Who We Are:
It's an exciting time to join Marketplace. We are an industry leader in telling meaningful and creative stories on the radio with close to 13 million listeners, and we're evolving into a multi-media enterprise centered around the ambition of raising the economic intelligence of all Americans. Marketplace is an ambitious shop, fueled by ambitious ideas. This is a place of creativity and unorthodox thinking. We don't take ourselves too seriously, even though we understand the critical importance of people understanding how the economy shapes the world around us.
Marketplace is hiring a Producer, Podcasts, to join a growing on demand team of a successful suite of podcasts. The Producer would work on existing Marketplace podcasts, including our lifestyle podcast, This Is Uncomfortable. If you love examining the messiness of money and what it does to our lives, this is the job for you!
We’re looking for a creative producer who has excellent production chops; is a fierce booker, audio editor, and researcher; is well organized and detail-oriented; follows podcasts obsessively; and can thrive working in a collaborative team-environment, sometimes on multiple projects. As a producer here, you’d also be actively engaged in planning longer term episodes, and could take a series from start or finish, working between departments. Each of our production teams are small, so you’d be expected to take an active role in every part of the process, including pitching stories and themes, booking, editing audio, engaging, and growing our podcast audiences, and live event production.
We’re an ambitious shop, fueled by ambitious ideas. This is a place of creativity and unorthodox thinking. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, even though we understand the critical importance of people understanding how the economy shapes the world around us.
