NBC Washington is seeking a skilled, creative, and highly organized Senior Digital Multimedia Journalist to develop and produce original journalism across video, social, streaming, podcast, and emerging platforms.

This role is designed for a creative journalist who thrives as an end-to-end storyteller—someone who can identify compelling stories, shape the editorial vision, and execute that vision from pitch to publication. The ideal candidate is a creator-producer with strong reporting instincts, exceptional editorial judgment, advanced production skills, and a passion for visual storytelling.

This is not an on-air role. While the position may occasionally support talent, hosts, or reporters, the primary focus is creating journalism behind the camera. We are seeking a journalist who excels in story development, production, shooting, editing, and audience-focused storytelling rather than on-air presentation.

The successful candidate doesn’t begin with a format. They begin with a story, an audience need, or a question worth answering—and then determine the best way to bring it to life. They know how to identify the most effective platform, style, and storytelling approach for each piece of journalism, whether it’s breaking news coverage, explanatory reporting, an interview-driven feature, a longform video project, or a recurring digital franchise.

Responsibilities

• Own stories from concept to publication, including reporting, production, shooting, editing, publishing, and distribution.
• Pitch and produce original journalism ranging from breaking news and explanatory reporting to enterprise and longform storytelling.
• Develop recurring franchises, serialized storytelling formats, and signature digital content.
• Create compelling video content across digital, social, streaming, and emerging platforms.
• Package content for audience discovery using strong editorial judgment and platform-specific best practices.
• Collaborate with reporters, producers, photographers, talent, and newsroom leadership to elevate storytelling and audience impact.
• Experiment with new formats, technologies, and storytelling approaches that enhance audience engagement.
• Support livestream coverage of breaking news, weather, community events, interviews, and audience conversations.
• Ensure all content meets NBC News Group standards for accuracy, fairness, ethics, and editorial excellence.
