The Role: 

TIME is seeking a web producer to help bring TIME’s high-impact lists and franchises to life online—publishing fast, accurately, and with strong SEO—while supporting an ambitious expansion across the Franchises + Accolades portfolio. You’ll sit on the Web Production team and collaborate closely with editors to meet demanding timelines and uphold TIME’s editorial standards.

Responsibilities: 

• Produce TIME lists and franchise packages for web, optimizing them for readability, experience, and revenue.
• Build collection items end-to-end in the CMS: input text and photos, complete back-end fields, and apply SEO best practices for consistency and quality across large list packages.
• Implement and QA affiliate links for assigned projects (e.g., Best Inventions), coordinating with editors to ensure accurate, trackable links are live and maintained.
• Maintain rigorous pre- and post-publish QA (formatting, image crops, alt text/accessibility, metadata, canonicals/redirects) and ensure clean cross-linking across hubs and category pages.
• Communicate proactively, track tasks clearly, and surface obstacles early; partner across edit, photo, design, and marketing to keep launches on schedule.
• Support broader web production needs as capacity allows, including CMS migration tasks, search optimization, and curation of the homepage and recirculation units.
• Promote and abide by our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

Qualifications: 

• Professional experience in web production within a newsroom or digital publishing environment, with strong attention to detail and consistency.
• Hands-on with WordPress (or similar CMS), plus working comfort with Google Docs and/or Airtable for intake and tracking.
• Solid SEO fundamentals (metadata, internal linking, headline/dek best practices) and excellent editorial judgment.
• Familiarity with affiliate workflows.

Note: This position is represented by the NewsGuild of New York.

Location:

This is a hybrid role. Eligible candidates for the role must be within a commutable distance of TIME’s New York City or Washington D.C.  office upon hire and may be expected to be physically present as needed (typically 3 days/week).
