Rolf Hieringer was domestic correspondent for Graubünden at Radio SRF from 1993 to 1999, then producer and presenter of "Rendez-vous" for three years. From 2001 to 2003, he reported as foreign correspondent from the Middle East. This was followed by a return to Bern as team leader of "Info 3" until Rolf Hieringer took over as editorial director of "Nachrichten" in 2005. 

From 2010, Rolf Hieringer was Head of Department and Division of the Regional Editorial Offices and from 2011 also belonged to the Editorial Board of Radio SRF. In addition to his role as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Audio Editorial Department, he has also been responsible for the development of the department's digital offering since mid-2018. To this end, he has managed various complex projects for SRF and SRG in recent years. Now he has decided to set up his own business in the fall of 2022.

"After 29 years at SRF, the urge to try something new grew steadily. Starting in September, I'm now taking this step into an unknown working world and will go into business for myself and set up a consulting firm," says Rolf Hieringer.

According to SRF, Rolf Hieringer's successor has not yet been settled.
