About the Role

We’re looking for a highly creative, digitally fluent Creative Video Producer to set the format vision, structural blueprints, and scaling strategies for our weekly shows, video podcasts, and short-form video ecosystem.

You are an exceptional storyteller who operates comfortably in an evolving, AI-augmented media landscape, viewing emerging technologies as a powerful engine to elevate the impact and reach of premium human-led programming.

• Lead and inspire cross-functional squads—including editors, writers, and designers—to deliver premium programming on accelerated timelines, acting as the ultimate backstop for creative quality and brand alignment.

• Architect and optimize scalable creative production pipelines by establishing AI-augmented workflows that automate administrative tasks, asset cataloging, and automated transcription.

• Define rigorous editorial and ethical guardrails for validating and refining AI-assisted outputs, ensuring all generative scripts, summaries, and visuals meet strict Yahoo editorial standards and brand safety requirements.

• Partner directly with high-profile, on-air talent and creative leadership to sharpen their unique voices, design clear narrative arcs, and construct high-retention program rundowns.

• Mentor and develop mid-level and senior creative producers and editors, actively multiplying the team's capabilities, facilitating workshops, and elevating the overall creative standards of the department.

• Continuously experiment with emerging AI tools and platforms to identify and prototype novel format mechanics, maintaining a proactive focus on operational efficiency and creative innovation.

• Drive format iterations, platform-specific adaptations, and viewer retention strategies in strict alignment with audience performance data, metadata analytics, and broader cultural trends.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years producing premium digital video, video podcasts, or personality-led programming, with a documented portfolio of driving format innovation and scaling digital audiences.

• Based in or near New York City, with the flexibility to work on-site in our collaborative studio environment.

• Master-level creative storyteller with outstanding editorial taste, sharp artistic judgment, and a history of transforming complex topics into compelling, visual narratives.

• Operationally expert—proven ability to manage multiple complex, multi-stakeholder productions simultaneously and consistently deliver excellence under pressure.

• Deep fluency in digital distribution systems, platform algorithm dynamics, and multi-format packaging (long-form, social, newsletter integrations).

• Demonstrated experience incorporating advanced generative AI tools (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) into professional creative and research workflows to accelerate output and enhance editorial complexity.

• Strong commitment to continuous learning, technological experimentation, and responsible AI governance in an evolving, digital-first media landscape.

• Deep focus on the intersection of business, tech, and cultural trends—and highly motivated to make financial storytelling feel accessible, smart, dynamic, and essential.

• Exceptional collaborative leadership skills, with a track record of building consensus, mentoring creative professionals, and managing complex stakeholder relationships.
