Research Producer

This role supports the daily editorial development and production of the show through rigorous research, story development, and real-time editorial support.

This role requires someone with strong intellectual curiosity, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to synthesize complex information quickly. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving media environment and can track the news cycle, identify relevant developments, and translate them into actionable research and show content.

While the position supports the broader production team, it works closely with senior editorial leadership and plays a key role in ensuring that the show’s research, supporting materials, and story framing are accurate, relevant, and production-ready.

Success in this role requires an individual who can operate independently, anticipate editorial needs, and maintain composure in high-pressure situations with tight deadlines.

In addition to research and editorial responsibilities, the role requires a strong digital instinct, including the ability to identify moments and clips from the show that will perform well on social media.
