About CNN Weather
CNN Weather is defining how 21st century audiences understand and engage with weather — on every screen, every day. We’re combining world-class meteorology, innovative design and real-time data to create experiences that inform and inspire. Join us as we build the future of weather storytelling.

The Job 

This role is for a strong meteorologist and self-describing weather nerd to represent CNN Weather on digital platforms and its new mobile product. You’ll deliver real-time forecasts and nowcasts, help create on-demand videos, and work with the team to produce daily forecasts and write sharp, accurate stories.


The ideal candidate is a strong writer who thrives in the breaking news environment, can deliver level-headed expertise in weather and climate science, and knows how to engage audiences on digital platforms.


This person will join one of CNN’s most innovative multi-platform teams, working directly with other meteorologists and climate experts to forecast, analyze and explain weather events, including hurricanes, blizzards, tornado outbreaks and geomagnetic storms. The ideal candidate is fascinated by the natural world, thrives in a fast-paced news environment and has their finger on the pulse of emerging trends.


Finally, this person must embody the CNN Climate & Weather team’s ethos — we are looking for a team-oriented collaborator who values diversity, elevates their colleagues and enjoys working with other teams, including reporters, producers and product developers.

The Daily

  • Collaborate with the team as a meteorologist in the execution of live coverage during hurricanes, tornado outbreaks, severe ice storms, life-threatening floods and more

  • Report and write urgent, live updating digital coverage for CNN’s digital platforms in extreme weather situations

  • Support live streams for CNN Weather on our mobile platform, working with video meteorologists to help our audience understand extreme weather

  • Pitch and script video-on-demand packages — from quick hits on the weather of the day to deeper explainers

  • Participate in live Q&As, incorporate audience questions into our coverage and adapt in the moment as conditions change

  • Partner with video producers/editors and motion graphics to build compelling, data-rich visuals that help audiences understand risk and impact

  • Shape secondary story ideas and angles around the weather story of the moment, e.g. expanding drought in the American West; deadly “monsoon on steroids” in South Asia; glacier outburst flooding in Alaska

  • File clean, crisp copy on the first draft and be comfortable switching between quick updates and high-concept enterprise as news demands

The Essentials

  • A degree in meteorology

  • At least 3 years of digital editorial experience

  • Experience covering fast-moving weather on a public-facing platform

  • Understanding of latest digital video trends, including how to capture, captivate and hold an audience

  • A collaborative, team-oriented attitude

  • Ability to frame stories for national and global audiences

  • Eagerness to work outside the regular 9 to 5 during major weather events

  • Proven ability to translate complex science concepts

  • The ability to write briefly and breezily

  • Strong pitching and headline instincts

  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills

How We Get Things Done…

This last bit is probably the most important! Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done. You can find them at www.wbd.com/guiding-principles/ along with some insights from the team on what they mean and how they show up in their day to day.
