Job Description

The Multiplatform Producer is PHLgovTV’s utility producer, redefined for a multiplatform channel. This role is the second producer on every shoot, the segment producer for PSAs and Philadelphia Minute interstitials, and the producer of all social-first content — episode clips, promos, and platform-specific cuts — in coordination with the Director of Digital Strategies. The Multiplatform Producer ensures that everything PHLgovTV makes for broadcast also works on the web, on social platforms, and on OTT. 

Essential Functions 

• Serve as second producer on all studio and field shoots: pre-production logistics, location coordination, releases and permits, B-camera operation as needed, and on-set production support. 

• Produce the PSA pipeline: write, produce, and deliver 90-second PSAs including bilingual EN/ES versions coordinated with the contract Spanish-language associate, maintaining a minimum rotation of 12 PSAs. 

• Produce Philadelphia Minute interstitials in batches of 12 per quarter. 

• Cut and deliver social-first content: 60–90 second episode clips, show promos, stills, and platform-specific versions for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn, on the weekly social calendar set with the Director of Digital Strategies. 

• Manage YouTube publishing support: uploads, titles, descriptions, tags, playlists, and chapter markers for government hearings. 

• Support OTT content organization and metadata in TelVue Connect as Roku/Apple TV distribution launches. 

• Maintain the media asset library: ingest logging, tagging, and archive organization for all field and studio footage. 

• Provide surge support for live government hearing coverage as assigned. 

Competencies, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities 

• Versatile producing skills across field, studio, and digital formats; comfortable switching between broadcast and social-native storytelling in the same day. 

• Strong short-form editing (Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve) and motion-graphics template literacy. 

• Fluency in platform-specific best practices (aspect ratios, captions/burn-ins, hooks, accessibility) for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. 

• Solid camera and audio fundamentals for B-camera and run-and-gun work. 

• Highly organized with strong asset-management discipline. 

• Spanish-language proficiency a plus, supporting bilingual PSA production. 

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in media production, communications, journalism, or related field — or equivalent experience. 

• Minimum 3 years of professional video production experience, including demonstrable social/digital video work. 

• Portfolio demonstrating both broadcast-length and short-form/social work required. 

• Municipal, PEG, news, or nonprofit media experience preferred.
