- Audience-first thinker: You turn analytics and research into decisions that lift engagement, retention and subscriptions.

- Organised and adaptable: You prioritise, meet deadlines and flex to shifting rosters in a fast-moving environment.

- Editorially rigorous: Strong news judgement, media law literacy, and a commitment to clean, publish-ready content—coaching others to the same high bar.

- Inclusive and culturally aware.

**WHATS ON OFFER**

- Impact & visibility: Shape NZ Heald's multimedia storytelling and be a visible leader in NZME’s newsroom.

- Growth & mentorship: Ongoing professional development, with opportunities to coach, learn and experiment with new storytelling techniques.
