FOX, Phoenix, AZ, United States
Overview
KSAZ/KUTP-TV is building the next-generation assignment desk and we're looking for a
Digital Content & Assignment Editor
to help lead it. As part of the FOX family, you will receive generous time off, 401k matching, a wealth of employee resources and superior medical, dental and vision benefits from day 1!
This role sits at the center of our newsroom's real-time coverage and represents the evolution of the assignment desk in a modern newsroom. This position ensures that every major story reaches audiences wherever they watch - live on television, streaming on CTV, scrolling on social, or searching online. You'll coordinate breaking news response, deploy field crews and live technology, launch streams, author digital stories, and turn major events into high-impact content across linear, streaming, mobile, CTV, and social platforms. If you thrive in fast-moving news environments and understand how audiences consume live and on-demand content, this role is for you.
About the Role The Digital Content & Assignment Editor blends the urgency and editorial judgment of a traditional assignment editor with the execution skills of a digital producer.
You will be:
Monitoring scanners, wires, and social feeds
Coordinating linear & digital coverage and setting up interviews
Provide seamless collaboration between linear, streaming, and digital teams
Deploying reporters, photographers, and LiveU/TVU technology
Communicating real-time updates across the newsroom
Monitoring and quality-controlling live field feeds
Launching and managing live streams on FOX Local, YouTube, mobile, and CTV
Writing and publishing web stories
Creating VOD clips during breaking news and major events
Optimizing headlines, descriptions, and metadata for reach
Publishing vertical and social-first content for platforms like Instagram and TikTok
This is not just a coordination role; it's a storytelling and distribution role.
What We're Looking For
A digital producer who understands streaming and SEO but wants deeper involvement in breaking news
An assignment editor ready to expand into live streaming and multi-platform publishing
A newsroom professional who understands both field operations and audience growth
Ideal candidates will have
Strong news judgment and calm decision-making under pressure
Experience launching or managing live streams
Comfort writing fast, accurate web stories
Familiarity with YouTube publishing best practices (titles, thumbnails, tags, audience retention)
Understanding of how content performs differently across platforms
Experience with live transmission technology or willingness to learn
A collaborative mindset and effective communication skills
4-year college degree preferred
2 years' experience as a digital producer or assignment editor preferred
Availability to work weekends, holidays, and irregular hours as the job requires
If you believe breaking news doesn’t end at the live shot - and that strong storytelling continues across platforms - we want to hear from you.
