Job Description

PIX11 is looking for an exceptional Executive Producer, Digital to lead the evolution of our newsroom into a fully integrated, multiplatform operation.

This is not a traditional digital role. The Executive Producer will be a central editorial leader—responsible for breaking down silos between digital, broadcast, streaming, and social, and ensuring every story we produce lives across platforms in meaningful, audience-driven ways.

This leader will build, coach, and elevate a high-performing digital team; help drive the growth of PIX11+ (the streaming platform); and raise the entire newsroom’s fluency in how audiences consume news today.

Core Responsibilities

  • Lead & Build a High-Performance Digital Team
  • Set the vision, standards, and daily expectations for digital performance
  • Create accountability around metrics, content quality, and editorial judgment
  • Identify gaps and actively upskill the team in video, social, SEO, and analytics
  • Serve as a key voice in daily editorial decision-making alongside broadcast leadership
  • Ensure digital is present early in story conception, not just at the end
  • Push for stronger, smarter story framing that works across all platforms
  • Hold the newsroom accountable to multiplatform execution

Integrate Digital, Broadcast, and Streaming

  • Partner with show EPs, assignment editors, and producers to extend the life of every story
  • Create seamless workflows between linear, digital, and streaming
  • Ensure broadcast content is consistently optimized and repurposed for digital and CTV
  • Drive the evolution towards vertical video
  • Eliminate gaps where content is left underutilized or audience opportunities are missed
  • Participate in management on-call rotation for weekends

Drive the Growth of PIX11+

  • Work in lockstep with the Sr. Executive Producer, Streaming to build and grow PIX11+
  • Identify daily opportunities for live, near-live, and on-demand content on streaming
  • Support the promotion of PIX11+ across all platforms

Elevate Social & Audience Reach Across the Newsroom

  • Lead a newsroom-wide approach to social, not just a digital team function
  • Establish clear expectations for how content is created and distributed on social platforms
  • Train and guide newsroom staff to produce content that performs natively on each platform
  • Stay ahead of trends and ensure PIX11 is competitive in emerging formats

Own Digital Performance & Growth

  • Oversee homepage strategy, editorial prioritization, and identifying content that, when packaged correctly, will resonate on digital platforms.
  • Use real-time and long-term analytics to guide decisions and adjust strategy
  • Drive measurable growth in engagement, loyalty, and reach
  • Establish clear KPIs and ensure consistent performance against them

Basic Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years experience in a top-25 market
  • Proven leadership in a digital news environment, with experience managing people and performance
  • Strong editorial judgment with the ability to lead in a breaking news environment
  • Track record of driving audience growth through content strategy and execution
  • Deep understanding of SEO, analytics, and social platforms
  • Experience working across video, streaming, and digital storytelling formats
  • Ability to influence across teams and lead without rigid organizational boundaries
  • Strong communicator who can set expectations and hold teams accountable
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving newsroom environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • 10 years of professional experience, 5+ in a top-10 market
  • 3 years of management experience

Compensation:

$125,000
