About the role

We are looking for a hands-on creator to lead the production of our new original content slate, including podcasts, vodcasts, and digital-first video series. You won't just be managing files, you will be scripting, shooting, editing, and packaging stories that drive retention and revenue.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Production: Oversee the entire workflow for podcasts and original video series—from booking guests and scripting to recording and final edit. Comfort on camera is a bonus.
  • The Podcast Model: Ensure all video and long-form content is produced simultaneously for audio. You understand that a podcast is no longer just audio, it is a multi-platform asset.
  • Show Running: Manage production calendars, coordinate talent/guests, and ensure all deliverables hit deadlines for launch.
  • Growth Optimization: Collaborate with the Audience team to ensure all content is optimized for SEO, discoverability, and social cutting (Shorts/Reels) before it is published.
  • Technical Execution: Serve as the primary editor for high-priority projects and manage junior editors or freelancers when needed.
  • Swiss-Army-Knife: Ready in a pinch to assist the newsroom when needed with daily tasks.

What You Bring

  • Hybrid Skills: 5+ years of experience in both audio and video production. You can cut a compelling audio story and color-correct a video file.
  • Newsroom Fluency: You understand editorial standards and how to move at the speed of news, even when working on long-form content.
  • Platform Savvy: You know the difference between a YouTube thumbnail and a Spotify show tile, and why it matters.
  • Project Management: Proven ability to manage multiple series simultaneously without missing a publish date.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience launching a new podcast or video franchise from scratch.
  • Familiarity with remote recording tools and editing workflows
  • Experience producing content for CTV environments.
  • Platform expertise: YouTube, Spotify, and general Social Media management.

Salary Range: $80,000 - $90,000

Benefits: Our comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees includes, but not limited to, medical (with multiple plan options), dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, a 401(k) with company matching contributions, Paid Parental leave, life insurance and more.   Part time employees are eligible for 401(k) and any local/state leave plans.  Union positions are subject to the benefits outlined in their Collective Bargaining Agreement.
