Are you an ambitious self-starter and collaborative team player who is passionate about local news and current events? Do you have a strong interest in uncovering issues that matter to your audience?

CBC Toronto is looking for a full-time associate producer to join the Metro Morning team. The successful candidate will work the early shift on weekdays, coordinating with the newsroom to chase guests on breaking news and developing stories before pivoting to chasing agenda-setting stories for the next morning.

As a member of a close-knit team, you will organize and contribute to the preparation, production and post-production work for our morning radio show. You will have a keen eye and a passion for paying attention to the details, and as such, you will ensure that all CBC journalistic standards are met.

You have strong storytelling skills and an ear for finding good guests. You understand the diverse and changing population in the GTA, and the importance of reflecting all our communities in our content.

A desire to experiment with new ways of sharing Metro Morning content on visual and emerging platforms will be considered an added asset.

Key tasks:

• Respond quickly to breaking news events as they unfold.

• Chase, organize and book interviews, develop program content, write and vet scripts, edit audio and video.
• Distil large amounts of complex information under tight time constraints.
• Gather audio and field produce as required.
• Contribute to the development of the program’s lineup, including selecting music as needed.
• Liaise with control room teams to ensure all technical aspects of the program can be properly prepared and coded.
• As necessary, assist in taking the show to air from the control room.
• Present stories on-air as required.
• Collaborate with colleagues across teams to plan features, coordinate coverage, and enhance visual storytelling across platforms, particularly digital and social media.

Your profile:

• Ability to generate, pitch and pursue strong story ideas.

• Strong proven connection to the communities we serve in the GTA.

• Strong attention to detail.

• Ability to chase and follow several stories at once, prioritizing and managing time.

• Strong broadcast writing and audio editing skills.

• Experience editing content for audio and video platforms.

• Willingness to learn and tackle new tasks across all CBC platforms.

• Ability to forge positive team relationships and keen to work on a team that values collaboration and transparency.

• Strong desire to live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; a standout colleague.

• Must possess a valid driver’s licence as well as a driving record that meets the minimum requirements of CBC/Radio-Canada's insurance company, other classes considered an asset.

• Ability to work a variety of shifts including early starts, late finishes and weekends.

• University degree or equivalent, with a minimum of two years of recent, related experience in a multiplatform newsroom.

This position requires all shifts to be done in the office.
