About the role

VERSANT Media's MS NOW unit in New York seeks a Senior Managing Producer to lead weekend programs, oversee scheduling, and build a robust training, recruitment, and retention program for the team. The role requires strong editorial leadership, experience in newsroom workflows, and the ability to manage live coverage and breaking news, with responsibilities spanning operations, staff development, and cross-functional collaboration with HR and executive teams.

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.
