We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Executive Producer to oversee the production process of a national political program.
Location: Charlotte, NC
US News & World Report ranks Charlotte as the eighth best place to live in the country.
Charlotte is a charming yet sprawling southern city, a friendly urban area located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, just a few hours’ drive from the Appalachian Mountains and the white sand beaches of North Carolina. Its geographic location, generally temperate climate, relative affordability, and local culture are all attractions of the Queen City. Professional sports coverage in the NBA and NFL gives residents something to root for, while museums, parks and an exploding beer scene offer more diversions for people with different interests. One thing Charlotteans can take for granted is the cleanliness of the city. There is a certain pride that residents have in their city, and even the downtown area is more well-maintained and free of litter and graffiti than visitors might expect. Maybe it has something to do with the flora; neighborhoods like Myers Park and Dilworth are adorned with grand old trees that give way to bustling intersections and commercial developments.
