Job Description

WarnerMedia showcases some of the most iconic and cherished entertainment, news and sports brands in the world, but we are much more than that. WarnerMedia is truly where art meets science. Our combination of cutting-edge technology and an unrivaled commitment to groundbreaking storytelling builds a sense of community and meaningful connection that is shaping the future of media. We create rewarding opportunities across our entire family of brands, while championing a spirit of inclusion, innovation, self-development and support. Join WarnerMedia as we think big, live true and make the stories that move the world.

The Job
Quest Means Business is the flagship business program on CNN International, and its writers hold the key to its success. We are looking for a writer who is not just content to churn out a copy or regurgitate press releases but believes in the power of the written word to transform a segment. Harnessing the voice of our anchor Richard Quest, your scripts will power a program that strives to be different from the competition, breaking news to the world and dispelling the myth that business is boring. As a writer, you will have the creative freedom and imagination to creatively craft segments that leap off the screen – whether it's through a quick-witted turn of phrase or an ingenious metaphor, an innovative graphic, or a perfectly deployed piece of sound.

The Daily
You will report to the show's executive editor and will take a key role in shaping the editorial direction of the program. This is the rare opportunity to marry your passion for the news, with the literary style and flair for which other media won't allow room. If you have the creativity, confidence, and capacity to work on a show that prizes originality over almost anything else, then this is your chance to craft segments that will be seen and shared the world over. (P.S. – can you spot the split infinitive in this paragraph?)

The Essentials
This writer must have a minimum of 2 years of television writing experience. This person should have first-class writing skills and news judgment. The successful candidate will have exceptional creative abilities and be able to work cooperatively with a high-performing team to take both programs to the next level. The successful candidate must have a body of work that demonstrates his/her success at generating creative TV ideas both in-studio and infield. Business news experience is preferred, but not required.
