JOB DESCRIPTION Fox13 - Tampa Bay's leading news station, is looking for a dynamic and creative Streaming Producer. We want someone to join our team and help us captivate audiences with engaging content. You'll transform raw breaking news into interactive, visual storytelling, serving as the air traffic controller for our live digital streams. Forget the show rundown, we need you to "produce the screen." You will be guiding viewers through live news events as they happen and let them know what's still to come. You'll make graphics that accompany topics, add data that helps tell a story, become the expert on audience engagement, and be three steps ahead of what the viewer sees.

- Book guests and produce content including podcast-style interviews, and live reports.
- Build a strong connection with our audience, engaging with viewers through social media and interactive platforms.
- Drive real-time viewer retention by weaving audience comments, live polls, and user-generated content directly into the stream.
- Own the visual flow of the stream, creating pop-up graphics and data overlays on the fly.
What you'll need:
- A willingness to take chances and break the news mold. No need for a rundown or teases. Flexibility beats a script every time.
- A fast-paced, digital-first mindset with the ability to turn a sudden news alert into a full-scale live stream.
- A strong understanding of social media platforms and digital trends.
- A confirmed skill set in streaming video production and editing; knowledge about TriCaster is a plus.
- Strong editorial judgement is a must.
- Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and think several steps ahead.
- Ability to thrive under pressure and pivot quickly.
- Flexibility to work varied hours, weekends, and holidays as news demands.
