WBTW is looking for an exceptional Digital Executive Producer, 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 growth (the streaming platform); and raise the entire newsroom’s fluency in how audiences consume news today.

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 WBTW 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
