Radio-Canada is seeking a dynamic Video Producer to drive the development and production of digital-first video content for our Atlantic regions (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador). In this role, you will report to the Senior Manager of News and Programming (N.S./P.E.I./N.L.) and the station’s Digital Producer.

You are a highly creative storyteller with a proven track record in videography and video editing. You are well versed in the various camera systems used at CBC/Radio-Canada and possess a deep understanding of digital trends — specifically vertical video creation and online video best practices.

Your work will adhere to CBC journalistic and/or program policies, standards and practices but there is latitude for creativity, initiative and independent judgment. Occasionally, there may be a requirement to co-ordinate the work of others.

• Prepare, align, set up and operate the camera and ancillary equipment, ensuring optimal audio, video and technical quality under prevailing conditions.

• Perform the following tasks as required:

  • Perform final edit.
