Content Editorial Producer/Cinematographer

The OTV Content Group supports our eight stations across the U.S. with digital coverage for high-impact events, including corporate synergy and major tentpole events, such as elections and the Oscars.

The ABC Owned Television Station group is looking for a dynamic, motivated Content Editor/Producer to work with our team on premium content initiatives. The Content Editor/Producer/Cinematographer reports to the Executive Producer, Content Development, and works with teams across all stations as a member of the OTV Content Group.

This unique position calls for an experienced video editor-producer-shooter who aspires to find the best stories and relishes the opportunity to work with major brands across the ABC Owned Stations. The ideal candidate loves visual storytelling, thinks outside the box, and embodies creativity.
