• Determine story treatments, vet scripts and video, and plan video content rollouts for all platforms. 
• Work with journalists in the newsroom and in the field to produce live programming across video platforms including our daily television news.
• Provide editorial oversight to ensure our content is original, relevant and impactful, and meets our journalistic standards.
• Collaborate with various teams across platforms and locations to ensure our visual content reaches the widest possible audience.
• Inform best practices and streamline workflows for digital video platforms.
• Provide feedback and coaching to journalists to help them develop their skills and produce content of the highest quality.
• Assist with planning coverage for special projects and events.
• Fill in for the senior producer of visuals as warranted.

Your profile: 

• Demonstrated experience working in a fast-paced daily multi-platform news environment. 
• Strong journalistic and critical thinking skills, including knowledge of and familiarity with CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices as well as the legal and ethical issues related to journalism.
• Ability to manage and organize large volumes of fast-moving information and quickly redirect resources to meet priorities and objectives.
• Knowledge of and experience in assigning and creating visual content for a variety of platforms (digital, social, television) as well as vetting, editing, fact-checking and packaging.
• Experience in producing live visual content from the field and/or the control room.
• Experience executing digital and social strategies including setting objectives, tracking results and reporting on outcomes.
• A high-energy leader with a positive, team-first attitude and the demonstrated ability to motivate and coach teams, and encourage creativity.
• A strong proven connection to the communities we serve in New Brunswick, and a deep and nuanced understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives and lived experiences.
• A keen desire to live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture. 
• Ability and willingness to work flexible hours as required.
