Your role

As Senior Producer with As It Happens you are a leader who helps shape our nightly program that airs live on radio across Canada and several markets in the US, and as an on-demand podcast.

You must be a motivated, inspired leader with innovative and creative ideas for continuing the evolution of this long-running Canadian program and its team at a pivotal moment in its history.

You will prioritize getting the mix of stories right, supporting high-level chase and writing skills among the staff and ensuring AIH remains must-listen audio, on all platforms.

You will constantly strive to ensure As It Happens is relevant, reflective and has tonal range. You have well-developed leadership and communication skills and the ability to mentor and direct staff as well as develop and implement feedback plans for programming teams. You demonstrate a high level of creative thinking, as well as the ability to originate and develop innovative programs and/or production concepts. You fully understand and are comfortable upholding the principles of the CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices.

You will help ensure that our programming reflects contemporary Canada by creating and driving program initiatives that help CBC meet its strategic goals and better understand and reflect the communities we serve.

You live and promote an inclusive and respectful work culture. You have a deep appreciation of the importance of representation in public broadcasting.

Key Tasks

  • Helping with assignment and story treatment
  • Vetting scripts
  • Working closely with hosts

  • Substantial experience vetting, editing, fact-checking and shaping content
  • Superior leadership, coaching and mentoring skills, with the demonstrated ability to motivate teams and encourage creativity
  • Ability to assign, manage staff, and coordinate and collaborate with other departments in a productive manner, and mediate disputes as they arise.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Strong team player
  • University degree or equivalent, preferably in journalism or other media-related field
