Over the past two years, "The Interview" has made itself a trustworthy New York Times brand and a destination, where artists (Mick Jagger, Nicolas Cage, Charlize Theron), politicians (Zohran Mamdani, Chuck Schumer), athletes (Karl-Anthony Towns), influential figures in the media (Megyn Kelly, Andrew Schulz, Tucker Carlson), at the center of a story (Scott Pelley, Gisele Pelicot) and beyond sit down for thoughtful, wide-ranging, challenging, fun, news-making conversations about their lives and ideas. And now we are looking for the next Executive Producer to lead the show. We're looking for a senior editorial leader with strong, relevant experience running a video show, working with hosts (we have two great ones: Lulu Garcia-Navarro and David Marchese) and leading show teams made up of talented staffers with audio and video backgrounds.
