About the Role
You'll be the connective tissue between our shows and the talent that brings them to life. As our Talent + Development Producer, you'll own the end-to-end talent pipeline — identifying, pitching, booking, and managing guests — while developing your eye for what makes a show work. This is a hands‑on, learn-by-doing role with real ownership from day one.
