This is a full time, in person position based in Vancouver B.C.

Your profile:

• University degree or equivalent.
• Minimum two years recent experience in a multi-media news environment.
• Strong journalistic and communication skills.
• Proven understanding of and curiosity about digital video platforms and audience behaviour.
• Support and facilitate responsive live coverage of breaking or developing stories.
