Executive Producer, Audio & Video

The Role

• We’re looking for a Supervising Producer to lead media production across the Countdown team.
• This is a senior creative and operational role for a producer with great storytelling skills who can
• navigate the full landscape of modern digital media — from short-form video to long-form
• documentary to audio. You’ll be the connective tissue between our internal team and the
• external producers, filmmakers, and creators we work with, ensuring everything we make is
• sharp, purposeful, and built for the moment.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll serve as the main point of contact for all media production across the Countdown team,
• coordinating with internal stakeholders and external partners to keep projects on track and on
• vision. You’ll lead creative development for films, videos, off-stage content, and audio — from
• the earliest concept stage through final delivery. You’ll hire and manage third-party producers
• and production companies, owning those relationships end to end. You’ll also manage creator-
• led media partnerships for Countdown, supporting collaborations with individual creators and
• production partners to expand our reach across platforms.

What We’re Looking For

• You’re an experienced producer, video journalist or non-fiction filmmaker with a strong editorial
• eye and a track record of telling complex stories clearly and compellingly. You understand how
• content travels across platforms — YouTube, Instagram, podcast feeds, editorial sites — and
• you know how to shape a story for each. You have enough fluency with climate and
• environmental topics to move quickly in the space, and enough creative ambition to imagine
• stories that haven’t been told yet. You are open- minded and curious - and keen to learn from
• people with different perspectives.
• You’re also a strong collaborator and a capable manager who can give and receive good notes,
• hire the right people, and keep a production moving without losing the creative thread.
• – 7–12 years of experience in video journalism, documentary production, or digital media
• – Demonstrated experience leading or supervising production across multiple formats
• – Strong editorial and storytelling instincts with a portfolio to back them up
• – Experience managing external production partners and freelance talent
• – Familiarity with climate, environment, or science journalism — either through direct
• coverage or adjacent work
• – Experience working across digital platforms and understanding of how content performs
• in each
• – We are headquartered in New York but open to remote or hybrid approaches, travel to
• events and shoots will be required either way.
