You will further our original, enterprise and investigative storytelling and ensure we are talking about what matters most to people throughout the province. You’re innovative and will try new things, new workflows and new story treatments. You inspire others to do the same.
• Community: As the industry shifts, local news and community storytelling is more important than ever. You will understand the diverse and changing population in New Brunswick and the importance of reflecting all our communities in our content.
• Culture: You live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.

We are looking for a candidate with the following:

• An ability to generate, pitch and pursue strong, creative story ideas.
• Story-teller with a strong demonstrated connection to the diversity of New Brunswick.
• Proven ability to work in diverse teams.
• Working knowledge of digital news including social media.
• Flexibility with hours of work and willingness to learn and take on new tasks across all CBC platforms.

• Experience in determining potential legal and journalistic issues and ability to act on them.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; strong team player.
• Ability to generate original, enterprise journalism.
• High energy and enthusiasm towards journalism.
• Ability to speak French is an asset.
