JOB INTRODUCTION

The BBC “really has a proven record of reshaping itself over a whole century to stay relevant through major industry changes. From the birth of TV to the first steps into the digital world.

Now we must transform ourselves again to increase relevance in a time of limitless choice and interactivity.”
