About the Role
We are looking for a diligent, organised and highly proactive Production Coordinator to support the smooth running of LBC’s newsroom operation. Working closely with the management team, you will be responsible for coordinating rotas, managing resources and supporting the successful onboarding of new team members. You will help to ensure we have the right people in the right place at the right time, while responding quickly to changing editorial priorities and the demands of a live newsroom. This is a role for someone who thrives on organisation, communication and problem-solving, and who isn’t fazed by an ever-changing news environment.
Responsibilities
- Fill and manage rotas for the LBC production team, ensuring shifts are appropriately staffed and annual leave/sickness is covered.
- Work closely with editorial managers and teams to ensure the newsroom is appropriately resourced across all shifts and shows, identifying gaps and finding solutions.
- Support forward planning for staffing around major news events, elections and other key moments, helping coordinate staffing.
- Respond quickly to last-minute changes, keeping teams informed and finding practical solutions in a fast-moving news environment.
- Build strong relationships with producers and editorial managers to develop a good understanding of individual strengths and performance.
- Identify emerging talent and high performers, gather feedback from presenters, managers and teams, and support conversations around job and development opportunities.
- Act as a key point of contact for production teams, ensuring information about rotas and staffing changes is communicated clearly and promptly.
- Keep newsroom systems, rota information and relevant records accurate and up to date.
- Help onboard new team members, including organising all relevant training.
Requirements
- Highly organised and methodical individual, adept at managing nuanced rotas and competing priorities.
- Experience working in a newsroom, production company or fast-paced media environment.
- Understanding of the demands of production teams.
- Comfortable dealing with last-minute changes and unexpected challenges, focused on finding solutions quickly.
- Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with people at all levels.
- Ensure everyone has the information they need.
- Real attention to detail and pride in getting things right.
- Enjoy working as part of a team and getting the best out of people.
- Understanding that the role is integral to the success of the newsroom operation.
- Comfortable working with scheduling, rota and admin systems.
- Quick to learn new tools and processes.
