- Create processes and workflows to ensure control room crews are supported and live broadcasts run smoothly.
- Assist in finding innovative ways to improve on-air production capabilities and workflows.
- Enable and contribute to a culture that creates an environment where staff can do their best work.
- Our news business is 24 / 7 / 365, and this role requires an on-call shift rotation to support broadcast emergencies; occasional night or weekend work is required on a project basis.
