  • Understanding of fiber, satellite and IP networks used in broadcast operations
  • Knowledge of television principles, live production workflows and broadcast standards
  • Strong IT literacy and confidence working with technical systems
  • Ability to work in a 24/7 operation, including weekends, holidays and non-standard hours
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Attention to detail, technical confidence and the ability to remain calm and organized under pressure
  • Proactive, reliable and willing to learn
  • A collaborative approach and commitment to supporting team operations.
  • Formal broadcast or technical qualifications are desirable but not required
  • Advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English is required

Location:
This position will require you to work in our Washington, D.C. bureau on an as needed basis.
Why join us:
  • A mission-driven, inclusive environment focused on both individual and collective success.
  • Opportunities for professional development to help you reach your career goals.
