The Role
The role is responsible for supporting the efficient operation of the GMB media management operation.
This is primarily a craft editing role, alongside responsibility for quality control and media management within Avid systems.
The Editing Media Manager will edit high-quality news and programme content to tight deadlines, using strong editorial judgement and creative craft skills to produce polished, high-impact reports and films. The role requires confident editing of pictures and sound, including the creative use of graphics, music, visual and audio effects, while maintaining GMB's editorial and technical standards.
The postholder will work closely with journalists, producers and programme editors, often under significant time pressure, to shape material, solve editorial and technical problems, and ensure content is ready for transmission. They will quality-check completed packages for PSE, video and audio errors and make any necessary corrections before transmission.

The postholder may also be expected to train journalists and picture editors in the use of tools including Avid MCCUX, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro and Woody ingest systems.
The position requires shift working across both craft editing and media management shifts, including regular overnight working, with flexibility to meet the demands of a fast-paced, live news environment.
