About the role

MPR News in St. Paul, MN seeks a seasoned Senior Producer to lead our afternoon coverage, direct a team of producers, plan long-term goals, and drive the digital transformation of our broadcast programming. You will supervise daily workloads, nurture talent, and ensure top journalistic standards across platforms. The role requires 7+ years in fast-paced broadcast journalism, experience with on-air talent, and a track record producing multiplatform programs.

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.
