We are looking for an Executive Producer with 15+ years of experience to lead MasterClass's Core content slate — delivering 4–5 flagship classes per year from concept to launch. This is a rare opportunity to work alongside the world's best instructors, extracting their mastery and transforming it into cinematic, educational content that genuinely changes people's lives. If you're a hands-on creative who wants to make things — not just greenlight them — this role is for you.
What will you be doing?
Own a slate of 4–5 classes per year end-to-end: from ideating and pitching instructors, to developing curriculum, shooting on set, and shepherding through post-production
Conduct on-camera interviews with world-class talent (think Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow), crafting questions that draw out the precise stories and insights needed to build a compelling class
Write non-fiction scripts, interview outlines, and curriculum frameworks that balance educational rigor with cinematic storytelling
Generate a constant pipeline of class ideas — you'll pitch 28–30 concepts to land 4–5, so broad curiosity and relentless ideation are essential
Mentor and lead a team of producers, setting the creative bar and ensuring every project ships on time, on budget, and to MasterClass standards
Key Requirements
15+ years of experience in a creative producing role (Executive Producer, Showrunner, Creative Producer, Co-Producer, Writer-Director) — production executive and associate producer titles are not equivalent
A track record in premium factual television and documentary — ideally credits on recognizable streamer/network titles (Netflix, HBO, Nat Geo, etc.) that demonstrate both craft and the ability to move quickly
Exceptional non-fiction writing skills: you must be able to craft interview questions and scripts that elicit specific, layered answers — and confidently push back when a subject gives a surface-level response
Ability to adapt across formats — MasterClass is a unique hybrid of documentary, narrative, and news; candidates who can only work in one genre typically struggle
Experience directing or interviewing high-profile talent on set, with the confidence and skill to redirect and go deeper in the moment
Launched in 2015, MasterClass is the streaming platform where anyone can learn from the world's best. With an annual membership, subscribers get unlimited access to instructors and classes across a wide range of subjects including Arts & Entertainment, Business, Design & Style, Sports & Gaming, Writing and more. Step into Anna Wintour’s office, and Ron Finley’s garden. Get inspired by RuPaul, perfect your pitch with Shonda Rhimes, and discover your inner negotiator with Chris Voss. Each class features about 20 video lessons, at an average of 10 minutes per lesson. You can learn on your own terms — in bite-sized pieces or binge it all at once. Cinematic visuals and close-up, hands-on demonstrations make you feel one-on-one with the instructors, while the downloadable workbooks help reinforce your learning. With MasterClass, you can stream thousands of lessons anywhere, anytime, on mobile, desktop and TV.
