Job Description

KATU News is seeking a creative, forward-thinking Evening Meteorologist to lead weather coverage across our broadcast and digital platforms. We're looking for more than a great forecaster. We want an innovative storyteller and newsroom leader who can help viewers prepare for what's ahead by tracking the "next big weathermaker" and explaining how changing conditions will impact their lives.

The ideal candidate combines strong forecasting skills with engaging, conversational storytelling and a willingness to experiment with new ways to reach audiences. This role requires someone who can take ownership of our evening weather coverage, develop original reporting, and help shape the future of local weather.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver accurate, engaging, and conversational weather forecasts during evening newscasts, with an emphasis on tracking the next big weathermaker and its potential impacts.
  • Take a leadership role in shaping the station's weather coverage and identifying opportunities for innovation.
  • Develop original, enterprise weather stories that go beyond the daily forecast to explain trends, impacts, and issues affecting our communities.
  • Create compelling, platform-specific content, including short-form videos, explainers, live streams, and interactive storytelling.
  • Experiment with emerging technology, new storytelling formats, and creative approaches to audience engagement.
  • Provide authoritative, calm, and timely coverage during breaking and severe weather, including live cut-ins and extended coverage.
  • Collaborate with newsroom leadership, producers, reporters, and digital teams to develop creative and impactful weather coverage.
  • Build strong connections with viewers through authentic storytelling, audience interaction, and community engagement.
  • Help establish KATU as a trusted, innovative source for weather information across the Portland DMA.
  • Represent the station professionally on-air, online, and at community events.

Qualifications

  • Degree in Meteorology, Atmospheric Science, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong forecasting skills and a confident, conversational on-air presentation style.
  • Demonstrated creativity and a willingness to challenge traditional approaches to weather storytelling.
  • Experience or strong interest in developing original content for social media, streaming, and emerging platforms.
  • Strong leadership and collaboration skills, with the ability to inspire new ideas and help bring them to life.
  • Ability to explain complex weather topics in clear, relatable, and audience-focused ways.
  • Comfortable experimenting, taking creative risks, and adapting to changing audience habits.
  • Ability to work effectively under deadline pressure and respond quickly during severe or breaking weather.
  • Commitment to Sinclair's core values and weather philosophy.

What We're Looking For

We want a meteorologist who sees opportunity beyond the forecast. Someone who is passionate about helping viewers understand what's coming next, asks "How can we tell this story differently?" and is willing to turn creative ideas into meaningful coverage.

If you're passionate about forecasting, energized by innovation, and ready to help shape the future of local weather coverage, we want to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
