About The Position
We're hiring a Digital Content Creator to be part of our Group Content Team (GCT), serving all 17 FTS markets across the country. In this role, you will coordinate with our newsrooms to publish stories, videos, and social content on all kinds of topics to engage their local users. This position is based in the LiveNOW from FOX newsroom in Orlando, Florida. Reporting to the Senior Manager of the Group Content Team, the Digital Content Creator will be hyper-focused on quickly writing, producing, and efficiently sharing compelling, easy-to-consume stories and information with digital and social users across all of the FOX-owned markets, coordinating with local teams in the process. You're a journalist who's smart, fast on your feet, team-oriented and full of ideas. You're an expert in digital, social media and streaming platforms, and you devour news on your phone and smart TV every day. You know a big story when you hear/read/watch it, and you understand why it's important to a local news viewer. You're organized and can plan out your day - but you're ready to pivot the moment news breaks. You're obsessed with quality and creating the best possible experience for your audience. You love a fast-paced, challenging environment and crave the chance to learn and try new things. Crystal-clear communication is your superpower, especially in the most urgent, breaking news-filled situations. You can coordinate with different contributors across multiple states and time zones. What you do matters, and you're out to make a difference. Most of all, you want to win. Every. Single. Day.
