Producer, Digital Programming and Distribution

Job Description

We aim to make the world a better, more connected place.

The Producer is responsible for taking the extraordinary content of CNN, curating and organizing it for CNN's own digital platforms, from CNN.com on phones and desktop to the CNN app and other platforms.

Your Role Accountabilities…
Do you have a thirst for news and knack for making it understandable to regular folks? Can you craft a headline or notification to make any story interesting? Are you cool under pressure and creative? Are you all about making news as engaging an experience as the rest of our digital lives? Then you should join the CNN Digital Programming and Distribution Team.

Programming and Distribution producers are obsessed with writing that perfect headline and presentation for CNN's powerful homepages. The producers are seen internally as go-to people for how to get compelling essential journalism seen and shared. To that end, all producers think like readers/swipers/watchers/listeners and help connect disparate digital dots to the benefit of global audiences second-by-second, minute-by-minute.

They will master all of CNN's hot-seat duties, including writing alerts, and also will partner with the SEO team to maximize search visibility. They are addicted to audience analytics and A/B testing. Digital producers are thoughtful and creative planners and ace collaborators.

While this is not a TV or video production job, the Producer will partner with the separate video and photo teams, social teams, the global digital news desk, vertical teams and beyond.

They take initiative to recognize programming needs, and they work with more senior team members to make sure the needs are met. They may help provide guidance to the team's associate producers.

They interact with internal and external peers and managers to share and receive feedback on key initiatives. They participate in post-mortems and other conversations about sharpening our programming around key projects.

They may contribute to the conception and planning of programming for short- and medium-term projects.

They help execute those projects, watching a wide range of audience data closely, optimizing content as needed.

They have a deep knowledge of digital content in many forms -- articles, galleries, social content, interactives, podcasts, etc -- across the entire portfolio and create compelling digital packages for distribution on a wide range of platforms.

They suggest ideas and/or execute programming strategies that contribute to the life of content, from publication through ongoing refreshes and updates.

Qualifications & Experience… 

4+ years editorial and digital news environment experience
Strong communication skills, excellent teamwork and interpersonal skills
Excellent writing, producing, and editing skills
Willingness to work nights and/or weekends.
