Contract Type

Description

Qualifications and Experience

  • Experience: Significant leadership in broadcast or digital news, with a proven track record of managing large, diverse technical teams.

  • Education & certification: Degree in Broadcasting, Media Production, or Information Technology.

  • Experience: At least 10 years of journalism experience, with a minimum of 5 years leading a multimedia team.


Responsibilities
  • Oversee the allocation of central resources—such as camera crews, mobile journalism (MoJo) kits, and edit suites to support multiple platforms from a single source.

  • Manage the “Superdesk” technical infrastructure, ensuring unified content management systems (CMS) allow editors to see the full multimedia picture in real time.

  • Lead the production of “story-centric” content where a single report is formatted as a TV package, a radio bulletin, and a social media clip simultaneously.

  • Direct live newscasts and multi-platform broadcasts, ensuring smooth technical execution across web and traditional airwaves.

  • Maintain quality control for all visual and audio designs, including on-air graphics and digital assets.

  • Design and maintain a unified technology stack that supports non-linear workflows, reducing asset duplication and “copy-pasting” between departments.

  • Implement and upgrade newsroom software for video switching, audio mixing, and live streaming (e.g., WebEx, Livestream, BlackMagic ATEM).

  • Stay ahead of emerging trends such as AI integration, video-first podcasting, and emerging distribution platforms.

  • Lead a multi-skilled team of audio producers, videographers, and digital journalists, fostering a culture of collaboration across departmental boundaries.

  • High professional integrity with a deep understanding of Nigerian media laws and ethical journalism.

  • Oversee post-production tasks such as video editing, sound design, and content archiving.

  • Lead troubleshooting and repair of hardware and software components.

  • Act as the lead technical authority for large-scale live events, broadcasts, and webcasts.
