About the role

CNN is seeking a News Desk Producer to work at the nerve center of the Washington newsroom. The ideal candidate embraces multi-tasking in a fast-paced news environment and coordinates live signals for DC events, providing timely updates to shows and digital managers. You will help coordinate pool coverage, work with field ops to deploy crews, relay editorial information to the newsroom, and cut video elements for digital platforms, while maintaining strong editorial judgment.

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.
