Are you an energetic, disciplined and creative journalist? CBC Windsor has an opportunity for you to join the team as a multi-platform producer. In this role, you’ll be a key leader in the newsroom in the afternoon and into the evening, contributing to the successful operations of storytelling on digital, radio, television and social platforms.
Reporting to the executive producer, the multiplatform producer is part of a team making assignment choices in the afternoon evening. You are responsible for guiding editorial choices around breaking, live and on-demand stories in the evening and the following morning. responsible for helping to make assignment decisions that affect the later part of the day and impact stories destined for late and morning rollouts. Your work is critical to setting the agenda for the next day, which is why you are a news junkie and you have experience working in daily news. You’re willing to roll up your sleeves when needed, and to act as a guide with decisions that are data-driven and rooted in telling stories that matter to people in Windsor and beyond.
In this role, you’ll be working directly with reporters, and so you understand how to help them deliver their stories across platforms. You care deeply about how the audience consumes news, and the types of stories that resonate in their lives.

You understand that the media landscape is changing, and you like to experiment with new storytelling formats to drive audience engagement. You know the questions to ask at a story meeting to both challenge and encourage enterprise reporting, and when breaking news happens, you are at your best facilitating a quick response.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable in a mentorship role, and can also work with the most experienced people to create compelling content. You must believe in building an inclusive newsroom because you understand how that shapes content. The role of the public broadcasters is clear to you, and drives your own desire to share local Windsor stories with the rest of Canada.
This role is full-time, and requires on-site presence.
As required, you will perform the following tasks:
- Conceive and develop story ideas and concepts across platforms.
- Make assignment decisions about story priorities and rollouts to day-part across the afternoon and next-day
