Investigative Reporters & Editors, Inc. is hiring : Producer, Audio in New York

We will accept applications for this role at least until Oct. 1 at 9 a.m. ET.

ProPublica, the country’s largest investigative news organization, is seeking an accomplished audio producer for a new weekly podcast series based on our reporting. Although ProPublica has already co-produced several successful podcasts — including “We Don’t Talk About Leonard” and “Trump, Inc.” — the creation of our own weekly podcast represents a new venture for us. We’re looking for a highly skilled audio producer with a track record of creating compelling narrative audio from rigorous reporting.

The producer will lead production on individual episodes of the show, which will translate reporters’ work into audio. You will support the host in crafting incisive interview strategies, shaping story arcs, pulling tape, writing scripts and tracking. And you’ll partner with reporters to gather tape and shape the audio versions of their stories.

The producer will report to the senior producer, audio. This is a temporary, two-year role with the possibility of extension.

Key aspects of the job :

• Produce weekly podcast episodes from start to finish, managing multiple episodes simultaneously.
• Identify guests and sources to interview; prep the host by planning questions and narrative arcs; coordinate logistics for interviews.
• Gather tape, at times accompanying writers on reporting trips.
• Write scripts, ensuring accuracy and journalistic integrity.
• Edit tape and create assemblies in Pro Tools.
• Conduct research and ensure strong journalistic ethics and fact-checking processes throughout production.
• Foster relationships with reporters appearing on ProPublica’s podcast; coach reporters in audio techniques and on-air presence.

Our ideal candidate will have many of these skills :

This job is full time on a temporary, two-year basis, and it includes benefits. ProPublica is based in New York, but we’re open to remote candidates. We have offices in New York City; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; Chicago; Austin, Texas; Phoenix; and Berkeley, California. Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.

The expected salary range for this position is $85,000 to $110,000.

This is a good-faith estimate of what we expect to pay for this position. The final salary figure will take into account a person’s experience, accomplishment and location. ProPublica is committed to paying its staff equitably, and these ranges should not be considered career salary limits or caps.

We will begin reviewing applications as we receive them but will accept applications at least until Oct. 1 at 9 a.m. ET.
