Producer / Editor, Nbclx

Job Description

Responsibilities
NBCUniversal Local is looking for a bilingual (English/Spanish) digital video producer/editor to create original videos for digital platforms, from social media applications to websites and OTT platforms.

We are looking for a candidate with a proven ability to create videos that are shareable and have impact with a mobile/social audience. Our ideal candidate is someone who is full of ideas and can take a project from pitch to publication or take someone else's idea and produce it as if the idea was their own. The ideal candidate must also be able to shoot, edit and have some ability to create motion graphics. The producer/editor will be working on multiple pieces of content simultaneously, from quick-turn daily edits, to something that may take a week or more. The producer/editor will be part of a digital video innovation team working with the NBC Owned TV Stations, the Telemundo Station Group, the Regional Sports Networks and NBCLX.

This producer/editor will be part of our Digital Innovation Team, a unique group of content creators tasked with thinking outside the box in its storytelling approaches. Every day is unique, from working on breaking news to partnering with veteran broadcast reporters and producers to create digital versions of their broadcast content, re-imagining investigative stories, consumer content, mini-docs, explainers, lifestyle pieces, creating listicles and working with local teams on projects from a story's inception to its conclusion. In addition, the producer/editor has flexibility to seek out and pitch stories, series, concepts and see them through from pitch to publication.

The right candidate should love news (especially local), love editing, pitching concepts, enjoy finding innovative ways to tell stories, be a digital video consumer, have excellent people skills and be a team player. The ideal candidate is willing to try new things and comfortable working on an in-depth investigation of nuclear waste or the quirky viral talker story of the day. We are looking for a self-starter who always wants to create video-and is excited about the opportunity to create platform-specific content.
