• Edit and publish high-quality social video, graphics and other digital content to deadline, while maintaining CBS News editorial standards.
• Act as the main link between the London bureau and CBS News social teams in New York, helping align editorial priorities, audience insights, platform strategy and visual identity.
• Guide correspondents and producers on social newsgathering, audience engagement and platform-specific storytelling.
• Monitor platform trends, audience behaviour and emerging formats, using those insights to inform editorial decisions.
• Help build a consistent, recognisable social voice and visual style for CBS News’ international coverage.
• Support fast, accurate responses to breaking news and trending conversations, ensuring coverage reaches audiences where they consume news.

• Strong news judgement, including experience working on breaking news, major events or complex international stories.
• A deep understanding of how different audiences use TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and other social platforms.
