Are you a creative, dynamic and people-focused senior journalist looking for a new leadership challenge in a busy, local newsroom?

CBC News is looking for an executive producer to lead our news operations in London, Ont.

Reporting to the managing editor of southwestern Ontario, the executive producer oversees the conception, assignment and distribution of daily, breaking, investigative and explanatory journalism in all formats – video, audio and text – on digital and broadcast platforms for people who live and work in London and the surrounding area.

As the executive producer, you oversee daily news coverage decisions and are the go-to person on journalistic policy and judgment. You have experience leading teams covering all aspects of news gathering and production, and have a keen knowledge of legal risk management. You will ensure that all our work adheres to CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices and that it upholds our core principles of accuracy, fairness, balance, impartiality and integrity.

You are creative and innovative, excited by change and experimentation, and have your finger on the pulse of audience consumption trends. You have experience delivering news for traditional broadcast platforms, but understand that audience growth is in digital spaces. You approach your work with an open mind and a genuine curiosity, and you are comfortable challenging assumptions and seeking out a variety of perspectives and experiences to better reflect our audiences and their stories.

You are a strategic thinker: you are able to set direction and delegate effectively, but you aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work. You understand that daily news can be a flat-out sprint to deadline, with a myriad of complex decisions to make along the way, so organizational skills are key. And you know how to balance out the daily demands with longer-term projects and strategy.

As a leader, you are naturally collaborative, skilled at navigating conflict and change, breaking down silos and championing team success in London and across Ontario. You are a mentor at heart, and are deeply invested in developing a representative and inclusive culture.

This role requires full-time on-site presence.

Your responsibilities:

• Oversee CBC London’s news operations, focusing on daily, enterprise and investigative journalism across our news platforms (digital, video, social and audio)

• Provide editorial oversight to ensure our content is original, relevant and impactful, and elevates a range of voices and perspectives.

• Make editorial coverage decisions that align with CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices

• Provide guidance on legal risk management.

• Monitor audience and industry trends, and develop ideas and approaches for future opportunities on existing and emerging platforms.

• Coordinate and oversee live and breaking news specials, and planned special projects.

• Oversee staffing and scheduling decisions.

• Allocate resources against strategic outcomes.

• Identify and develop emerging talent within and outside CBC London, and actively support efforts to improve the recruitment of candidates from underrepresented groups.

• Coordinate training and development opportunities for staff, providing feedback, coaching and opportunities for growth

• Oversee daily operation and facility needs at CBC London, including fleet management

• Collaborate with communications teams to deepen our connections with communities in the London region through programming, engagement and outreach.

• Respond to complaints from the audience.

We are looking for a candidate with the following:

• A passion for local news and a history of creative and innovative storytelling.

• Excellent journalistic and critical thinking skills, including a deep knowledge of the legal and ethical issues related to journalism, and CBC’s Journalistic Standards and Practices.

• University degree in journalism or equivalent with a minimum of seven years of journalism experience.

• Demonstrated experience leading teams in a fast-paced daily multi-platform news environment.

• Superior communication, interpersonal and organizational skills.

• A strategic thinker with a proven track record of executing on a vision, planning long-term projects, organizing logistics and juggling resources.

• Demonstrated ability to exercise both quick editorial judgment and long-term planning.

• A high-energy leader with a positive, team-first attitude and the ability to motivate and coach teams, encourage creativity and embrace experimentation.

• Demonstrated skills in talent recognition, development and retention.

• Experience and commitment to developing content strategies to feature new voices and perspectives and to connect with new, younger and more diverse audiences.

• A strong proven connection to the communities we serve in London and southwestern Ontario, and a deep and nuanced understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives and lived experiences.

• Strong people management skills with a keen desire to live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.

• Ability and willingness to work flexible hours as required.

• Possession of a valid driver’s licence as well as a driving record that meets the minimum requirements of CBC/Radio-Canada's insurance company.
