Are you a creative, dynamic and people-focused senior journalist looking for a new leadership challenge in a busy, daily newsroom?
 
CBC Edmonton is looking for an executive producer to lead our news operations.
 
Reporting to the director of journalism and programming, the executive producer will lead our teams who gather and produce daily and enterprise news content across platforms, including digital, social, radio and television. In this role you will work alongside the executive producer of programming and engagement to steer our journalism and our people into an increasingly digital future and help us reach a new generation of Albertans.
 
As such, we are looking for someone who is a champion both of great journalistic content and of the people behind it. Could this be you?
 
As the executive producer of news, you will oversee daily news coverage decisions and be the go-to person on journalistic policy and judgment. You will have experience leading teams covering all aspects of news, from breaking events to investigative projects, and will have a keen knowledge of legal risk management. You will ensure that all our work adheres to CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices and that it upholds our core principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, impartiality and integrity. 
 
You will be creative and innovative, working with the rest of the leadership team to develop new forms of storytelling on all platforms. You’ll approach your work with an open mind and a genuine curiosity, and you’ll be comfortable challenging assumptions and seeking out a variety of perspectives to better reflect our audiences and their stories. 
 
You will be a strategic thinker: you are able to set direction and delegate effectively, but you aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work. You understand that daily news can be a flat-out sprint to deadline, with myriad complex decisions to make along the way, so organizational skills are key. And you know how to balance out the daily demands with longer-term projects and strategy.
 
As a leader, you are naturally collaborative, skilled at navigating conflict and change, breaking down silos and championing team success. You are a mentor at heart, and are deeply invested in developing a representative and inclusive culture.
