About The Opportunity

As a Web Producer, you are the orchestrator that makes experiences come alive on the web. You are the Swiss Army knife that can do it all and then some. You are the technology expert that can recommend solutions on the fly and when you cannot, you know which technology teams to talk to and find out. You are the one they come to answer the question: can we do that? Yes, you will say, and here is how. You will partner with the right stakeholders (UX, Design, Research, PM) to bolster your solutions. You take content from static sources and build rich, engaging experiences with the tools at your disposal, with zero errors. You master those tools, including content management systems, presentation systems, project management systems, document management systems, etc. You are a CMS savant, you know more than WordPress or Drupal, you can learn any interface in one sitting and begin using it that same afternoon. You understand core concepts of web publishing (SEO) and web development and can read and write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You quality control your own work and fix issues before anyone else catches them. When new AP web pages or sites are in the news, you will turn to your loved ones and say, I built that.
