• Set deadlines, clearly communicate those deadlines and keep the team on track

• Work with and manage both internal and external talent, executives, guests and hosts

• Pitch episode ideas, and handle all pre-interview, interview, reporting, recording, and writing of stories and scripts

• Get episodes prepped for editors before the edit, and then work with editors to deliver episodes in good shape (from preliminary structure with a script, to stringing out a rough and fine edits, to scoring and delivery)

• Select tape, pitch angles on stories, participate in and at times run group edits

• Work alongside multiple internal partners, stakeholders, executives, external partners and outside agencies

• Perpetually remain up-to-speed on the latest news in the entertainment, technology and podcasting space

• Work closely with internal data resources to deeply understand consumer behavior and find opportunities to capitalize on that information

• You understand the mechanics of audio production fully

• Preference for working with a highly collaborative team

• Strong ability to keep open lines of communication on a team

• Creative and motivated self-starter with a hands-on attitude and tireless work ethic
