Unposting Date:

CBC News Syndicated Audio is looking for two experienced and dynamic Associate Producers who thrive in a fast-paced, deadline driven environment and who are focused on finding guests who are at their core incredible storytellers, and sound-rich audio that engages the ear.

In this role, you’ll be supporting 60 local audio programming teams across the country, involved in shaping and producing audio content that audiences want to know more about. You’ll be finding guests who can provide context, analysis or opinion on breaking national and international news and current events, writing scripts and question-lines, and editing tape for audio platforms.

You’ll operate independently under the direction of an Executive Producer, to research, gather, package and present stories that are broadcast on local radio programs across the country. Your work will include pre-interviews of potential guests, writing scripts and question lines, editing audio and collating background material on stories. You ensure all of the content adheres to CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices (JSP).

Driven by curiosity and an open mindset, you thrive in a 24/7 breaking news environment, making decisions under pressure. Most days, you’ll be performing a variety of roles on your own.

While you’re a self-starter, you’re joining a team where collaboration and communication is essential, both with your immediate team and the local programs you support.

You care about the people you work with and have a deep appreciation for different perspectives, opinions and experiences. You live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.

We are looking to fill two permanent full-time positions, based anywhere in Canada with access to a CBC station. You will be expected to be on-site most days, however there is some flexibility to work from home. These roles can be based in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, or Halifax.
