  • Have strong communication skills

  • Be an eager, tenacious worker

  • Be open to working varied hours to cover sporting events, with a particular focus on the Victoria Royals

  • Have the ability to work alone

  • The successful candidate will be expected to work at NowMedia’s Victoria office in the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre

  • Usual work hours will be between 8 am and 4:30 pm but could vary to accommodate the coverage of live events
