2. The organisational ability and mental agility to keep on top of lots of different strands of moving facts simultaneously.
3. The judgement to protect our brand while maximising audience numbers.
4. Passion for live news, and ideas that will innovate.
5. Experience in handling breaking news scenarios.
6. Willing to adjust your work patterns when events require.
The Rewards:
There's one thing people can't stop talking about when it comes to #LifeAtSky: the perks. Here’s a taster:
1. Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place.
2. The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate.
3. Discounted mobile and broadband.
4. A wide range of Sky VIP rewards and experiences.
Inclusion:
We take pride in our approach to diversity and inclusion: we’ve been recognised by The Times and Stonewall for this, and we’ve committed £30 million to support the fight against racial injustice. We’ve also set ambitious targets for increasing ethnic diversity and representation throughout our organisation.
At Sky we don’t just look at your CV. We’re more focused on who you are and the potential you’ll bring to Sky. We also know that everyone has a life outside work, so we’re happy to discuss flexible working.
And we’ll do everything we can to support you during your application. If you need us to make any adjustments to our recruitment process, speak to our recruitment team who will be happy to support you.
