Axel Springer seeks a CvD/Editor (m/f/d) in Berlin

Axel Springer is hiring a CvD/Editor in Berlin to expand its premium news output. The company seeks an experienced professional with a background in television journalism. Fluency in both German and English is required for the position.

The role demands a strong track record in shaping news and magazine programmes for TV. Candidates must have prior experience as an Editor-in-Chief or Deputy Editor in television news. Responsibilities will include producing live broadcasts, overseeing control room operations, and ensuring smooth programme execution.

The successful applicant will craft a variety of content, from news briefs and voice-overs to live reports and interviews. They will also develop features, news packages, and reporter segments for different broadcasts. A sharp instinct for engaging stories and clear narrative structure is essential for the job. Applicants need a degree, a completed journalistic traineeship, or equivalent professional training. The position requires shift work, including weekends and public holidays. Axel Springer, led by CEO Mathias Döpfner in Berlin, operates without a single company-wide Editor-in-Chief but maintains editorial leadership across its various titles.

The new editor will join a team focused on high-quality news production. Their work will contribute to Axel Springer’s presence in the premium media segment. The role combines editorial oversight with hands-on content creation for television audiences.
