The USA TODAY NETWORK is looking for a Technical Producer to power video production support for USA TODAY and newsrooms across the Network from our Video Production Center (VPC) in Atlanta, Ga. You'll join the Visual & Technology team responsible for the workflows, tools, and standards that enable compelling video storytelling and social content at scale. From capturing high-quality footage to post-production and editing, this role helps Network properties-and USA TODAY-move faster, look better, and deliver more impactful video.

You'll also help elevate the quality and consistency of live video-on our owned-and-operated players and across social platforms. As the VPC's Technical Producer, you'll help plan, coordinate, and run Network live streams from concept to execution, ensuring smooth operations and broadcast-ready results.

This role supports growth by expanding newsroom access to-and confidence with-cloud-based video production systems and asset management tools, helping teams collaborate, publish, and repurpose video more efficiently.

Equal parts technical operations and hands-on production, this role sits at the center of modern digital news video-where speed, reliability, and storytelling quality all matter.

We are a 24/7 news operation, and some events may fall outside normal working hours. This role is based in our Atlanta office.

• Track emerging video technology trends and evaluate new tools that can improve quality, speed, and reliability for the business.
• Other duties as assigned to support the production goals and strategy.

• Bachelor's or master's degree in journalism or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Expert knowledge of video production, transmission, hardware, and non-linear editing systems, with a focus on Adobe Creative Cloud applications and workflows.
