Content & Events Producer, Made in PGH

Post-Gazette. • Pittsburgh, PA

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is seeking a creative, curious and highly skilled content producer who understands Pittsburgh and knows how to tell its stories. You’ll bring Pittsburgh’s stories to the forefront—finding the right moments, capturing them beautifully and inspiring audiences to watch. The Made in PGH Content & Events Producer creates compelling social and digital content that grows the Made in PGH audience, strengthens the brand and showcases what makes Pittsburgh worth exploring. You'll be out in the community discovering what's happening, capturing high-quality photo and video content, producing stories for social and digital platforms, and helping bring Made in PGH events and partnerships to life. This is a producer-first role. You should be comfortable appearing on camera when the content calls for it, but your strongest skill should be what happens behind the camera: recognizing a great story, finding the right angle, capturing strong visuals and turning raw material into polished content that people want to watch, read and share. As a member of the Advertising team, you'll also play an important role in delivering the campaigns and partnerships that support the Made in PGH business. This is not a sales position. Your role is to bring sold campaigns to life through strong creative execution while protecting the voice, quality and integrity of the Made in PGH brand. You'll understand the connection between audience engagement, advertiser value, client results and the continued growth of the business.

• A strong creative eye and instinct for visual storytelling, including composition, pacing and what captures and holds an audience's attention.
• Experience shooting and editing for social platforms and an understanding of how content should adapt across channels.
• A genuine understanding of Pittsburgh, its neighborhoods, people, businesses and culture, with the curiosity to continually discover what's next.
• Strong business acumen and an understanding of how audience growth, engagement, campaign execution and brand reputation contribute to advertiser value and revenue.
