Sports Video Producer

Overview

Lee Enterprises is looking for a video producer who's passionate about local sports and digital storytelling to join Lee's Strategic Content Support team. As a producer focused on selecting, editing and managing sports-related video provided by partners, you'll serve as a key resource for a sports video initiative spanning across 70+ markets.

• Anticipate and execute opportunities to drive local audience and revenue with sports video.
• Create, edit, select and distribute video packages for multiple digital platforms and digital brands across our markets.
• Collaborate with our central sales team and local newsroom editors to leverage all available video resources.
• Mine video libraries for reusable content that can drive video volume, engagement and revenue.

This work requires both technical and analytical skills, plus flexibility and capability to work across disciplines: news, sales and marketing. You should be comfortable working independently, contributing to group projects and collaborating across teams - while balancing frequent deadlines and priorities that can shift rapidly with new developments.

This role requires previous experience in a newsroom, studio or sports marketing video production role. Broad and deep knowledge of sports, especially at the high school and college levels, is a must. Database and/or video management system experience is required. Experience in live streaming is a plus, as is familiarity with social media management and content analytics tools.

Please include a resume and cover letter that details relevant successes in video production and/or sports information, and how you've helped others elevate their work by incorporating video.
