About the role

News Watch 12 in Medford, Oregon, is seeking a Chief Meteorologist to lead weather coverage across broadcast and digital platforms. The ideal candidate has a meteorology degree and at least two years of broadcast meteorology experience; familiarity with WSI MAX is a plus and strong writing, speaking, and organizational skills are essential. This role requires a pre-employment drug screen and background check, a valid Oregon driver’s license, and the ability to lift equipment up to 50 pounds.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
