Our product vision is to make it effortless for all people and communities in Canada to tell and discover the stories that connect us. Whether delivering the latest breaking news, international hit series like North of North, deep dives into the issues of your town or neighbourhood, award winning podcasts like Someone Knows Something, or nation building events like the Olympics, our products ensure that these stories reach Canadians on their phones, TVs, desktops or smart speakers whenever they need or want us.
You have the opportunity to play a part in informing, enlightening and entertaining Canadians through innovative storytelling formats and content discovery. We are an empowered outcome-driven innovative hub for CBC, critical to the future growth of Canada’s public media company and the wider content ecosystem. We believe that we are most impactful when our teams reflect the breadth of experience of the audiences we serve and we are committed to an inclusive and equitable workplace to realize that belief.
