Producer- Newsgathering, NBC News

NBC News is seeking a seasoned, driven Producer to support newsgathering, storytelling, and live production across all platforms. This role will work closely with a Correspondent and production teams to pitch, develop, report, and execute compelling journalism—from breaking news to in-depth features, investigative reporting to national coverage. The ideal candidate is a creative journalist with sharp editorial judgment, strong writing and research skills, and the confidence to thrive under pressure. This producer should be equally at home in the control room, in the field, or on location, and adept at delivering both live and taped segments that meet NBC’s highest editorial standards. The ideal candidate is a news junkie who can’t wait to get out the door and, on the road, to cover that next story. This producer should also enjoy storytelling for morning television, an evening newscast and everything in between. The ability to shoot and edit is a plus, along with a sense of what does well on social media or in vertical video formats. This role is right for you if you’re a versatile storyteller who thrives on urgency and impact. You move seamlessly between producing, reporting, and writing, and you’re as comfortable leading coverage during breaking news as you are crafting enterprise stories. You’re highly organized, competitive, and relentless about accuracy and detail—yet collaborative, adaptable, and energized by working with correspondents and teams under tight deadlines. Most importantly, you’re passionate about journalism that informs, engages, and makes a difference.
