About the role

Citizen’s Mission Control faces real-time incident verification and public communication. The Live Safety Broadcaster role combines on-air presence with live incident narration, operating from the Mission Control studio in New York, to deliver accurate, credible safety information to a large audience during major incidents.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor live incident feeds, scanner audio, user video, and data streams across multiple markets.
  • Verify incidents fast and accurately: confirm what's real, flag what isn't, protect against panic and misinformation.
  • Author and send incident titles, updates, and push notifications that meet editorial standards.
  • Coordinate with field creators, users going live, and partner responders to build a real-time picture of active scenes.
  • Hold the line under pressure: stay calm, clear, and accurate while a situation is still unfolding.
  • Broadcast live from the Mission Control studio during major incidents, narrating events in real time to a live audience of hundreds to thousands of users.
  • Deliver clear, credible, human commentary on camera: explaining what's happening, what's verified, what's still unknown, and how the community can safely help.
  • Drive live participation: prompt viewers to look around, go live, and contribute to a real-time “transparency zone.”
  • Interact with the live audience: read the room, respond to comments and community reports, and keep viewers engaged without sacrificing accuracy or dignity.
  • Build a following: become a recognizable, trusted on-air presence over time.
  • Partner with content and social teams to turn live broadcasts into clips, highlights, and cross-platform moments.
  • Help refine the on-air playbook: pacing, tone, what works on camera during a real incident, and what doesn’t.

Qualifications

  • A personality that comes through on camera: warm, credible, watchable.
  • Experience live streaming: comfortable on camera, unscripted, extended stretches.
  • Social media savvy: understanding how live content lands and travels.
  • Quick on your feet verbally; able to narrate developing situations clearly.
  • Comfortable being a public face; visible by design.
  • Sharp judgment under pressure; calm under stress.
  • Fast, accurate, and detail-obsessed; avoids spreading rumors as facts.
  • Deeply mission-aligned and respectful of real people involved in incidents.
