The Role We are looking for a Podcast Producer who thrives on ideas - someone who can spot opportunities, develop them into strong stories, and see them through to delivery. At Message Heard, producers sit at the creative heart of everything we do: they take concepts and turn them into distinctive programmes that resonate with audiences and deliver value for our partners.
This is a role for someone who can think both editorially and strategically, who understands the craft of podcasting but is excited by how it evolves - from immersive audio storytelling to video-first podcast formats and multiplatform adaptations. You’ll help shape how stories are developed, structured, and told, working collaboratively with our in-house teams and external partners.
Responsibilities
- Develop, structure, and produce podcasts from concept through to final delivery.
- Shape storylines, manage editorial flow, and ensure clarity and quality across episodes.
- Identify stories and talent, and contribute to development and pitch materials.
- Produce across audio and video podcast formats, collaborating closely with creative and post teams.
- Manage production schedules, budgets, and delivery timelines to maintain creative and commercial excellence.
- Work with clients and collaborators to align editorial ambition with strategic goals.
- Support audience growth and show development through thoughtful production choices.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience producing podcasts or comparable longform narrative or factual content.
- Strong editorial instincts and a deep understanding of audio storytelling craft.
- Experience working across multiple formats - ideally including video podcasting or hybrid production.
- Ability to take ideas from development to delivery with clarity and confidence.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Collaborative mindset - able to work fluidly with internal teams, external talent, and clients.
- Creative curiosity and entrepreneurial energy: motivated by making work that cuts through.
