Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive. Your New CNN Role CNN is seeking a Director of News to join its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong to take a leading role in helping to shape global weekend coverage – with a strong focus on US domestic news. This is a role for an ambitious, capable and experienced video-first newsroom leader with outstanding news judgment, excellent communication skills, and a passion for breaking news and distinctive enterprise reporting that differentiates CNN. Working as part of a diverse, highly collaborative newsroom, the successful candidate will serve as a vital link in CNN’s follow-the-sun operation to ensure consistent, multiplatform coverage around the clock. Your Role Accountabilities As Director of News, you will help set the global news agenda throughout the US overnight hours, working closely with senior leadership to respond in real-time to unexpected developments -- from civil unrest to natural disasters and everything in between – making decisive editorial decisions in a highly pressurized deadline driven environment. You’ll bring proven high-level digital and video-first newsroom experience, a flair for big picture digital-first framings, and the ability to distill complex ideas, demonstrating a deep understanding of both US domestic and international news. You will be an expert communicator and adept at working in a highly collaborative multi-platform news environment, partnering closely with digital-first editorial news desk editors and reporters; regional bureaus; specialist content verticals; as well as show teams; commissioning editors; and digital video and social teams. You will have a broad portfolio and will be expected to move between reactive and proactive depending on the situation; you will be able to execute complex coverage plans and help coordinate field team deployments, communicating across teams and time zones on multi-region news, scoops and real time story pursuits. Though the role is located in Asia-Pacific, you will be working as part of a global, 24/7 cross-platform team, providing a key editorial link between CNN’s US and Europe operations. Qualifications & Experience A minimum of 10 years of newsroom leadership experience, with a strong editorial vision and deep working knowledge and experience covering US news. A willingness to work weekends. A proven track record of leading teams during major breaking news; superior news judgement; calmness under pressure; and the ability to deliver in a deadline driven environment. Exceptional planning and organizational skills with a demonstrable track record of executing detailed coverage plans and delivering on day two reporting targets. Expert communicator; solutions-minded with the ability to solve problems creatively. College degree or equivalent industry experience. Perfect grasp of written and spoken English. Enthusiasm, flexibility and a desire to foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment. How We Get Things Done… This last bit is probably the most important!
