**The opportunity - Te tūranga**

As the Digital Current Affairs Producer you will work with current affairs shows to produce compelling digital content. You'll work closely with the executive producers of Sunday and Q&A, as well as their teams. You'll report to the Executive Producer, 1News.co.nz, and work closely with his team, particularly the Digital News Editor and Daily News Editors. You'll also work with the Social Media team and the Commissioning and Longform Editor.

This role will involve some weekend work.
- Come up with ideas for making the most compelling digital content from stories our current affairs shows are producing.
- Produce content for the digital audience by writing up stories yourself, editing other journalists' copy, and, at times, by planning videos or executing the roll out of a series.
- Ensure content appeals to the widest possible audience by writing punchy headlines, organising great images, graphics, videos, social media treatments or anything else needed to make the stories fly.
- Monitor audience metrics and use these in deciding future story treatments.
- Act as a liaison between current affairs shows and the digital news and content teams, keeping everyone in the loop and on the same page

**What we're looking for - Tā mātou e kimi nei**
- You will be an exceptional journalist or editor, with experience dealing with meaty news or current affairs stories.
- A strong track record of writing punchy, accurate stories.
- Strong editor, able to support people to think through an idea and then write compelling, concise copy. When it's all gone wrong, you'll know how to save a piece by restructuring, re-writing or cutting.
- Have high editorial standards and a solid understanding of media law
- A good understanding of digital news, digital audiences and digital audience metrics
- You will enjoy working with others and feel comfortable giving direction and feedback to journalists
