Executive Producer, Digital Job at Nexstar Media Group, Inc. in New York

Nexstar Media Group, Inc., New York, NY, USA

Job type: Full Time


PIX11 is looking for an exceptional Executive Producer, Digital to lead the evolution of our newsroom into a fully integrated, multiplatform operation.


This is not a traditional digital role. The Executive Producer will be a central editorial leader—responsible for breaking down silos between digital, broadcast, streaming, and social, and ensuring every story we produce lives across platforms in meaningful, audience-driven ways.


This leader will build, coach, and elevate a high-performing digital team; help drive the growth of PIX11+ (the streaming platform); and raise the entire newsroom’s fluency in how audiences consume news today.


Core Responsibilities



  • Lead & Build a High-Performance Digital Team

  • Set the vision, standards, and daily expectations for digital performance

  • Create accountability around metrics, content quality, and editorial judgment

  • Identify gaps and actively upskill the team in video, social, SEO, and analytics

  • Serve as a key voice in daily editorial decision‑making alongside broadcast leadership

  • Ensure digital is present early in story conception, not just at the end

  • Push for stronger, smarter story framing that works across all platforms

  • Hold the newsroom accountable to multiplatform execution


Integrate Digital, Broadcast, and Streaming



  • Partner with show EPs, assignment editors, and producers to extend the life of every story

  • Create seamless workflows between linear, digital, and streaming

  • Ensure broadcast content is consistently optimized and repurposed for digital and CTV

  • Drive the evolution towards vertical video

  • Eliminate gaps where content is left underutilized or audience opportunities are missed

  • Participate in management on‑call rotation for weekends


Drive the Growth of PIX11+



  • Work in lockstep with the Sr. Executive Producer, Streaming to build and grow PIX11+

  • Identify daily opportunities for live, near‑live, and on‑demand content on streaming

  • Support the promotion of PIX11+ across all platforms


Elevate Social & Audience Reach Across the Newsroom



  • Lead a newsroom‑wide approach to social, not just a digital team function

  • Establish clear expectations for how content is created and distributed on social platforms

  • Train and guide newsroom staff to produce content that performs natively on each platform

  • Stay ahead of trends and ensure PIX11 is competitive in emerging formats


Own Digital Performance & Growth



  • Oversee homepage strategy, editorial prioritization, and identifying content that, when packaged correctly, will resonate on digital platforms.

  • Use real‑time and long‑term analytics to guide decisions and adjust strategy

  • Drive measurable growth in engagement, loyalty, and reach

  • Establish clear KPIs and ensure consistent performance against them


Basic Qualifications



  • Minimum 5 years experience in a top‑25 market

  • Proven leadership in a digital news environment, with experience managing people and performance

  • Strong editorial judgment with the ability to lead in a breaking news environment

  • Track record of driving audience growth through content strategy and execution

  • Deep understanding of SEO, analytics, and social platforms

  • Experience working across video, streaming, and digital storytelling formats

  • Ability to influence across teams and lead without rigid organizational boundaries

  • Strong communicator who can set expectations and hold teams accountable

  • Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, evolving newsroom environment


Preferred Qualifications



  • 10 years of professional experience, 5+ in a top‑10 market

  • 3 years of management experience
