Purpose of the Role

We’re looking for a dynamic and driven producer of long‑form visual content who can create shows that sparkle with a mix of facts, fun and visual style. The successful candidate will build relationships with audiences and keep them coming back for more. You will be excited by the creative opportunities afforded by the evolving world of long‑form audio‑visual content.

This is an opportunity to join the award‑winning Factual team at BBC Studios Audio. We produce podcasts and visualised content for the BBC (iPlayer, Sounds, BBC YouTube, Radio 4 and Radio 5), as well as a growing slate of programmes for commercial audio platforms. We also make and monetise our own direct‑to‑market content. Our shows include You’re Dead to Me, Evil Genius, Evil Animals, A History of the USA in 100 Objects, Good Bad Billionaire, Desert Island Discs, In Our Time, Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett, Great Lives and Life Changing.

You’ll be tasked with developing and producing new visualised podcasts for the BBC and commercial platforms and visualising existing audio content. This role involves working closely with the whole team at BBC Studios. You’ll regularly collaborate with producers and execs in the wider Audio Unit (which includes Drama, Comedy and Ents). You will also have the opportunity to work closely with TV colleagues in the wider BBC Studios Factual community.

Why Join the Team

This is an opportunity to make a name for yourself as a creative force behind the next generation of hit podcasts and long‑form visual content. In this role you’ll work on shows from our existing slate as well as respond to internal and external commissioning briefs in the UK and abroad. You’ll also explore possibilities for co‑funding podcast production with hosting talent and other production houses. You’ll be able to build on your existing connections in the visual content industry, by developing and maintaining effective relationships with digital talent, contributors and creative teams.

You’ll have the opportunity to produce high‑quality content through delivering long‑form visual shows and podcast formats to various audiences, requiring excellent knowledge of the end‑to‑end visualised production process. You’ll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge of digital audience behaviours to shape content for platforms such as YouTube and emerging video channels. You will feed into the development of short‑form content related to your shows.

• Understand and contribute to the creation of short‑form content out of your long‑form content.
• Work closely with hosts and contributors, managing those relationships and building a durable production model, to capture their best possible performances in both audio and video.
• Plan and manage production workflows, schedules and budgets in collaboration with Production Management.

Your Skills and Experience
