ABOUT WBUR 


WBUR is Boston's NPR and one of the most respected public media organizations in the country. With a legacy of editorial innovation and award-winning journalism, reaching millions of people across platforms every week, WBUR drives conversations that matter &mdash; on air, online and in the community. We are committed to journalism that serves the public interest and we're building ambitiously for what comes next. 


THE OPPORTUNITY 


This is a rare chance to build something from the ground up. 


WBUR is launching a new video focus and we're looking for the leader who will define it. This isn't a role for someone looking to maintain a playbook &mdash; it's for a builder: someone who sees the full potential of video to deepen audience relationships, advance public media storytelling and create sustainable revenue for journalism that matters. 


As Director of Video, you will establish WBUR's Video Center of Excellence, set its editorial standards, train and guide staff and shape a multi-platform distribution strategy that extends our reach across YouTube, social channels, our owned platforms and beyond. You'll partner closely with editorial, product, revenue and marketing teams. 


The ideal candidate leads with editorial conviction, thinks strategically about audiences and revenue and is just as comfortable in a production workflow as they are in a senior leadership meeting. 


ROLE SUMMARY 


Reporting to the Chief Content Officer, the Director of Video leads WBUR's full video enterprise: strategy, production, team, distribution, analytics, revenue and operations. You will guide journalists and multimedia producers, run a broad range of editorial video work across the organization and serve as the primary champion for video as a cross-platform growth lever. You'll balance day-to-day editorial oversight with longer-horizon thinking about where video can take WBUR in the next three to five years.
