Your Next Opportunity:

This role can be Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington or Christchurch based.

You’ll be keen and able to work across a range of programmes as required – from Overnights to holiday and weekend shows. You’ll keep New Zealand informed and entertained through thoughtful conversation, breaking news, interviews and live callers.

How You’ll Make It Happen:

• A strong, warm on-air presence with excellent communication skills
• Confidence handling live talkback and engaging a diverse audience
• The ability to think quickly and respond calmly to unexpected situations
• A solid awareness of news, current affairs and issues relevant to New Zealanders

Who You’ll Be Joining

• Live, nationwide exposure on New Zealand’s number one talk station
• Support from a highly experienced programming and newsroom team
• A valuable opportunity to build on-air experience with a premium media brand

If you’re comfortable behind the mic, adaptable, and at your best when most of the country is asleep, we’d love to hear from you.
