across platforms and you've spent years building and maintaining social profiles, so you know how to grab the audience's attention and drive significant audience numbers. You're excited to make this brand-new role your own and can't wait to…Connect the World.

• Ensuring that all Connect the World projects – from interviews, to outside broadcasts, to daily production – have bespoke elements designed to be Digital first.

Qualifications & Experience…
• Proven Digital editorial and production experience; broadcast journalism experience preferred.
• Strong track record in delivering exceptional projects across Digital and Social platforms.
• Demonstrable knowledge of current affairs and the Middle East.
• Able to demonstrate exceptional writing skills.
• Self-starter, with an ability to enterprise ideas and flawlessly bring them to life
