Then you should join the CNN Digital Programming Team.

We take the extraordinary content of CNN -- from text to videos to interactives -- curate and organize them for CNN's own digital platforms, from CNN.com on phones and desktop to the CNN app and other platforms.

Your New Role...

• Programming producers are obsessed with finding that perfect headline, image and curation of stories. They worry about homepages, article pages and section fronts.
• They take initiative to recognize programming needs, and they work with more senior team members to make sure the needs are met. They may help provide guidance to the team’s associate producers. They interact with internal and external peers and managers to share and receive feedback on key initiatives.
• Programming producers are seen internally as go-to people for how to get compelling essential journalism seen and shared. To that end, all producers think like readers/swipers/watchers/listeners and help connect disparate digital dots to the benefit of global audiences second-by-second, minute-by-minute.
• They will master all of CNN’s hot-seat duties, including alerts and @cnnbrk tweets, and also partner with SEO team to maximize search visibility.
• They are addicted to audience analytics and A/B testing.

Your Role Accountabilities...

• They help execute those projects, watching a wide range of audience data closely, optimizing content as needed.
• Digital producers are thoughtful and creative planners, and ace collaborators, working with video and photo teams, social teams, the global digital news desk, vertical teams and beyond. They are excellent givers of feedback, and they participate in post-mortems and other conversations about sharpening our programming around key projects.
• They may contribute to the conception and planning of programming for short- and medium-term projects.
• They suggest ideas and/or execute programming strategies that contribute to the life of content, from publication through ongoing refreshes and updates.
• They have a deep knowledge of digital content in many forms -- articles, videos, galleries, social content, interactives, podcasts, etc. -- across the entire portfolio and create compelling digital packages for distribution on a wide range of platforms.

Qualifications & Experience...

• Excellent writing and editing skills.
• Willingness to work nights and/or weekends.
• Multiple years of related experience.
