About the role

Mansueto Ventures, the publisher of Inc. and Fast Company, is looking for an audio producer who will be responsible for producing podcast episodes and segments for Inc and Fast Company, including interview shows, narrative-style series, and YouTube. This includes pitching segments, interview prep, booking guests, recording remotely and in-person, scripting, editing transcripts, writing copy, and publishing episodes. The audio producer will ensure advertising requirements are met by recording promos and inserting ads into episodes.
