About the role
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
