Executive Producer (Premium Non-Fiction / Educational Content)

Location: Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; or San Francisco, CA (primary)

Compensation: $225,000 – $250,000 base + equity

Overview

We’re partnering with a well-funded, high-growth digital content platform to hire a senior-level Executive Producer to lead the creation of premium, non-fiction educational content.

This is a hands-on creative leadership role focused on developing cinematic, story-driven content that delivers real-world value—not just entertainment. You’ll work directly with world-class subject matter experts and translate their knowledge into compelling, structured learning experiences.

If you’re someone who prefers building and creating—not just overseeing—this role offers a rare opportunity to shape high-impact content at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Own a slate of high-impact content projects end-to-end (concept → development → production → post)
• Identify and pitch new content ideas, maintaining a strong pipeline of concepts
• Conduct on-camera interviews with high-profile individuals, extracting meaningful insights and stories
• Write scripts, interview frameworks, and structured learning content
• Direct and guide production teams through filming and post-production
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and at a premium creative standard
• Mentor and lead producers, setting a high bar for storytelling and execution

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years of experience in creative production (Executive Producer, Showrunner, Creative Producer, etc.)
• Strong background in non-fiction, documentary, or factual television/content
• Experience producing content for major platforms, networks, or large-scale audiences
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously (4–5+ per year)
• Exceptional storytelling and writing skills (especially interview-driven formats)
• Experience working directly with high-profile talent and guiding interviews in real time
• Ability to balance premium quality with fast production timelines

Ideal Background

• Experience across both documentary-style storytelling and faster-turn content formats
• Hands-on involvement in building projects from early-stage concept (not just execution)
• Strong creative instincts paired with operational discipline

What Makes This Role Compelling

• Opportunity to create content that has real educational and personal impact
• Work directly with top-tier talent across industries
• Backed by significant funding and continued investment in content growth
• Positioned at the intersection of storytelling, education, and emerging technology

Additional Details

• Must be based in or willing to work primarily from Los Angeles, New York, or San Francisco
• Valid passport required for occasional international travel
• Portfolio or credits list required (IMDb, reel, or equivalent)
