You liaise and collaborate with colleagues on the Afternoon Drive radio team.
You love audio-storytelling and find creative ways to make the most of the medium, while also thinking about how that Windsor Morning content would look on digital and video.
You are a team player and work well with others, bringing a positive and collaborative attitude to your work. You are an experienced leader and clear communicator who can inspire and motivate your team. You are keen to lean into a changing industry.
