Content Creator Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Indy Now is looking for an energetic, curious, highly prepared host who can help lead a daily lifestyle show built around the people, places, businesses, events, food, culture, and conversations that make Central Indiana feel alive.
This is not a traditional anchor role. The ideal host is part interviewer, part storyteller, part community ambassador, part sales partner, and part social content creator. They should be comfortable moving from a live cooking segment to a sponsored client interview to a community event preview to a heartfelt local story, all while keeping the show warm, conversational, credible, and fun.
The host must be able to connect with guests, viewers, clients, and the community in a way that feels natural and local. Indy Now succeeds when it feels like Indianapolis is talking to itself
Key Responsibilities
Host live and recorded segments for Indy Now across broadcast, streaming, digital, social, and community platforms.
Prepare for interviews by reviewing segment notes, client information, talking points, and show rundowns before air.
Conduct engaging, conversational interviews with local businesses, community leaders, nonprofits, chefs, performers, experts, and station partners.
Represent the show and station at community events, client appearances, station initiatives, and sponsored activations.
Work closely with producers, sales, creative, digital, and station leadership to ensure segments are entertaining, accurate, compliant, and valuable to viewers and partners.
Help create and participate in social media content, including behind-the-scenes videos, short-form segments, teases, reels, and other digital extensions of the show.
Support sponsored content while maintaining clear viewer trust, proper disclosures, and the editorial tone of the program.
Bring ideas to the table for segments, recurring franchises, community partnerships, seasonal shows, and digital-first content.
Stay current on local events, restaurants, businesses, trends, entertainment, lifestyle topics, and conversations happening around Central Indiana.
Maintain a professional, upbeat, flexible presence in a fast-moving daily production environment.
Other duties as assigned.
What We're Looking For
A natural communicator who can make guests feel comfortable and viewers feel invited.
Strong on-camera presence with warmth, confidence, humor, and authenticity.
Ability to handle live television, timing changes, breaking format adjustments, and unexpected moments with composure.
Excellent interview skills, including listening, follow-up questions, pacing, and the ability to find the human part of a segment.
Strong local curiosity and a genuine interest in Indianapolis and Central Indiana.
Comfort with sponsored content, client-facing environments, and sales-supported programming.
Experience creating or appearing in social media video content.
A collaborative attitude and the ability to work well with producers, sales teams, photographers, editors, guests, clients, and station talent.
Strong writing, preparation, and communication skills.
Preferred Experience
Previous hosting, reporting, anchoring, podcasting, live event hosting, lifestyle programming, entertainment reporting, or social video experience.
Experience with daily television, branded content, sales-supported media, or community-focused programming.
Established connection to Indianapolis or strong ability to quickly build local knowledge and relationships.
Schedule
This position requires a flexible schedule based on production needs, including early mornings, occasional evenings, weekends, holidays, special events & tapings, client events, and community appearances.
The Right Fit
The right host understands that Indy Now is part show, part front porch, part marketplace, and part community bulletin board. They know how to be polished without feeling stiff, funny without forcing it, and client-friendly without sounding like a commercial.
The premier lifestyle show in the market is looking for the right person that should love local television, love people, and love finding the thing in a segment that makes viewers lean in.
