Producer, On with Kara Swisher (Temporary)
About The Position
The Vox Media Podcast Network is seeking a temporary Producer for its award-winning show, On with Kara Swisher. This podcast reaches a large, influential audience and regularly features headline-making guests across politics, tech, and culture, including Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Sam Altman, Geoffrey Hinton, Bill Gates, Margaret Atwood, Laverne Cox, and Louis Theroux. This is a temporary backfill role covering parental leave and is expected to last approximately 20 weeks. We’re looking for someone who is highly organized, editorially sharp, and an excellent communicator. The ideal candidate is a strong collaborator and pragmatic problem solver who enjoys working as part of a team and brings curiosity, flexibility, and a positive attitude to the job. In this role, you’ll help manage many of the show’s day-to-day operations, from sourcing equipment for guests and booking studio time to creating contracts for freelancers. You should also be comfortable contributing across multiple aspects of show production, like research, booking guests, running Riverside sessions, editing rough cuts of audio files in ProTools, fact-checking, and selecting/posting clips on social media. Because the show is highly responsive to the news cycle, some assignments may extend into evenings or weekends. Flexibility is an important part of the workflow. If you’re interested in the role, please submit a cover letter along with your resume. And if you think you’d be a strong fit but don’t meet every qualification listed below, we still encourage you to apply. Use your cover letter to tell us how your experience and perspective would make you a valuable addition to the Vox Media Podcast Network team.
