Job Summary/Description:

Are you a newsroom leader who thrives on the adrenaline of a breaking story and the challenge of winning the morning? Do you know how to turn a weather forecast into a "First Alert" plan that keeps the community safe—and keeps them coming back for more? We're looking for a Morning Executive Producer in Cleveland who doesn't just "run a show," but leads a multi-platform mission to own the morning, from the big screen in the living room to the small screen in the palm of our viewers' hands.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Lead the charge: Direct a team of producers and on-air talent with energy and clarity, ensuring every newscast is fast-paced, informative, and unmistakably Cleveland.
• Own the "First Alert" brand: Execute aggressive, life-saving coverage of severe weather and breaking news with urgency—and the calm authority that builds viewer trust.
• Bridge the platforms: Collaborate daily with our digital and TV teams to craft compelling content that lives everywhere our audience is, from streaming apps to social feeds.
• Coach for greatness: Mentor young producers and seasoned talent alike, pushing for better writing, sharper visuals, and more creative storytelling in every block.
• Help people plan their day: Oversee the creation of engaging content that provides real value, ensuring our viewers leave the house (or start their scroll) feeling prepared and informed.
• Drive the morning narrative: Set the tone for the day's coverage, ensuring our morning energy translates into digital wins and broadcast dominance.

Please note - the primary job duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to the information listed above

Qualifications/Requirements:

• 3+ years of producing experience: You've cut your teeth in a medium to large TV market and know how to handle the pressure of a high-stakes newsroom.
• A "First Alert" mindset: You have a natural instinct for breaking news and severe weather, knowing exactly when to pivot and how to lead a team through the chaos.
• Digital-first DNA: You understand that "the news" isn't just a time slot; you're comfortable strategizing for OTT, social media, and web alongside the broadcast.
• Exceptional leadership skills: You're a partner to your team, someone who can give tough feedback with empathy and celebrate the wins with genuine enthusiasm.
• Strong communication: You can articulate a vision clearly to a room full of creatives and keep everyone moving toward the same goal.
