- Embrace the latest technology to filter information and stay ahead of competitors
- Be a reliable, flexible and constructive presence on a fast-moving team
- Collaborate closely with colleagues across our global newsroom to anticipate and prepare for major news developments, be it coverage planning or tool maintenance
