The Senior Social Media Producer will produce, write, and edit social media content and copy for 60 MINUTES across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and YouTube. This content will need to adhere to 60 Minutes' overarching style, while also demonstrating an awareness for the modern best practices of each specific social platform. The Senior Social Media Producer will film with talent, screen 60 Minutes pieces and suggest which clips they feel will perform best on social. They should also be proactively pitching original social content ideas, in innovative formats, to complement what appears on the broadcast.  

The ideal candidate will have at least 6-10 years of hard news production experience with advanced editing skills and the ability to write copy that adheres to our high standards of style and syntax. They should be knowledgable about the larger news cycle and constantly abreast of current events, so they can suggest timely and relevant posts from the 60 Minutes archives. 

The Senior Social Media Producer must collaborate well, and drive results among matrixed cross-functional teams where there is not always direct reporting authority. A successful candidate will understand the heritage of the broadcast, and how the past informs how we approach the future. Finally, they should be able to work flexible hours, including nights and weekends, as the broadcast production schedule dictates.
