Podcast Producer

We develop, produce and grow our own successful podcasts, and work with brands to help them do the same.

Everyone has a story to tell — but how do you tell it in a way that really resonates? We keep audiences at the centre of everything we do, focus on audio quality and champion creative storytelling.

As Message Heard’s newest full-time in-house producer, you’ll be tasked with producing an exciting show for some high profile talent, as well as supporting productions on both the branded and editorial sides of the business. Your primary focus will be producing a show which interviews thought leaders, scientists, and intellectuals who are shaping the future and transforming our culture.

This is why we’re looking for a producer with a minimum of 2+ years of experience who can apply a broad range of thinking and creativity to projects of any sort! We’re looking for a very personable producer who is able to prioritise and adapt to last minute schedule changes, including being available for possible late recording times, and who will embrace working on or supporting the teams working across our editorial slate. The ideal candidate will have experience with in-person recordings, as well as with scripting, audio editing and talent management. MH has also added some incredible podcasts to our slate that explores the world of video podcasts, so a willingness to work in this area with us will be a desirable quality.

Reporting to our Production Manager via your line manager, the ideal candidate is a talented writer and communicator who has a passion for the craft and a proven track record for producing high-quality content, especially centred in the world of science and technology.
