Your Role

We are enriching our radio lineup in southwestern Ontario by launching a new regional program on ICI PREMIÈRE and Radio-Canada OHdio. Produced by the local Windsor team, this weekday afternoon drive show will debut this fall. It aims to become a community hub, diving into local conversations about current events, culture, lifestyle and emerging trends.

To lead this ambitious launch, we are looking for a passionate producer with a positive, collaborative leadership style, sharp editorial judgment, a creative mindset and strong interpersonal skills.

The successful candidate excels at leveraging the potential of both radio and digital platforms to foster meaningful public conversations. You appreciate the rich diversity of Ontario — especially in the province’s southwestern region — and are committed to authentically representing all of its communities.

Reporting to the Executive Producer, you will plan, conceive, organize and/or develop the production and realization of the afternoon drive show for southwestern Ontario, ensuring it delivers dynamic coverage of current events, culture and community affairs.

You will ensure that work adheres to CBC/Radio-Canada’s Journalistic Standards and Practices. Nevertheless, there is wide latitude for initiative, independent judgment and creativity. You will regularly supervise and co-ordinate the work of other team members, proactively identifying the best ways to keep the team engaged.

We are looking for a leader who brings fresh ideas and the technical expertise required to deliver the high-quality broadcasts Canadians expect from us. As an outside-the-box thinker, you are someone who is always ready to explore new ways of creating content that is as distinctive, intelligent and innovative as the people we look to hire.

This is a Monday-to-Friday, on-site position based at our Windsor station. The Producer will also collaborate with and support other departments within the station.

• Exercise editorial responsibility as delegated by management.
• Evaluate all facets of a production, including the performance of program and production personnel as well as freelance contributors.

As required, perform the following tasks:

• Select, re-write and/or edit copy or text written by others.
• Ensure, in collaboration with copyright clearance officers or others, the proper and accurate clearance of all material used in the program.
• Determine the order and importance of various elements of a program.
• Assign, co-ordinate and supervise the work of team members who contribute to the program or segment for which you are responsible.
• Identify, develop and maintain contacts appropriate to the area of assignment.
• Oversee the design and structural layout of rich-media segments for our website and digital platforms.
• Pitch and supervise cross-platform rollouts for content originating from the show.
• Edit and mix, or direct the editing and mixing of, audio and/or visual elements.
• Ensure the maintenance of a level of communication or rapport with members of the audience that is both feasible and appropriate to the style and nature of the program, and participate in this activity as necessary.

What You Bring:

• University degree (or equivalent) in journalism, communications, political science or a related field.
• Five (5) years’ experience, of which three (3) must involve work in broadcasting or a closely related industry, directly related to the assignment or program production.
• Strong leadership skills and positive, collaborative approach.
• Strong desire to live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.
• Bilingualism (English/French) required.
• Extensive knowledge of the issues and diverse communities of Ontario (including the Greater Toronto Area, northern Ontario and southwestern Ontario).
• Excellent editorial judgment.
• Knowledge of regional, national and international affairs.
• Broad general knowledge.
• Strong knowledge of social media and digital content performance metrics.
• Strong interpersonal and team-playing skills.
• Initiative and resourcefulness.
• Organizational skills; ability to thrive in a high-pressure, tight-deadline environment.
