  • Troubleshoot last‑minute edit issues and keep packages moving to air
  • Set the editorial approach and clearly communicate how each piece should come together
  • Coordinate closely with reporters and producers across NBC News platforms
  • Mentor early‑career staff on writing, editing, and news judgment to help them grow
  • Pinpoint the right angles for reporter assignments
  • Jump into the control room as needed


Qualifications

  • Minimum 6 years of experience in live television news
  • Advanced proficiency in Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Outstanding writing and script‑editing skills
  • Strong editorial judgment and proven ability to make calls under pressure
  • Deep understanding of visual storytelling and segment production
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Experience leading and mentoring teams across varying levels of experience
  • Ability to successfully work in a highly collaborative team-oriented environment
  • Willingness to work on‑site in New York, NY


Desired Qualifications

  • Experience managing talent and working closely with anchors and correspondents.
  • Strong grasp of the streaming and digital news space
  • Solutions-focused mindset with the ability to pivot quickly when the news changes.
  • Creative thinker with a passion for finding new ways to elevate storytelling and viewer engagement.
  • Collaborative leader who inspires, communicates clearly, and sets high standards in a fast-paced environment.


Additional Requirements

  • Required On-Site: This position is required to be performed full-time from an NBCUniversal-designated worksite.
