- Provide clear, constructive and productive notes on scripts and videos in edit
- Monitor live feeds and decisively produce breaking news events
- Collaborate closely with key newsroom editors, global video team leaders and producers
- Coach reporters and news editors to appear on camera or in voiceover
- Mentor staff and provide innovative opportunities for their development and growth
- Ensure that all journalistic, ethical and legal standards are diligently followed
- Be willing to work late hours or occasional weekends, as breaking news developments and time zone considerations may warrant
- Complete additional duties as assigned
You have:
- At least eight years of experience producing distinctive content in a daily video news environment, under tight deadline pressure
- Successful track record leading and managing video teams in a global news organization
- Exceptional communication skills
- Strategic thinking and critical decision-making skills
