Digital Content Producer

Do you have a sharp eye for a good story, strong digital skills and an interest in New Zealand’s food and fibre sector?

AgriHQ is looking for a Digital Content Producer to join our Digital Editorial team.

This is a hands-on newsroom role combining digital publishing and original journalism. Around 60% of the role will focus on publishing and managing content across AgriHQ’s digital platforms, with 40% focused on pitching, researching and writing original stories.

You’ll work closely with the Digital Editor and our experienced editorial team to keep AgriHQ’s digital news offering timely, engaging and relevant.

What you’ll be doing

• Publishing, formatting and updating stories across our digital platforms.
• Helping manage the homepage and prioritise the day’s biggest stories.
• Writing sharp, accurate and engaging headlines and blurbs.
• Responding quickly to breaking and developing news.
• Pitching, researching, interviewing and writing original stories.
• Selecting images and presenting stories effectively online.
• Using Google Analytics to track audience behaviour and trends.
• Keeping across the issues and trends shaping New Zealand’s food and fibre sector.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a journalist or digital content producer who enjoys the pace and variety of a busy newsroom.

Ideally, you’ll bring 2-3 years of relevant newsroom, digital publishing or content production experience, along with journalism, communications or related qualifications.

You’ll have strong writing and storytelling skills, sound news judgement and excellent attention to detail. Experience with content management systems and audience analytics would be an advantage, but a willingness and ability to learn quickly is just as important.

You’ll also be organised, collaborative and comfortable switching between writing stories, publishing content and managing competing priorities throughout the day.

An interest in New Zealand’s food and fibre sector is a definite advantage, but if you’re curious, keen to learn and interested in telling stories that matter to rural New Zealand, we’d like to hear from you.

Why AgriHQ?

You’ll join an experienced editorial team producing trusted journalism for New Zealand’s food and fibre sector, while getting the opportunity to develop your skills across digital publishing, audience engagement and original reporting.
