Job description

Digital Meteorologist

Atlanta, GA (Brookhaven) — onsite 3 days/week (Tues-Thurs) 3+month Contract (W2) — current end date: January 1, 2027

Overview: Our client is seeking a Digital Meteorologist who can develop and present weather content on camera for web, mobile app, and social video experiences. This role sits in a fast-paced digital newsroom environment - you’ll deliver clear, accurate forecasts and weather storytelling for multiple regional markets through recorded and real-time video, supported by strong editorial judgment and modern weather-graphics tools.

This is ideal for a meteorologist who enjoys being a credible, engaging on-camera “host” for digital audiences - polished and professional.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver recorded and real-time on-camera weather updates for web/app video (with some content adapted for social channels).
• Cover current conditions, forecasts, major weather events, and broader trends across multiple regional markets.
• Produce and refresh forecasts multiple times during a shift (often for ~a dozen markets).
• Build and present weather segments using graphics/presentation tools (experience with TruVu Max is a plus).
• Prepare and organize show/segment elements (graphics, maps, forecast assets) to support clean, accurate delivery.
• Proofread and coordinate updates/corrections to ensure accuracy, clarity, and readability.
• Collaborate with newsroom partners (and, at times, producer/edit support) while staying self-directed and efficient.
• Flex to support breaking weather, including severe weather and hurricane coverage as needed (which may include extended hours/weekends).

Desired On-Camera Style (Digital)

We’re looking for a polished but high energy and engaging presentation style:

• Credible and polished, but conversational and natural
• Engaging, dynamic, and personable on camera
• Professional and brand-appropriate (not overly casual or amateur)
• Able to adjust tone and format depending on web/app video vs. social

Candidates with traditional TV meteorology experience are welcome— especially if you can adapt your delivery for a more natural digital format.

Requirements

• 3+ years relevant meteorology/on-camera experience (or comparable).
• Strong forecasting fundamentals with the ability to explain patterns and impacts clearly.
• Experience presenting weather live and/or taped on camera.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
• Comfort working in a high-velocity newsroom environment with minimal hand-holding.
• Work samples/reel demonstrating on-camera weather presentation (digital clips strongly preferred).

Preferred

• Experience creating weather graphics and/or using systems like WSI TruVu Max (or similar platforms).
• Experience covering severe weather across seasons.

Benefits

• medical
• dental
• vision
• disability
• life insurance
• 401k
• commuter benefits

The hourly pay rate range for this position is $40 to $45 per hour (dependent on factors including but not limited to client requirements, experience, statutory considerations, and location).
