Posted 136 weeks ago

A full time position
Fully remote: working with a USA-based team at Vox Media.

As the leading independent modern media company, Vox Media ignites conversations and influences culture. Across digital, podcasts, TV, streaming, live events, and print, we tell stories that affect our audience's daily lives and entertain as much as they inform.

Our portfolio features influential and respected editorial properties including Vox, New York Magazine, The Verge, The Cut, Eater, Vulture, The Strategist, Polygon, SB Nation, Intelligencer, Curbed, Grub Street, and Recode. Off-platform, the Vox Media Podcast Network offers one of the largest collections of popular podcasts, and Vox Media Studios produces and distributes the award-winning nonfiction shows. Powered by innovative technology that scales quality, the Chorus publishing platform and Concert advertising marketplace answer the always-changing needs of modern audiences, creators and marketers.

Vox Media has been named one of Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies in Media,” an Inc. “Company of the Year,” Digiday’s “Best Company for Parents,” and one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign.

As Lead Producer at the Vox Media Podcast Network, your work will span production and development: managing weekly delivery of popular talk/interview shows, and collaborating with teams across the company to pilot new podcasts.

For always-on shows, you'll collaborate with hosts to plan, script, record, and deliver episodes on a deadline that meet VMPN's standards of editorial excellence. On these shows, you may also oversee the work of Associate Producers/Engineers.

You'll also play a lead role in new show development, creating a project plan to guide strong pitches through the piloting process and internal evaluation (and potentially, up to launch).

This is a dynamic role that's ideal for a versatile producer: someone who excels at hands-on weekly production and has a background in producing successful talk shows, and also seeks to lead creative teams embarking on new projects and audio experiments.

What you’ll bring:
