Senior Editor, Stories Team

How do you reach an 18-year-old on TikTok and an older viewer of our television news with journalism that matters? That question is central to the Stories Team. We are looking for a senior editor who understands social media through and through, has sharp journalistic instincts, and gets energy from coaching talented creators.

With every news story, you ask the question: what does this concretely mean for the target audience you want to reach? You contribute ideas for new formats and encourage experimentation with platform specific storytelling methods. Working in the Stories Team, you collaborate closely with the senior editors of the News Team and the Region & Investigation Team.

As a senior editor, you are responsible for the editorial direction of the newsroom on the day itself. You ensure that the right stories reach our audience at the right time via the right platform. You monitor editorial coherence and hold ultimate responsibility for all published content, whether in text, video, or audio.

• Determining daily priorities and distributing work within the team;

• Coordinating the content flow to all our platforms (online, TV, and socials);

• Guiding editors on the content and form of stories;

• Leading editorial meetings and contributing creative angles;

• Evaluating published items together with the editorial staff and team leader.

You work closely with the Stories Team Leader. As a senior editor, you provide direction to the journalistic content and collaboration, without hierarchical responsibility.

We are looking for a professional who combines journalistic experience with coaching qualities and a sharp eye for content and collaboration. The primary emphasis lies on video production. It is a plus if you can provide editorial guidance for written articles and the TV newsroom. Due to the composition of the senior editorial team, we are seeking a candidate with extensive experience in social media. Naturally, there is  room for your creativity, and you enjoy focusing on different types of news consumers. You are someone who…

• Takes responsibility and shows ownership in everything you do. 

• Communicates clearly, purposefully, and with impact, switches gears quickly, and remains calm under pressure. 

• Plans and organizes smartly, always maintaining an overview of the bigger picture. 

• Looks sharply at quality and relevance and knows what matters. 

• Acts proactively and stimulates innovation on the work floor. 

• Contributes to a positive and learning editorial environment, where collaboration is central.

• Experiments and dares to go off the beaten path.

We are a committed regional broadcaster with an eye for the people in our region. Our values guide how we work:

• Responsible progress - You think in solutions and work purposefully. 

• Energy in connection  - You work together with pleasure and know how to inspire others. 

• Ownership with impact  - You take initiative and make a difference. 

• Adventurous curiosity  - You experiment and continue to develop yourself. 

• Always relevant  - You know what is happening and translate that into news that matters. 

Omroep Gelderland is undergoing an organizational change in which we are building a future-oriented, target-audience-oriented newsroom. As a senior editor, you play an important role in this transition.
