NOTUS Newsroom


Senior Off-Platform Content Producer

About NOTUS:

NOTUS is a new media company built for a new Washington.

We report for the people who live here, the people who make policy here and the people around the world who care deeply about what happens here.

We are a newsroom like no other: a mix of veteran reporters and editors working with some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming reporters — individuals from different regions and different backgrounds who have come to Washington as fellows at the Allbritton Journalism Institute.

Our approach allows us to report essential stories that others miss, for the most powerful people in the country — earning us a loyal audience from across the ideological spectrum.

About the Role:

NOTUS is looking for a growth-oriented editor/producer/guru who is obsessed with getting our content in front of as many people as possible — across all platforms and mediums.

This person will be a creative thinker and collaborative colleague who works closely with the entire newsroom to produce versions of our journalism that will drive off-platform engagement. They will translate our journalism into animations, videos and other formats that connect with users of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and other platforms.

What Does Success Look Like?

  • Our journalism consistently reaches audiences well beyond our website while maintaining our editorial integrity and high ethical standards.
  • We build meaningful new audiences and garner paid subscribers — not just fleeting viral moments.
  • Our off-platform presence becomes a competitive advantage and a core part of our editorial and commercial strategy.

What You’ll Do:

  • Produce videos, graphics, explainers, memes, clips, carousels and other formats that help people find our journalism.
  • Work closely with editors and reporters to ensure off--platform content is considered from the start — not as an afterthought.
  • Analyze platform performance and turn those insights into actionable recommendations for the newsroom.
  • Build relationships with platforms, content creators and other influencers who can help expand our reach.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience creating social-first content, from videos to animations and graphics. Experience helping reporters translate their stories into video formats.
  • Deep understanding of what works on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, X, etc. Willingness to experiment on emerging platforms.
  • Understanding of data analytics and ability to discern what is working and what is not.
  • Experience and comfort behind a camera is important. Comfort in front of one is a bonus.
  • Excellent communicator who approaches all tasks with a spirit of collaboration and open-mindedness.
  • Ability to identify stories with breakout potential and shape creative assets specifically for each platform’s audience and algorithms.
