  • Play a key role in the production and post-production of the podcast, writing scripts, recording interviews, editing sound and posting to platforms
  • Conduct remote recordings and in-studio 2-way interviews with reporters
  • Ensure highest qualitative and journalistic standards
  • Collaborate with our social team on audience development strategies connected to the podcast
  • Manage multiple projects in various stages of development and production

  • An understanding of, and interest in, The Wall Street Journal's core topic areas as well as strong editorial judgment and broad knowledge and interest in current events and news
  • Strong editorial skills, including experience in research, fact-checking and sculpting longform interviews both before and after recordings
