We want someone who can hunt down the most striking visuals and compelling voices at speed - and who is eager to work with correspondents to harness the potential of the world's leading broadcaster to create impact with US, Canadian and global audiences and help them make sense of the world around them.
You will have a knack for spotting and developing compelling video content. You be able to write clearly and accurately and use photographs, graphics and video to bring stories to life. You will need to be able to remain calm under pressure and to work collaboratively with others.
