Your role

Based in Fredericton, you will be a leader with vision and compassion, who can bring out the best in a team and can collaborate strategically with other departments across the CBC. We need you to be driven to excellence, creating engaging, relevant content and a great place to work.

This role is integral to changing how people connect to CBC at the local level and will deliver on its purpose through a focus on three strategic priorities:

• Content: You will ensure that all CBC journalistic standards are met and that our stories are fair, balanced, accurate, thoughtful, and immediate and resonate with the communities we serve. You will further our original, enterprise and investigative storytelling and ensure we are talking about what matters most to people throughout New Brunswick and the rest of the province. Because you are fearless, you won’t shape the editorial agenda, you will set it with original and enterprise storytelling. Not only what we cover, but how we cover it and how it rolls out on all platforms.
• Community: You lead the local news, programming and digital teams in New Brunswick and makes a significant contribution to the CBC’s network news content. You will set a new benchmark in editorial leadership around community stories.
• Culture: You will lead a team of diverse, talented and passionate people. You will develop your colleagues’ talent through coaching and supporting them, and inspiring everyone to our common vision. You live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.

You will work with other leaders across the Atlantic Region – and the rest of the country – to further the vision, mandate and strategy of Local Services and the goals of the CBC.

We are looking for a candidate with the following:

• Advanced knowledge in journalism and program production.
• Advanced leadership skills to inspire and direct creative, self-motivated news and programming colleagues and teams. A proven record in developing people, providing developmental feedback that builds understanding, skills and resiliency.
• Knowledge of effective management and change-management techniques and strong financial skills are vital.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, interpersonal skills as well as cultural sensitivity and awareness.
• Thorough understanding of financial, human resource policies and collective agreements is important.
• Knowledge of the law as it relates to broadcasting and journalism is important.
• An agile, creative mind to develop and evaluate programs and to develop ideas for programs on a daily basis.
• The ability to make decisions rapidly and frequently under pressure.
• A strong understanding of the communities that live in New Brunswick.
• University degree.
• Ten years related experience within the broadcast industry.
• Bilingualism (English and French) considered an asset.

Candidates may be subject to skills and knowledge testing.
