Voice of Wits is looking for a station manager to lead an energetic team on this innovative and award-winning campus radio station

• Organisational and Resource Development: ensuring that infrastructure and administrative systems work optimally
• Financial Management: controlling expenditure and ensuring that sales targets are met to ensure sustainability
• Staff Management, development and stakeholder relationships
• Programming, community and compliance: overseeing programme quality and ensuring the station fulfils its obligations to its community of listeners as well as statutory requirements.
Requirements:
• a degree in a relevant field;
• at least two years’ experience in radio station management; or experience in both media management and radio totalling at least three years.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills;
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a proven ability to persuade and to manage a large team of staff, interns, volunteers and cooperation; and to relate to a wide range of stakeholders;
• A clear understanding of the different purposes of the station, and an ability to integrate community service, skills development and sustainability in the context of a university radio station;
• Strong organisational skills;
• Passion, idealism, integrity, a positive attitude, mission-driven and self-directed;
• A background in programming, technical, sales or marketing aspects of radio, or in skills development, would be a strong recommendation. |
