    Senior Multi-Media Journalist, Digital - BBC Hausa Service

    Role Responsibility

    We are looking for a senior digital journalist to shape digital editorial development and delivery across all our digital platforms and to help influence the growth of digital skills and approaches across the whole of the BBC Hausa team. Our ambitions are high for BBC Hausa; we want to expand our digital footprint globally. You’ll be expected to lead our push for even more diaspora audiences.

    At your core, you’re a journalist. One who finds great stories and content that the world needs to know. In this role, you’ll retain everything you are as a journalist, but you will bring to bear the innate ability you have to tell your stories in the new ways our digital audience wants to consume them. That will, more often than not, be a mobile first approach. It will be snappy, it will be on demand, it will be intriguing; without ever losing sight of the authority and presence that a BBC news story carries.

    We’ll also want you to ensure that your colleagues work in the same way, and truly understand the vision you hold. So influence, authority, presence and delivery will be key to your success in this role.

    The Ideal Candidate

    It goes without saying that you will be an innovator, who is always looking for the next way that our audiences will consume their media, but you will still need to make sure we are looking after our current digital platforms. How can you visually represent a story in a few pictures? How can you create a quick video that is easy to digest and delivers the facts? You tell us how you can do all that and we’ll give you the freedom to make it happen.

    You will bring demonstrable experience in a previous paid journalist role, as well as first class written and spoken Hausa and English.
