Our phenomenally talented video producer is moving on, and we're on the hunt for someone to fill his impossibly large shoes. Our video producer helps us shape the segments you see on our show every week by finding and preparing video elements that will provoke thoughtful, compelling conversations about the week's news. If you've ever watched the show and thought to yourself, "I know the perfect piece of sound from 2004 for that segment on the European debt crisis," this job is for you.
Candidates for the job will be creative and intellectually curious news hounds with a strong interest in current events, politics and history. We're looking for people who think creatively about how to use video in interesting and unconventional ways—you should have clips you can’t wait to show us! Ideally, candidates will have experience working with Avid and/or Final Cut Pro in a television or online news environment; they’ll have to turn tape around under tight deadlines. If you're interested, please send your resume and cover letter by June 15 (UPDATE: June 15ish) to UpwithChris@msnbc.com (use the subject heading “Video Producer”) and apply online at the NBC Universal Careers website (the Job Number is 5900BR). Thanks and good luck!
