Spot On is an independent public-interest newsroom building journalism for the creator era. We make Indian news watchable with clarity, credibility and courage.
We’re hiring a social-first Producer to execute daily accountability storytelling across platforms.
This is a high-ownership newsroom role. Fast-moving. Format-shaping. Agenda-setting.
🚀 What You’ll Do
• Pitch and develop accountability stories (politics, corporate power, gender and social justice, governance)
• Turn breaking moments into sharp, high-retention videos
• Craft platform-native headlines, hooks and captions
• Collaborate with editors, audience and video team for maximum impact
• Ensure rigour such as verification, fact-checking, right-of-reply
• Spot emerging narratives and steer editorial direction
🎯 What You Bring
• Strong newsroom instincts and editorial judgement
• 2 - 5 years daily news experience
• Solid research and reporting chops
• Deep familiarity with short-form video and platform-native storytelling

• Strong time management and organisational skills
• Problem-solving mindset
Bonus:
• Experience in early-stage startups
• Basic video editing skills
🔥 This Role Has Real Upside
We’re not hiring for years of experience. We’re looking for self-starters who love storytelling. If you want to help shape what public-interest journalism looks like on social platforms — and build something from scratch — this is that role.
