We're looking for two "Swiss Army knife" audio journalists who are equally skilled and comfortable with story editing, producing, and mixing for podcasts. Each one should be excited about helping develop, prototype, pilot, and/or edit a variety of podcast projects - from news and analysis to produced interviews to long-form narrative. They are a versatile storyteller, and can work across a range of shows as a producer, lead producer or story editor, with a special focus on developing new projects for KQED Podcasts. We imagine the responsibilities of the role may shift depending on the project - some shorter-term, some longer-term - but the people in these positions will not be asked to be both producer and editor on the same project.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society - including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people - and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
The mission that drives us:

KQED provide citizens of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.

This role will work hybrid between working in KQED's newly renovated headquarters and working remotely. KQED requires employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
