Radio Adelaide is a community station seeking an inspiring leader to take us into a new era of community broadcasting. The Station Manager will develop and implement a sustainable business model, manage all operational requirements, and fulfil the station’s strategic objectives.
Radio Adelaide is Australia’s longest-established community station, engaging the community around us through high-quality, locally focused, and original content that informs, educates, entertains, and inspires. Our programming includes an eclectic blend of arts, culture and ideas, with a particular strength in Indigenous and Ethnic programming (19 shows at last count). We hold an educational licence and welcome about 40 trainees a year into our Radio Essentials course.
Filling the Station Manager position will enable Radio Adelaide confidently to move into the next stage of our development, building on our existing strengths in giving a voice to Indigenous, Ethnic and other marginalised communities on Adelaide’s airwaves; establishing connections with local organisations; and developing an identity that matches our educational licence. We see this position as the last piece in the puzzle we have been solving since separating from the University of Adelaide in 2015 – the point where we can really start to make radio magic happen.
The ideal candidate has:
- a tertiary qualification in business management, and/or media (desirable);
- experience in community radio (essential);
- appropriate skills to carry out the key responsibilities of the job, including strategic development; operational matters; business development; programming and content; financial management; people management; stakeholder and community engagement; compliance and risk management; facilities management; and technology (essential).
