This role requires full time on site presence.
CBC North is committed to the promotion, preservation and revitalization of indigenous languages. CBC North - Nunavut broadcasts in both English and Inuktitut and is the only source for live current affairs and news in Inuktitut broadcasting across Nunavut and Nunavik.

Your role

You have fresh ideas and technical expertise to create the quality programming Canadians and Northerners have come to expect from us. You are someone who is always ready to explore new ways of creating content that is distinct, intelligent and innovative.

CBC North is looking for a Producer for Igalaaq, Canada’s only Inuktitut television news broadcast. This producer will be responsible for the production of the daily 30 minute supper-hour television program and driving video storytelling innovation in the newsroom. You will work with a team of journalists and videographers in a multi-platform news environment.

As an experienced Producer you will participate in developing editorial and technological innovation, creative storytelling and finding great guests for the show. You will have a demonstrated understanding of visual storytelling trends and the evolving expectations of the audience. Reporting to the Executive Producer, you are solid editorially with clear news instincts and appetite for daily journalism. You have a sophisticated understanding of visual storytelling formats and can help the team deliver a compelling, must-watch show and encourage great video content that travels.

You are a producer who’s focused on the audience and what they need. You know how to engage new, more diverse and younger audiences familiar with digital and social media conventions and story-telling.

You will work closely with our assignment producers to ensure Nunavummiut are kept up to date and informed on relevant, local stories. You will also work closely with the Digital and Radio Current Affairs producers to ensure sharing of story ideas and content.

You have a strong understanding of Nunavut, Nunavik and Inuit culture. Ideally, you are fluent in English and Inuktitut.

You will help determine appropriate story treatments to support a nimble, fast-paced, “need to know now” evening news television program.

As Producer of television, you will bring the following skills and experience to the CBC:

• University degree or equivalent.
• Minimum five years recent experience in a daily news environment.
• Strong journalistic skills.
• Strong visual storytelling experience.
• Demonstrated ability of video innovation.
• Excellent broadcast writing skills.
• Ability to adapt to ongoing technical demands such as desktop editing, assisting with daily lineup, using graphics for story treatments and a sound knowledge of field gathering tools and application.
• Strong understanding of demonstrative live storytelling techniques.
• Ability to incorporate breaking news into a live broadcast.
• Strong vetting ability.
• Ability to balance the big picture creative thinking with the “daily grind” of producing a daily television program. This is a very hands-on position.
• Ability to assign, manage and motivate staff, coordinate with other departments in a productive manner, and mediate disputes as they arise.
• High-level knowledge of legal and ethical issues related to journalism.
• Deep knowledge of and connection to the equity-seeking communities across mainland Nova Scotia.
• Excellent general knowledge about Nunavut/Nunavik provincial and civic politics, demographics, geography, and current issues.
• Experience and proven ability to tell news stories in compelling and innovative ways.
• Ability to manage large volumes of fast-moving information.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong team player.
