Modern Wisdom is hiring: NOW HIRING - Digital Producer in Austin
Modern Wisdom, Austin, TX, US
Studio Producer – Modern Wisdom Location: Austin, Texas (On-site)
Type: Full-Time
Experience: 3+ years in a live or studio-based podcast/video production role
Modern Wisdom — one of the world’s leading long-form podcasts exploring human behavior, philosophy, performance, and culture — is hiring a Studio Producer to manage live show capture, studio operations, and technical execution alongside the host.
This is not a clipboard-and-calendar production role.
This is your chance to help us to identify and craft key topics, which guests to invite on, and most importantly help shape the direction of the show.
Run the in-room technical setup for every podcast: multi-cam switching, audio levels, lighting, playback, and quality control
• Manage all studio hardware/software, including mics, interfaces, camera systems, switchers, monitors, recorders, lights, and livestream tools
• Troubleshoot real-time issues during recordings (audio glitches, sync problems, camera swaps, etc.)
• Provide real-time support during recordings, helping with quick facts, follow-ups, or context mid-conversation
• Log timestamps, notes, and clip moments live or immediately post-recording
• Help maintain and upgrade the studio environment — equipment, layout, integrations, vibes
• 3+ years of studio or livestream production experience (podcast, YouTube, radio, or similar)
• Expert-level understanding of audio and video hardware: XLR mics, multichannel audio interfaces, Blackmagic ATEM switchers, DSLRs/mirrorless cams, lighting rigs, etc.
• Strong proficiency in audio mixing, video switcher ops, live monitoring, and digital backups
• Comfort in a high-performance environment with notable public figures and complex studio dynamics
• Based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX — this is an in-studio position, not remote
Be a core part of a small, elite team building the next generation of thoughtful media
• Competitive salary and growth opportunities
If you’re the type of person who can walk into a studio and know exactly what cable is loose, which light angle isn’t working, and when to roll a clip without being asked, we want to meet you.
