Your New Role

We are looking for an experienced Editorial Producer (Guest Booker), to join CNN Global Productions, supporting CNN's growing portfolio of Global Perspectives live events around the world.

This is a broader role than traditional guest booking. You will help shape the speaker mix editorially, build and manage senior-level relationships, and run complex booking processes end-to-end, working closely with editorial leadership, production, and planning teams to deliver high-impact, globally relevant events.

Reporting to the Senior Director and partnering closely with the Executive Producer, you will play a key role in defining the editorial and experiential quality of CNN's events.

Your Role Accountabilities

• Research, identify, and secure high-profile, editorially relevant speakers, panellists, and contributors for CNN live events and related content.
• Work closely with the Senior Director to shape the speaker mix, ensuring talent choices strengthen the editorial ambition, balance, and tone of each programme.
• Manage the full booking process end-to-end, from initial outreach through confirmation, briefing, scheduling, and on-the-day support.
• Act as the primary point of contact for speakers and their teams before, during, and after events, building trust and long-term relationships.
• Brief speakers clearly and confidently, ensuring they understand the editorial context, format, and expectations.
• Build and maintain a strong, diverse network of senior figures across business, policy, culture, and civil society.
• Work closely with production, planning, and external partners to ensure a seamless experience for talent and a smooth delivery overall.
• Stay calm and solutions-focused when plans change, responding quickly and thoughtfully to last-minute developments.
• Represent CNN with professionalism, editorial credibility, and sound judgement in all external interactions.

Qualifications & Experience

• Demonstrated experience running complex booking processes end-to-end, ideally within media, journalism, live events, or adjacent editorial environments.
• Strong editorial instinct and judgement, with the ability to assess which voices will genuinely add value to a programme.
• Proven ability to build and manage relationships with senior-level speakers and stakeholders.
• Confident communicator, comfortable briefing talent and liaising with agents, teams, and internal stakeholders.
• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple workstreams at once.
• Collaborative and adaptable, able to work closely across editorial, production, and planning teams.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
• A genuine interest in global affairs, current events, and live storytelling.
