Executive Producer - Core

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
