Your New Role…

The Editorial Producer for “King Charles” plays a big and active role in developing, launching, and programming this highly anticipated show hosted by Gayle King and Charles Barkley. This person must be highly creative and curious, with a great appreciation for the zeitgeist and popular culture, while also having outstanding news judgement. You’ll be working with a small team, embedded within a larger team, charged with planning and producing one hour of live and interactive television each week.

A successful candidate must be a self starter who needs minimal direction and supervision, but can also assimilate quickly into a new culture and play really well with others.

A positive, “can do,” attitude is essential.
