Producer job

About the role

The Office of Innovation & Technology (OIT) is the central IT agency for the City of Philadelphia, headed by the Chief Information Officer (CIO). OIT oversees all major information and communications technology initiatives for the City, increasing the effectiveness of the IT infrastructure, ensuring data security continuity, planning for continuing operations, and supporting accountable, efficient government across departments. In this role, the Producer is the day‑to‑day owner of PHLgovTV’s third original launch series and the channel’s short‑form service content: the PSA pipeline (including bilingual EN/ES versions), Philadelphia Minute interstitials, and pre/post‑hearing context segments supporting the Philadelphia Citizen’s Hub. Working under the Executive Producer’s editorial direction and alongside the Senior Producer, the Producer independently field‑produces segments for original programming series, books and preps guests, writes scripts, and supervises edits. The Producer will also support live Mayor's Press conferences and City Council hearing coverage.

Responsibilities

• Own the episode pipeline for the assigned series: research, episode outlines, rundowns, scripts, guest booking and preparation, studio/field producing, and edit supervision through broadcast‑ready delivery.
• Produce the PSA pipeline: write, produce, and deliver 90‑second PSAs — including bilingual EN/ES versions coordinated with the contract Spanish‑language associate — maintaining the minimum rotation target.
• Produce interstitials in quarterly batches with the Multiplatform Producer.
• Produce hearing‑context segments (pre/post‑hearing explainers, committee explainers)
• Serve as swing producer across the original programming slate: second‑chair the Senior Producer’s series during premiere weeks, and multi‑hearing weeks.
• Book, brief, and manage guests — City officials, advocates, and residents — including pre‑interviews and briefing documents.
• Maintain episode records in the production tracker and ensure ADA Title II captioning timelines are met for all delivered content.
