Description:

We’re building a digital-first weather platform designed for YouTube and social—fast, clear, and built around how audiences actually consume content today.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide rapid, real-time coverage during major weather events
• Translate complex meteorological data into clear, engaging content
• Test and iterate on formats (long-form, short-form, live)
• Contribute to content planning, segments, and recurring series
• Engage with audience feedback, questions, and trends
• Help shape the voice and presentation style of the channel

Who You Are:

• Strong foundation in forecast modeling (GFS, ECMWF, NAM), radar and satellite analysis, and severe weather forecasting, including synoptic and mesoscale meteorology
• Ability to interpret data quickly and communicate it in a clear, accessible way
• Experience producing or delivering weather forecasts on any platform
• Confident on camera, or able to develop on-air presence quickly
• Clear, direct communicator who avoids unnecessary jargon
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, test-and-learn environment
• Self-starter who operates with speed and accountability
• Familiar with—or motivated to learn—YouTube and social content dynamics
• Strong perspective on how weather coverage can evolve

Helpful, But Not Required:

• AMS CBM or NWA Seal
• Prior on-air experience (TV, streaming, or digital)
• Experience covering live or severe weather
• Basic production skills (camera, lighting, audio)
• Existing audience or content presence
