Job introduction
The BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years. Across key products including BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sport, BBC Weather, bbc.co.uk and now BBC Sounds, we entertain, educate and inform audiences in their millions every day.
Delivering it is going to require a fundamental reshaping of the BBC’s culture and how we work. For the new Content Metadata workstream in our Content Production Workflows department, the first task is a ground-up rethink of our approaches to describing and classifying all of our content -- journalism, audio, video and digital alike.
Working with the Editorial and Technical leads on Common Metadata, the Data Manager will help to answer these questions and ask more like them.

• Excellent communication skills and passionate about metadata
