About the role

Spectrum News is seeking an Executive Producer in Columbus to own the vision for our newscast and lead the team from story creation to on-air delivery. You will drive accuracy, timeliness, and compelling coverage that reflects the local community. You will manage projects end-to-end, oversee graphics, cameras, and cross-newsroom workflows, and train colleagues while keeping a fast-paced newsroom culture. Join Spectrum News to tell important community stories across platforms.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
