  • Support and guide script writing and visual approaches for effective short form videos.

  • Review, assign and provide feedback on stories.

  • Oversee production across multiple projects.

  • Guide interviews and shoots as needed.

  • Manage video journalists on the team.

  • Deepen integration with coverage desks through strong relationships, serving as a connective bridge to video leadership.

  • Collaborate and coordinate on weekend breaking news coverage.

  • Demonstrate support and understanding of ourย value of journalistic independenceย and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.

  • This role reports to the senior executive producer, Reporter Video.

Basic Qualifications:

  • 8+ years producing digital news videos.

  • 4+ years experience managing video journalists.

  • Broad and in depth experience in digital or broadcast news.

  • Demonstrated deep command of a variety of visual devices including original footage, motion graphics, and archival footage.

  • Understanding of mainstream and emerging social channels.

  • Understanding of Times standards of journalistic excellence and truthfulness.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Excellent writing, editing and communication skills.

  • Expert knowledge of current events in the US and internationally.

  • Familiar with digital storytelling formats.

  • Flexibility to work extended hours.
