Job Introduction
Are you looking for a new challenge? Do you want your work to be seen by an online audience of millions?
We’re looking for a truly digital Assistant Content Producer with excellent editorial instincts and strong writing skills.
The right candidate will be able to spot a great story from across a broad range of news, sport and entertainment content, and be able to present it in the most engaging way possible. Sharp headline writing and picture editing skills are essential and may have been acquired in a journalism or social media environment. But you’ll also demonstrate a passion for helping people discover content.
The Central Editorial Team sits at the heart of the BBC, online. Based at BBC North in Salford, we connect our audiences with the BBC's content on desktop, mobile, tablet, Red Button and Connected TV services.
We produce the bbc.co.uk Homepage, trusted by 8m people a week to take them to the best of the BBC’s online offering, as well as the BBC+ app. We also produce imagery for the BBC's award-winning iPlayer, add vital editorial colour and direction to the pan-BBC search engine, and support and promote Red Button services used by more than 17m people a week. Alongside that we also provide advice and support on issues which adversely affect users, or compromise BBC editorial standards.
Role Responsibility
You'll work on a wide range of editorial production, monitoring and research tasks, reporting to the Duty Editor. This is a multi-skilled team, and members are expected to work across a range of tasks and services.
You may be creating compelling promotional content for the bbc.co.uk homepage; sourcing, creating or editing appropriate images to illustrate on-demand iPlayer programmes, using Photoshop or other software; or writing contextual copy for promotions or images.
You’ll also ensure that all types of content (images, text, A/V, user contributions) are delivered to audiences accurately, as scheduled and to the correct standard. Importantly, you’ll also monitor and ensure the successful and editorially compliant delivery of bbc.co.uk central services - Search, Homepage, Red Button and iPlayer.
The Ideal Candidate
You’ll show an up-to-date understanding of the full range of editorial content offered on bbc.co.uk. You’ll bring excellent editorial and technical judgement, alongside demonstrable editorial and creative flair. You will have picture editing skills.
Supplementing this will be your proven experience of meeting both operational and editorial demands, with the ability to recognise a problem and diagnose its likely causes.
You’ll also show experience of identifying and responding appropriately to editorial and legal issues and managing and recording their timely and satisfactory resolution.
You'll have proven ability to communicate with end users and technical and non-technical colleagues at all levels.
