We’re looking for a passionate and detail-focused Content Navigator to join our Brisbane newsroom.

You’ll also assist with content appraisal and retention, support migration across systems such as Stratus and CoDA, and contribute to improving metadata quality and consistency across news workflows.

This role offers flexible hybrid working arrangements, with two rostered offsite days per week. This role includes weekend shifts (approximately one per month), rotating late shifts (approximately one per week) and some Public Holidays.

- Strong understanding of content management and metadata principles, applied across a range of digital media formats.

- A commitment to the ABC’s Values – Aim High, Think Differently, Take Ownership, Deliver Together – and to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and diverse workplace.

What We Offer

- A meaningful role helping to preserve Australia’s cultural and journalistic records
