Dow Jones is hiring: Senior Audio Producer, Personal Finance Podcast in New York

Job Description
Senior Audio & Video Producer, Personal Finance Podcast – The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal is seeking a senior audio and video producer to help launch and drive a new personal finance video podcast.

As a senior producer, you’ll also lead and contribute to projects and shows beyond personal finance. You’ll listen across our podcasts and suggest improvements, coach and train less experienced producers, and help identify and shape special projects across the newsroom.

Your work on personal finance will be a key focus early on. You’ll work with top reporters and outside experts to explain everything from saving and investing to taxes and major financial decisions. We’re looking for someone who can pitch and produce best-in-class audio and help define what a video podcast can be.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in video journalism, podcast production, digital storytelling and development. You bring excellent editorial judgment, are comfortable experimenting with new formats and platforms, and actively build relationships across the newsroom to stay close to our coverage. You’ll immerse yourself in the news, trends and developments around money and personal finance so this show becomes a must-listen and must-watch.

This is an opportunity to join a growing, collaborative team that produces impactful, factual and news-driven podcasts across the WSJ newsroom. We have a dedicated audience, and we’re looking to take our shows—and our reach—to the next level.

This position is based in our New York City office and reports to the Supervising Producer, Audio.

To apply, please submit your résumé, a cover letter outlining how your skills and experience meet or exceed the key requirements, and links to five examples of your work that showcase your expertise in video podcast production. Candidates who do not submit cover letters will not be considered.

What You’ll Do

Work closely with the personal finance show’s host, Supervising Producer and coverage chiefs across the WSJ newsroom to develop original story ideas, special series and interactive/immersive formats that deepen audience engagement and support external events.

Play a key role in production and post-production: pitch stories, book and pre‑interview guests, write scripts, record interviews, edit sound and video, and publish to platforms.

Conduct remote recordings, in‑studio interviews and field work.

Help promote the show by creating promos, sizzle reels and social media assets, including video.

Interview WSJ reporters and external sources, and coach contributors who are newer to audio and video.

Manage multiple projects in different stages of development and production.

Ensure all content is accurate, fact‑checked, legally sound and meets WSJ editorial and production standards.

Organize and lead training sessions for less experienced producers.

Support other WSJ podcast productions as needed.

Occasionally fill in as a host and/or contribute to the podcast on mic.

What You’ll Bring

At least 5 years of experience in audio and video storytelling for a daily podcast or radio show.

A professional background in video journalism, podcast production and digital storytelling.

Strong shooting and editing skills.

Deep understanding of, and interest in, the Journal’s core coverage areas.

Strong editorial judgment and broad knowledge of current events.

Experience in research, fact‑checking and shaping long‑form interviews both before and after recordings.

Professional experience writing headlines, captions and scripts under tight time constraints.

Experience developing and launching new products.

Professional‑level proficiency in Adobe Audition, Pro Tools or other DAWs.

Professional experience using Adobe Premiere (strong plus).
