As the company continues to grow and evolve, we are looking for talented professionals who can help expand our programming, strengthen our digital content, and deliver compelling stories to audiences across platforms.

About the Role

Law&Crime is seeking an experienced, creative, and highly organized Executive Producer to oversee the day-to-day creative, editorial, and operational management of assigned digital series across YouTube, Spotify, and other distribution platforms. This role will oversee productions from story selection and development through scripting, editing, quality control, and final delivery, ensuring content meets the company's editorial standards, aligns with programming priorities, and is delivered on schedule. Working closely with production staff, hosts, and cross-functional teams, the Executive Producer will provide creative direction, maintain editorial consistency, and proactively resolve production challenges.

In addition to overseeing creative execution, the Executive Producer will directly manage assigned production teams, including producers, associate producers, editors, and other creative personnel. This person will be responsible for day-to-day team operations, performance management, professional development, and ensuring production teams have the direction and resources needed to operate effectively and independently.

The ideal candidate is a strong editorial leader and hands‑on production manager who can balance creative vision with operational execution. This person should have excellent storytelling instincts, sound editorial judgment, and the ability to manage multiple productions and competing priorities in a fast‑paced digital media environment. The Executive Producer will serve as the primary point of contact for routine creative, operational, and personnel matters within assigned teams, allowing senior leadership to focus on broader departmental strategy, original programming development, partnerships, and long‑term growth.

Responsibilities

Editorial & Creative Oversight

• Oversee the full production lifecycle of assigned digital series, from story selection and development through final delivery and publication.
• Evaluate story selections for alignment with editorial priorities, audience interests, company strategy, and broader organizational coverage.
• Review scripts, outlines, and edits for accuracy, narrative structure, pacing, tone, clarity, and audience engagement, providing actionable feedback to strengthen storytelling.
• Provide creative direction to hosts and producers, including directing voiceover sessions and ensuring consistency with each series' editorial vision.
• Oversee final quality control, including subtitles, speaker identifications, graphics, archival materials, audio levels, and other finishing elements.
• Ensure all content adheres to company standards, established series formats, and applicable editorial, legal, and standards‑and‑practices requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve storytelling, creative execution, production techniques, and overall series quality.

Production Management & Delivery

• Work closely with the Director of Digital Production to manage production schedules, workflows, priorities, and milestones, ensuring assigned series move efficiently from development through delivery and publication.
• Monitor production progress, anticipate bottlenecks, and proactively resolve issues affecting quality, resources, or deadlines.
• Coordinate legal review and approval processes, building review timelines into production schedules, tracking outstanding approvals, and securing timely sign‑off before content is finalized or published.
• Coordinate requests for graphics, research, footage, archival materials, and other production resources, ensuring requirements are clearly communicated and deliverables arrive on schedule.
• Establish and maintain consistent production workflows, review processes, and quality‑control standards across assigned series.
• Communicate significant delays, resource constraints, editorial concerns, and other production risks to leadership, providing proposed solutions and revised plans.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Coordinate with editorial, booking, social, marketing, programming, production management, development, and other relevant teams on story selection, coverage priorities, creative direction, and release strategies.
• Ensure assigned series complement broader company coverage and programming priorities while avoiding unnecessary duplication or conflicting plans.
• Translate programming goals into actionable production plans, clear expectations, and priorities for production teams.
• Participate in planning meetings and communicate production status, upcoming deliverables, resource needs, and potential obstacles.
• Identify opportunities to streamline collaboration and maximize the reach, visibility, and value of digital content across platforms.
• Directly manage assigned production staff, including producers, associate producers, editors, and other creative personnel, with responsibility for their day‑to‑day management, performance, and professional development.
• Establish clear expectations for performance, accountability, communication, creative execution, and adherence to production schedules.
• Provide ongoing feedback, coaching, and mentorship; conduct performance evaluations and address performance concerns as needed.
• Own routine personnel matters, workflow conflicts, missed deadlines, and performance issues within assigned teams, escalating significant concerns to the Vice President when appropriate.
• Delegate and prioritize assignments, balance workloads, and ensure team members have clear direction and the resources needed to succeed.
• Participate in hiring, interviewing, onboarding, and staffing decisions in coordination with the Vice President and relevant leadership.
• Foster a collaborative, accountable, and solutions‑oriented environment where team members take ownership of their work and communicate proactively.
• Identify staffing gaps, training needs, and professional development opportunities, recommending solutions to leadership.
• Ensure assigned production teams operate effectively and independently, serving as the primary point of contact for routine creative, operational, and personnel decisions.

Process Improvement & Strategic Planning

• Evaluate and improve production workflows to increase efficiency, consistency, and scalability without compromising editorial quality.
• Develop and maintain production documentation, schedules, review processes, and series‑specific guidelines.
• Use audience data, platform trends, and production insights to inform creative decisions and evaluate series performance.
• Identify opportunities to evolve existing franchises, strengthen audience engagement, and support the long‑term sustainability and growth of assigned programming.
• Keep leadership informed of production needs, staffing considerations, workflow challenges, and opportunities for improvement.

Why Join Law&Crime

This is an opportunity to take a leadership role within a fast‑growing media company at the intersection of legal news, true crime, digital media, and entertainment.

As an Executive Producer, you will have meaningful creative ownership over established and developing digital programming while directly managing and developing production teams. You will work closely with senior leadership and collaborate across the organization to shape compelling content, improve production operations, and help expand Law&Crime's growing digital presence.

The role is ideal for an experienced producer who enjoys both the creative side of storytelling and the operational responsibility of building, leading, and developing successful production teams.

Note to Applicants

This is a hands‑on creative and operational leadership role for someone who can take ownership of assigned programming from development through delivery while effectively managing the people and processes behind it. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable providing editorial feedback on a script, directing a host's performance, troubleshooting a production delay, managing team performance, and making independent day‑to‑day decisions. This person should be proactive, accountable, solutions‑oriented, and capable of ensuring their teams consistently deliver high‑quality content with minimal day‑to‑day oversight from senior leadership.
