We’re looking for a sharp, curious, and technically skilled Sound Editor/Junior Producer to join our podcast team focused on business news and current affairs. You’ll play a key role in shaping the sound and flow of our episodes—from editing raw interviews to supporting production logistics. This hybrid role is ideal for someone who’s equally comfortable with a waveform and a calendar.
Key Responsibilities
Audio Editing & Post-production
• Edit and mix interviews, news wraps, and host reads into tight, polished episodes
• Ensure broadcast-quality sound using EQ, noise reduction, compression, and leveling
• Add theme music, stings, and appropriate sound design while maintaining journalistic tone and clarity
• Manage file organization, backups, episode masters
Production Support
• Assist with scheduling and coordinating recordings with hosts, guests, and contributors
• Support hosts and senior producers during remote or in-person recordings
• Help draft show outlines, prep notes, and episode scripts
• Monitor episode timelines and ensure smooth post-production workflow
• Contribute to repurposing audio content for social media (audiograms, quotes, clips, etc.)
Requirements
• 2–3 years of experience in podcast production and sound editing
• Proficiency in DAWs such as Adobe Audition, Reaper, or Pro Tools
• Solid grasp of news-driven storytelling, journalistic integrity, and audio pacing
• Familiarity with business or financial topics (or strong interest and willingness to learn)
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to take feedback and work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience editing podcast content and Interviews
• Understanding of RSS, podcast publishing platforms, and metadata
• Familiarity with remote recording tools (e.g., Riverside, Streamyard, Zoom)
• Comfortable working with transcriptions and research tools
• Exposure to newsrooms or content-driven media organizations is a plus
What We Offer
• Mentorship from senior producers and editors
• Opportunity to grow into a full producer role
• A collaborative, deadline-driven, and curious team environment.
