What are the responsibilities and job description for the Multi-Platform Executive Producer position at WDIV/ClickOnDetroit/Graham Digital?
Detroit is a market that moves fast. Breaking news and weather are at the core of what we do.
This is the Motor City. Motown. Home to the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings… a powerhouse city with deep roots, real pride, and a community that expects strong, urgent journalism.
WDIV Local 4, the Graham Media Group-owned NBC affiliate in Detroit, is looking for a Multiplatform Executive Producer who knows how to build shows and coverage that move fast, hit hard, and matter — on air, online, and in real time. This is a newsroom where breaking news and weather lead, and where a digital-first mindset is essential from the start, not an afterthought.
If you’re someone who thrives in controlled chaos, can own a rundown, command a control room, think beyond the broadcast, and pivot coverage across platforms in seconds… we want to talk to you.
Position overview
As a Multiplatform Executive Producer, you’ll lead the daily execution of newscasts, digital, and streaming coverage with a focus on urgency, clarity, and impact.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You’re not just overseeing. You’re driving coverage across platforms, making real-time decisions, and pushing the team to deliver stronger, smarter journalism every day.
