Job description
KTXL FOX40 is looking for an exceptional Digital Executive Producer, to lead the evolution of our newsroom into a fully integrated, multiplatform operation.
This is not a traditional digital role. The Executive Producer will be a central editorial leader-responsible for breaking down silos between digital, broadcast, streaming, and social, and ensuring every story we produce lives across platforms in meaningful, audience-driven ways.
This leader will build, coach, and elevate a high-performing digital team; help drive growth on all digital platforms; and raise the entire newsroom's fluency in how audiences consume news today.

Create accountability around metrics, content quality, and editorial judgment

Drive the Growth of streaming

Identify daily opportunities for live, near-live, and on-demand content on streaming
Support and strategize the promotion of FOX40+ across all platforms
Elevate Social & Audience Reach Across the Newsroom
Lead a newsroom-wide approach to social, not just a digital team function
Establish clear expectations for how content is created and distributed on social platforms
Train and guide newsroom staff to produce content that performs natively on each platform
Stay ahead of trends and ensure FOX40 is competitive in emerging formats
Own Digital Performance & Growth
Oversee homepage strategy, editorial prioritization, and identifying content that, when packaged correctly, will resonate on digital platforms.
Use real-time and long-term analytics to guide decisions and adjust strategy
Drive measurable growth in engagement, loyalty, and reach
Establish clear KPIs and ensure consistent performance against them
