  • 5+ years of experience in television programming, scheduling, programming operations, traffic, or related fields within a broadcast television environment, including a network, local station, station group, cable network, streaming service, or related media operation.
  • Working knowledge of SIMS programming and scheduling software.
  • Strong understanding of television scheduling strategies, broadcast operations, and programming workflows.
  • Experience managing programming metadata and maintaining schedule accuracy.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office.
  • Excellent organizational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience scheduling multiple television networks simultaneously.
  • Familiarity with FCC regulations, broadcast standards, and compliance reporting.
  • Experience with television listings services and metadata providers.
  • Knowledge of Nielsen ratings and audience measurement.

Key Competencies

  • Television programming and scheduling
  • Metadata management
  • Attention to detail
