FOX5 is seeking a highly creative, organized, and driven Executive Producer of Lifestyle, Entertainment, Sports, and Specials to lead our station's flagship daily entertainment programs, sports coverage, and high-impact special broadcasts. The ideal candidate is a seasoned broadcast professional with a proven track record of managing diverse production teams, collaborating closely with sales departments to execute sponsored integrations, and executing seamless live coverage of both planned specials and breaking news events.

• Strong composure and quick decision-making skills during live control room execution, especially during breaking news, sports, or live remote broadcasts.

• Direct and oversee the daily production, pacing, and creative direction of the station's marquee lifestyle and entertainment programs, including MORE Las Vegas and Studio 5 Live.

• Coordinate scheduling and production logistics for Silver State Live, including remote broadcasts, crew assignments, and rundown planning.
