Auckland City, New Zealand NZME Full time

**THE OPPORTUNITY**:
We’re looking for a seasoned newsroom leader with a sharp news sense and a flair for compelling video content to join the Herald NOW team — NZ Herald’s groundbreaking streaming news platform. As Senior Producer, you’ll be pivotal in shaping a dynamic mix of live broadcasts and pre-recorded stories that keep New Zealanders informed, engaged, and coming back for more. You’ll thrive at the intersection of journalism, technology and audience-focused innovation.

**HOW YOU’LL DO IT**:

- Partner with the Head of Streaming and collaborate across editorial, visual, and studio teams to produce high-impact video journalism.
- Lead the charge on breaking news, while also planning stories with depth and insight — from political developments to entertainment scoops.
- Curate a mix of live and pre-recorded content that reflects the interests of a broad digital audience.
- Set up and produce interviews, guide presenters, script video segments and maintain top-tier editorial standards.
- Work quickly, calmly and cleverly in fast-paced situations — ensuring both the immediate stream and upcoming segments are running smoothly.
- Use your creative vision and strategic mindset to continuously elevate the show’s tone, pacing and viewer engagement.
- Coach junior team members, helping raise newsroom capability and storytelling craft across the board.

**ABOUT YOU**:

- A digital-native journalist with senior newsroom experience and a proven track record in video production.
- A confident communicator with strong editorial judgement and an understanding of media law and ethics.
- Adept at working in complex, high-pressure environments where multitasking, prioritising and adaptability are key.
- Enthusiastic about mentoring others, promoting collaboration, and lifting the quality and performance of the entire team.
- A strategic thinker who loves crafting great stories as much as delivering them, and who understands how to build digital audiences through innovative storytelling.

**WHAT’S ON OFFER**:
In return, we offer the chance to work with the best in the business on award-winning brands and titles in an environment where we foster diversity and inclusion. At NZME our culture is second to none, where innovation and fun is the norm, and you’re encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

Your workplace will be in central Auckland in a modern well-equipped office that boasts radio studios, newsroom hubs, multiple breakout areas and our popular iHeart Lounge that hosts a variety of internal events. You’ll have access to a range of discounted products and services, development opportunities and be a key member of a high performing team
