About the role

• Proven ability to communicate clearly and confidently both on-air and behind the scenes in a fast-paced, unscripted breaking news environment

• Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and think several steps ahead
• Ability to thrive under pressure and pivot quickly as news develops
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Flexibility to work varied hours, weekends, and holidays as news demands
