Responsibilities
NBC will soon launch a new digital-first team of reporters, filmmakers, animators, tinkerers, engagement producers and video journalists tasked with rethinking what video news and features could and should look like in 2017.
This yet to be named studio will be an independent, off-site division of NBC News aimed at experimenting with emerging technologies and developing a sleek video news offering in new and rapidly growing spaces on mobiles and broader digital spaces.
Our aim is to push boundaries in video by toying with technology, thinking about data, employing smart design and challenging what an American broadcaster should look like in the 21st Century. And we’ll begin our journey by developing innovative video products in several areas, including news analysis, documentaries, live and VR — all while taking advantage of creative treatments as well as NBC’s internal mountain of archive.
What does a mash-up of young filmmakers, journalists, hackers and a US media goliath that helped develop television look like? That’s what we’re coming together to figure out.
Job Duties
We’re seeking a brilliant audience engagement producer and creative storyteller to help run our social media accounts. We’re looking for someone who not only knows how to interact with online communities through great content but someone who can devise new strategies on the fly and leverage participation in threads and comments sections.
This role will be responsible for supporting our video creators, writing social headlines and scheduling posts. We want you to get your hands dirty. But we also want you to collect data and conceptualize how we might take advantage of NBC’s existing massive audience.
We are building this unit and these new products together. We expect you to experiment and hatch schemes for getting our content into the eyes and hears of our viewers. And then we want you to turn around and leverage conversations about that content in new and interesting ways.
We supply the raw materials and you help build the social empire.
In addition to the tasks listed above, you’ll help us build these accounts from the ground up, brand them and own them.
We want someone who has been waiting to challenge the status quo of how social media positions have operated in the past at new organizations. Surprise us. Here is your opportunity.
