Bristol, Washington County, VA
Job Description

Are you energized by fast-paced creative work, community impact, and the thrill of bringing compelling ideas to life across multiple platforms? Sinclair is looking for a Special Projects Supervisor to lead high-profile initiatives that connect our stations to the communities we serve. This is a hands-on, future-focused role where you'll shape meaningful projects, elevate our brand, and empower a talented team, while having a lot of fun along the way. Join our Agile Creative Content Engagement Team (ACCET) and play a key role in shaping the future of community engagement.


What You'll Do


As a Special Projects Supervisor, you'll oversee the planning and execution of community events, station contests, branded activations, and high school sports initiatives across several local markets. You'll collaborate with news, sales, marketing, and leadership teams to build projects that reflect our values, strengthen our brand, and deliver real results.


You will:

  • Lead Special Projects from Start to Finish: Guide coordinators through concepting, planning, production, and execution while addressing challenges, removing roadblocks, and ensuring every project aligns with ACCET brand and community standards.
  • Plan and Execute Station Events: Gather objectives from key stakeholders, help manage vendors and logistics, secure locations, build promotional materials with Brand Engagement, and ensure seamless day-of execution.
  • Drive Multi-Platform Contesting: Create engaging contests, coordinate legal compliance, manage back-end entry logistics, and partner with digital and brand teams to promote across platforms.
  • Champion High School Sports Initiatives: Standardize production approaches, schedule content teams, and ensure flawless on-site activations for one of our most community-driven content pillars.
  • Write, Shoot & Edit Promotional Content: Create compelling promotional pieces that support events, contests, community initiatives, and brand-driven campaigns while delivering high-quality visuals and messaging that resonate across platforms.
  • Lead Through Agile Operations: Use Adobe Workfront to track success, encourage cross-team collaboration, eliminate inefficiencies, and drive decisions using data.
  • Serve as a Connector: Work closely with coordinators, sales, marketing, non-profits, suppliers, and station/ACCET leadership to keep projects unified and impactful.
What Makes This Role Special

  • Challenging & Creative: No two days-or projects-are the same.
  • Community-Focused: You'll help amplify local stories, organizations, and schools.
  • Team-Centered: You'll train and grow Special Projects Coordinators while collaborating across departments.
  • Future-Driven: We embrace experimentation and innovation.
  • Rewarding: Your work directly shapes how our stations show up in the communities we serve.
What We're Looking For

  • Leadership skills with a passion for guiding and developing others
  • Strong project management abilities, ideally with experience in Agile systems
  • A collaborative mindset and excellent communication skills
  • Proficiency in writing, shooting, and editing promotional content
  • Creativity paired with operational discipline
  • Comfort working with cross-functional teams and multiple stakeholders
  • Enthusiasm for community engagement, sports, contests, and local storytelling
You Should Apply if:

  • You have a creative spark and a love for planning and executing larger projects.
  • You have 2+ years of experience in video content creation, video production, and digital storytelling at a professional level.
  • You have experience managing others inside a collaborative work environment;
  • You're familiar with social media and understand how video content drives engagement across platforms.
  • You're a team player, capable of collaborating and delivering quality content under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • You have proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and professional camera equipment.
  • You are precise, detail-oriented and a clear communicator
  • You're flexible and willing to adapt to live events and sports schedules, including Friday nights and occasional Saturdays.
Working Hours:

  • Monday to Friday: 8:30am - 5:30pm
  • Friday Nights during High School Football season (late August to October)
  • Occasional weekends for special local events.
If you're ready to lead dynamic projects, push creative boundaries, and shape the future of local broadcasting, we'd love to hear from you.


Apply today and help us create meaningful moments in every market we serve.
