Supervising Producer, A Touch More & Bird's Eye View
About The Position
The Vox Media Podcast Network is seeking an experienced Supervising Producer to lead “A Touch More” and “Bird’s Eye View,” two weekly flagship women’s sports and lifestyle podcasts. This role will oversee production teams and collaborate with host talent to maintain the shows’ high editorial quality, and pursue innovation. You will act as both a creative developer and as a showrunner, ensuring production excellence while also serving as a key liaison for advertising partnerships and live events. The ideal candidate has experience building standout digital video shows, has deep sports knowledge (particularly women’s sports), understands how to build brands around talent, is an ardent consumer of online creator content, and knows how to develop programming strategies tailored for YouTube, podcasts, and other digital-first platforms. Prior hands-on experience in technical audio and video production is preferred, as you'll be expected to provide detailed creative and technical feedback to support production teams in executing programmatically compelling and visually dynamic shows. As the strategic lead across both shows, the Supervising Producer will create editorial and operational synergies while building on each show's unique value proposition and furthering their reach with target audiences.
Requirements
- Digital Success: A proven track record of launching and producing successful shows on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or podcast networks. You have deep familiarity with the podcast landscape, and how podcast strategy differs from other visual-first formats.
- Social Media Strategy: A broad, current understanding of platform-specific best practices (e.g., TikTok hook rates, YouTube thumbnail strategy, Instagram Reels trends) and an appreciation of what drives engagement in a manner that is true to brand
- Talent Experience: High-level experience working directly with influencers, creators, or talent management teams to build scalable, personality-driven IP.
- Sports Background: Strong familiarity with collegiate and professional women’s sports leagues (especially WNBA and NWSL) and the big storylines around the intersection of sports and culture – specific fandoms appreciated but not required
- Production Fluency: Strong creative instincts combined with technical production fluency—you’ve been in the weeds of audio/video production and understand how to coordinate with teams on lighting/set pieces, editing, and post-production. You have an understanding of many different types of production set-ups, from multi-cam studio to live event and remote recordings.
- Tech Stack: Familiarity with, if not hands-on experience with, video post-production apps (Adobe Creative Cloud – Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop), audio apps (ProTools / Audition), and recording/editing software (Descript, Riverside)
- Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, leadership, and collaboration skills.
- Editorial Judgment: Strong editorial judgment and the ability to balance brand tone, platform expectations, and audience needs.
- Project Management: Highly organized and self-motivated, able to drive projects from concept to delivery.
Responsibilities
- Creative & Editorial Leadership: Lead talent meetings with a strategic, big-picture lens around weekly topic generation, overseeing the creation of show outlines and scripts to ensure content remains fresh, relevant, and engaging.
- Talent & Booking Management: Provide strategic input on guest bookings; scout and cultivate host talent in key categories (sports, lifestyle, culture), evaluating for original perspectives and charismatic presence. Coordinate bookings across both shows to ensure diversity of weekly topics and guests and distinguishing different show propositions
- Live Programming Coordination: Serve as the live programming lead from an editorial and podcast production standpoint, collaborating with internal and external teams to execute sponsorships and live events.
- Production Oversight: Supervise show teams, providing oversight on scripting, creative feedback, and troubleshooting executional challenges; assembling rough episode assemblies via text-based editing platforms as needed.
- Quality Control: Act as a creative lead and quality steward for audio/video productions across platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Instagram/TikTok).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with talent management, marketing, and sales teams to align programming with broader company goals.
- Strategy & Analysis: Guide the creative strategy for both podcasts with a keen understanding of platform nuances (YouTube algorithms vs. Reels engagement vs. audio podcast promotion) and stay current on trends in digital content and audience behavior.
