Job Description

NBC News is seeking a seasoned, driven Producer to support newsgathering, storytelling, and live production across all platforms. This role will work closely with a Correspondent and production teams to pitch, develop, report, and execute compelling journalism-from breaking news to in-depth features, investigative reporting to national coverage.

The ideal candidate is a creative journalist with sharp editorial judgment, strong writing and research skills, and the confidence to thrive under pressure. This producer should be equally at home in the field, on location, or in the control room, and adept at delivering both live and taped segments that meet NBC's highest editorial standards. The ideal candidate is a news junkie who can't wait to get out the door and, on the road, to cover that next story. This producer should also enjoy storytelling for morning television, an evening newscast and everything in between. The ability to shoot and edit is a plus, along with a sense of what does well on social media or in vertical video formats.

This role is right for you if you're a versatile storyteller who thrives on urgency and impact. You move seamlessly between producing, reporting, and writing, and you're as comfortable leading coverage during breaking news as you are crafting enterprise stories. You're highly organized, competitive, and relentless about accuracy and detail-yet collaborative, adaptable, and energized by working with correspondents and teams under tight deadlines. Most importantly, you're passionate about journalism that informs, engages, and makes a difference.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with Correspondent and show teams to develop, report, and deliver strong, visually compelling stories with clear narratives and well-researched journalism.
• Pitch, field produce, write, and fact-check stories across NBC News linear and streaming platforms, including daily news, longform pieces, and cross-platform content.
• Conduct original reporting, deep research, and source interviews.
• Secure guest bookings in a competitive environment; conduct pre-interviews and prepare talking points.
• Ability to travel at a moment's notice to cover a story and commit to staying on the road as long as the story takes.
• Collaborate with control rooms, senior producers, and editorial teams to build rundowns, write intros, and produce live and taped segments.
• Oversee field operations, including live shots, remote anchor setups, and breaking news coverage.
• Track and manage correspondent's schedule when working with them closely.
• Work closely with editors to ensure high-quality video packages, graphics, and sound.
• Partner with Standards & Legal to ensure all content adheres to editorial and corporate guidelines.
• Maintain strong communication between the Correspondent, senior leadership, and production teams.
• Contribute ideas for a wide range of content including news-of-day, lifestyle features, celebrity interviews, and human-interest stories.

• Strong ability to navigate newsroom tools and technology (Slack, NCX, Latakoo, etc.)
• Proven ability to work in fast-paced environments under tight deadlines.
• Must be willing to work nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime with short notice.
