JOB POSTING
POSITION TITLE: RADIO AND TELEVISION PRESENTATION TRAINER
REPORTS TO: IREX Program Representative
LOCATION: International, Remote
ABOUT IREX
IREX is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to building a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world by empowering youth, cultivating leaders, strengthening institutions, and extending access to quality education and information.
POSITION SUMMARY
IREX is seeking a PRESENTATION TRAINER to design and deliver a series of workshops and courses for Syrian media partners through IREX’s Supporting Independent Media in Syria II (SIMS-II) program. IREX has several partners (radio, TV and online) that produce Arabic-language broadcasts, including current affairs and news programs, to Syrian audiences.
The trainer will be required to help develop the presentation skills of radio presenters in both news, and current affairs programming, such as talkshows. The training will be primarily for radio, although there may also be a requirement to work with presenters on visual radio, and, possibly TV as partner radio stations are producing visual bulletins for multiple platforms. The training will focus on authoritative vocal delivery, interviewing skills, reacting to difficult situations (e.g., when things go wrong in the studio), and, in the case of TV, reading from the teleprompter. The training will be carried out remotely.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Designing practical workshops for presenters with an emphasis on replicating real-life presenting situations.
- Delivering the workshops in a way that focuses on practical application and feedback.
- Advice in best practice in studio and location presentation.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Minimum seven years’ experience working in broadcast media as a radio and TV presenter.
- Excellent training and communication skills.
- Experience of working in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) geographic region preferred.
- Demonstrable experience as a trainer.
- Native Arabic language essential.
