Reaching new audiences and improving journalists’ ability to tell good stories quickly and effectively are our key objectives. The News Labs editorial team needs individuals with a range of skills to help us deliver those objectives by turning ideas into innovations.

We are looking for a journalist to help us explore different opportunities, from integrating audience insights into a content management system to helping build relationships between the audience and BBC correspondents through participation on the BBC’s Live pages, all while making BBC News content more accessible to a wider range of audiences.

**Main Responsibilities**:

- Working closely with editorial stakeholders and the News Labs team to identify projects which create impact on BBC journalism;
- Contribute to the design and development of innovation projects from conception to prototype;
- Support multidisciplinary teams with editorial guidance and project management and act as a bridge between software engineers and the newsroom.

- Effective planning and organisational skills, ability to concentrate on several areas of work at one time and reacting positively to changing priorities;
- Experience of working with Agile techniques and ceremonies to ensure projects progress to time and fulfil their scopes;
- An enthusiasm and willingness to experiment and test new solutions to problems faced by editorial and technical teams for the benefit of the global BBC audience;
- The ability to communicate and collaborate is vital. You will need to be encouraging and supportive to the team and willing to take a leadership role;
- The ability to work independently on small projects and collaboratively on larger team initiatives;
- Experience of software development in one or more programming languages (eg: JavaScript, Node.js, Python) is helpful but is not essential.
