The Metropolitan Museum of Art collects, studies, conserves, and presents significant works of art across all times and cultures in order to connect people to creativity, knowledge, and ideas.

The Met presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Since it was founded in 1870, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.

The Senior Producer and Editor creates public-facing content that engages audiences, both onsite at The Met's NYC venues and globally via online channels and platforms. The role is ideal for someone who is a creative thinker with a talent for storytelling and a demonstrated commitment to telling diverse stories. This individual works in collaboration with other producers, project managers, and stakeholders across the Museum, including Curatorial and Education, to develop content that is compelling and relevant to visitors, leading to deeper engagement and impact.

This individual focuses on relatively large-scale capital projects, working closely with the Capital and Infrastructure Planning staff and the Digital Product team, for both short-term and long-term initiatives that involve digital content and technology components. A capital project helps maintain or improve Museum infrastructure, and may involve new construction, expansion, renovation, or be a replacement project for an existing facility or functional area. The Senior Producer and Editor reports to an Editorial Manager and Executive Producer, as part of the Content team in the Digital department.
