You are an agile visual journalist who can shepherd a breaking news story from pitch to final cut under tight deadlines.

You have…
- At least 1-3 years of experience producing end-to-end video content, preferably in a daily news environment

- An ability to write, edit, package and publish short-form videos quickly as the news demands
