Job description

News24 is the new brand name for Sky News Australia. After 30 years as an innovator in the news industry, the network has adopted a new brand name and is expanding its world‑leading news and commentary digital strategy. As one of the top 10 most viewed English‑language news channels in the world on YouTube, this new role is a unique opportunity to join an established news brand with global reach which also has the agility, dynamism and ambition of a startup brand.

Reporting to the Executive Producer for News24 Digital Originals, this Show Producer position is based in our brand‑new world‑class production facilities in Surry Hills, Sydney, and will be responsible for driving the delivery of editorial content for video program productions across News24's digital platforms.

You bring a strong news judgment, strategic thinking and the ability to operate in a complex and fast‑paced editorial environment.

Candidates must have experience working in a fast‑paced production environment, ideally broadcasting, and a deep understanding of digital platforms and modern publishing strategies.

A keen eye for talent, interest in the global news cycle, and a deep understanding of current affairs is a must have for successful candidates.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with our fearless opinion hosts, helping them create a show that drives online audiences and sets the news agenda through opinion and commentary.
• Take end‑to‑end responsibility for the production and delivery of one‑hour, host‑led YouTube shows.
• Lead editorial planning and develop the content agenda for each program.
• Develop and manage show structure, format and recurring program elements, in partnership with the show host.
• Work closely with hosts to shape editorial direction, topics and presentation.
• Drive the program’s content strategy, with a focus on audience growth, engagement and performance across YouTube and other News24 Digital platforms.
• You will be exposed to all the best bits of video production - leadership, creativity, writing, chasing, talent management and much more.

Who are you?

• Must have solid newsroom experience and the ability to master software to produce TV programs. Experience with ENPS is preferred but not mandatory.
• Must have a very good knowledge of global politics and current affairs, and a good understanding of news events occurring elsewhere in the world.
• Needs to be able to understand online audiences and write headlines and straps that are eye‑catching and unfailingly accurate.
• Write editorial content and suggest sharp questions for hosts and panelists to steer editorial direction in your show.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including an ability to effectively communicate with everyone from politicians of all persuasions, to CEOs, contributors and colleagues.
• Must be able to work under pressure to meet deadlines, while maintaining a positive attitude.
• Ability to work independently when required and to carry out assignments that are not part of the day to day routine.
• Previous experience in the production of TV or radio programming is preferred.
• Work in the office is required.
• Healthy knowledge of News24’s products and brand proposition is essential.
• Working hours may vary at times according to show demands.
• Understanding of broadcasting codes and relevant laws. Legal training will be provided.
