Producer, In Context (Explainers)

AJ+ is looking for a multi-skilled and creative video producer to join the In Context team. You're someone who is innately curious about why things are the way they are and enjoy every step of the production process. We want to ask the big, complex questions and unpack the answer for our audience in a way that is fun, super creative, engaging but still deeply informative. The In Context team works with tight deadlines and quick turnarounds, so the role requires someone who can work quickly, think on their feet, has a creative eye and can remain calm under stress. You'll be producing explainers from start to finish: this includes pitching, researching, scripting, interviewing, finding visuals and sometimes editing. If you're open to hosting on camera, that's a strong asset (but not required). With the guidance of AJ+s editorial leadership, you'll help create in-depth, hard-hitting and exciting video explainers for a diverse audience.
