<p><strong>VICE x News</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The award-winning VICE News team develops and produces news content across VICE platforms and partner platforms. The digital news team focuses on unique and creative ways to relay global news and tell high-impact stories. This is a collaborative team that works together to make everyone’s projects better. We believe in listening to everyone’s ideas and bringing on a diverse group of people who love working together to make the best, most unique news content out there.</span></p>
<p><strong>Role x You</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a senior producer you will guide the editorial direction of digital videos for the VICE and VICE News YouTube channels and other digital platforms, by overseeing pieces and series and managing producers and associate producers. You have an exceptional handle on what makes a good story and know how to motivate and advise a team to get the best version of it. </span></p>
<p><strong>In the short term… </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">you will work with producers and APs to develop pitches for greenlight. You’ll have pre-production meetings to delve into angles, characters and story arcs, and help the team execute when they’re in the field. After deployments, you’ll edit, rewrite, and tweak scripts as needed, and work with the team throughout the editing process and final sign off by the EP. You will ensure all content adheres to the high editorial standards of Vice News. Expect to manage various shoots and stories at once.</span></p>
<p><strong>After 6 months in this role… </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll be developing edgier and more unique story ideas that set us apart, and making sure your ideas grow editorially. You’ll be regularly pitching new series and documentaries. You will grow into managing a team of 4-6 producers and associate producers.</span></p>
<p><strong>And after a year... </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll comfortably and independently lead editorial within the team, with a full understanding of what makes a Vice News story and digital production great.</span></p>
