We are looking for a Digital Producer to help shape and grow an existing visualised talent led weekly politics and current affairs podcast. This show has been running for multiple years, so you would not be building an audience from scratch, but still has so much room to grow

This role sits at the intersection of editorial, post-production and audience growth. You will lead the video edit of the weekly show, create cutdowns and clips for social, create visual assets like thumbnails and show artwork, and help drive the podcast’s reach across platforms including YouTube and TikTok.

Most importantly, this role will suit someone who lives and breathes front pages. You will join a small, ambitious team making a weekly show with a distinctive point of view, strong on-air talent, and a growing digital audience. This is a role for someone with sharp editorial instincts, excellent editing skills, and a strong feel for what works on social and video platforms. It will suit someone who can edit quickly and thoughtfully, spot the moments that will travel, and think seriously about how a show builds an audience over time. You might currently be a digital producer, social producer, video journalist or editor looking to take on a broader role in shaping how an editorial product reaches and grows its audience.

Politics is a fast moving world, and so you must be comfortable occasionally working outside of regular working hours should the need arise.

The role

You will:

• Lead the video edit of a weekly current affairs podcast for next-day release
• Create social cutdowns, clips and other digital assets from each episode
• Develop and deliver a video-first growth strategy across YouTube, TikTok and other relevant platforms, with assistance from your team
• Work closely with the production team to identify the strongest editorial moments for digital distribution
• Write platform-appropriate copy, titles, descriptions and metadata
• Creation of thumbnails and other packaging that helps the show stand out
• Upload and publish content across relevant platforms
• Track performance and use audience insights to inform future edits, formats and publishing decisions
• Help shape repeatable digital formats that can build loyalty and grow audience over time

About You

You will have:

• Strong video and photo editing skills, ideally in Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop/Canva
• Experience creating social video and digital content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and other video-led platforms
• A strong understanding of what drives audience growth on video-first platforms
• Excellent editorial judgement, with the ability to identify compelling moments quickly
• A feel for current affairs, politics, news or topical conversation
• Confidence working at pace and to tight turnaround deadlines
• Good organisational skills and close attention to detail
• A collaborative approach and the confidence to work closely with producers, presenters and senior editorial staff
• The ability to balance creativity with consistency and delivery

Desirable

• Experience working on podcasts, current affairs content, news, politics or factual programming
• Familiarity with audio workflows and podcast publishing
• Knowledge of analytics tools and audience reporting across YouTube and social platforms
• An interest in building distinctive digital formats around longform editorial content

To apply, please send:

• Your earliest start date
• CV 
• Cover letter (400 words max)
• One example of a full length video you have edited
• One example of a social media asset you have created
