Job Description

Job Title

WCVB-TV is building a team of journalists dedicated to growing and diversifying the station's digital storytelling — original video and multiplatform content that lives across WCVB's digital platforms (web, app, YouTube, social, streaming) and within Chronicle and News broadcasts. We are seeking candidates for two off-camera positions.

Field Production & Storytelling

Produce original video stories from pitch to final edit, largely working independently in the field. Conduct interviews, gather b-roll, and craft narratives with strong visual and storytelling quality. Bring either a Chronicle-style sensibility (tone, pacing, visual craft) or a news-enterprise sensibility (depth, context, follow-up reporting) to assigned stories, depending on the context. Ability to travel throughout New England — occasionally outside the region — is required. In-person attendance is required.

Digital-First Publishing

Produce and edit short-form and long-form video optimized for digital platforms, including web, app, YouTube, and social. Turn content on a fast timeline — including breaking news — without sacrificing production quality. Package stories with strong titling, structure, and visual hooks suited to each platform. Adapt Chronicle and newsroom material for streaming, social, and other digital-first formats.

Enterprise & Long-Form Storytelling

Develop digital-first stories that go beyond the day's headlines — true crime, investigative, lifestyle, archival, and multi-part features. Identify opportunities to advance a story or archival footage beyond its initial reporting. Identify opportunities to expand a single story into a series, or structure stories with future broadcast compilation in mind.

Audience & Growth

Track platform trends and audience behavior, and identify stories with strong shareability. Experiment with emerging formats and growth strategies, evaluate results, and share what works with the team. Contribute to analytics-informed content planning, including for weekends and streaming events. Collaborate closely with digital, newsroom, and Chronicle teams to maximize reach.

Qualifications

3+ years of experience in video production, TV news, digital media, and/or documentary-style storytelling. Strong mastery of the Adobe editing suite. Demonstrated ability to work independently in the field, from pitch through final edit. Comfort balancing speed with production quality in a high-volume environment. Working knowledge of platform algorithms, digital video trends, and audience behavior. Strong writing skills and command of AP style.

Preferred / Bonus Skills

Experience producing serialized, episodic, or multi-part digital content. Experience with YouTube and social platform optimization. Familiarity with leveraging archival content to build context or reimagine past stories in new formats. Experience developing or supporting strategy for streaming events with on-air talent.

What Success Looks Like

Increased video views, watch time, and engagement across digital platforms. Growth in YouTube subscribers and overall channel performance. Consistent production of high-quality, platform-optimized video. Effective repurposing and extension of newsroom and Chronicle material. Energetic, inspirational collaboration across editorial, digital, and production teams.

Salary

The estimated base salary range for this role is between $76,000 and $90,000. The actual base pay offered is dependent upon many factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs, market demands and conditions, including geographic location where the work will be performed, and other factors permitted by law. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
