  • Enhance workflows and ensure proactive planning for significant events.
  • Support the professional development of junior team members through regular training sessions and workshops.
  • Engage with Metro stakeholders as necessary.
  • Coordinate with editorial teams to ensure video content aligns with the overall business strategy.
  • Foster relationships with various departments to ensure the social video team has the necessary resources.
  • Build and sustain strong connections within PR and social media platforms.
  • Contribute to establishing a distinctive voice across our video content.

Qualifications

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in a newsroom or relevant media setting.
  • Demonstrated success in developing and implementing data-driven video and social media strategies.
  • Extensive experience in creating engaging, social-first video content.
  • In-depth knowledge of the operational dynamics of TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.
  • Technical proficiency in multimedia tools, particularly Adobe Creative Suite, with a strong emphasis on Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • Experience in filming both in studio and on location, utilizing cameras, lighting, and audio equipment.
  • Proven ability to manage a team and delegate tasks effectively, with strong communication skills.
  • Experience collaborating with various departments within a busy newsroom environment.
  • Commercial experience is advantageous.

The responsibilities outlined above are not exhaustive and may evolve based on the organization's needs. Flexibility and availability for out-of-hours work are essential.
