Producer in City of London

Lower Street is looking for a top-tier producer to join our incredible team. Lower Street is a podcasting company that works with agencies, consultants, and enterprise companies to make amazing shows that matter and make an impact.

We’re focused on two things: making the best podcasts we possibly can and continually learning and improving on what we do - both individually and as a team. From concept to distribution, we help clients to develop their ideas into fully fledged podcasts.

We’re looking for a producer to join our Production Team, working closely with the CEO, Executive Producers, and the Head of Post Production. In this role, you’ll research, plan, script, and edit interview-based podcasts (no editing of audio, just words).

As a producer, you will help to develop the show concept and format, coordinate with clients to deliver audio, communicate feedback with them and the team, and manage the project internally. We foster a collaborative culture and work together to ensure everything we produce is the absolute best it can be.

Responsibilities:

• Researching subjects (often technical) and prepping interview plans for our hosts to produce weekly or bi-weekly episodes.
• Coordinating recordings, audio files, session files, scripts, and documents.
• Editing tape, bringing episodes together (note: no audio editing involved in this role).
• Writing interview prep sheets, narration scripts, and coordinating with hosts to record them.
• Writing show notes, blog posts, and sometimes social content.
• Working with the sound designer on the creative direction of an episode and the final edit.
• Coordinating with the client and managing other contributors from the team to ensure projects are delivered.
• Sourcing audio clips from external sources.
• Occasionally booking and scheduling guests.

Who exactly are we looking for?

In short, someone that is:

• Creative: You are able to foster and maintain the creative vision of the podcasts at Lower Street.
• Communicative: You have excellent written and verbal communication and excel in collaboration with teammates and our hosts.
• Authentic: You put the people around you at ease and bring your own unique voice to research, writing, and scripting.
• Adaptable: You thrive when you need to find solutions, make adjustments, and receive feedback. You work efficiently to get the job done by deadlines.
• Passionate: You love storytelling and connecting business communities through content marketing.

Why you?

For this role, you ideally have:

• Extensive experience writing B2B content.
• The ability to listen to raw tape and pick out the most engaging, important, informative pieces to form a story that educates, inspires, and entertains the audience.
• A talent for researching and understanding often complex topics and extracting their essential elements to tell a compelling story.
• Script writing experience.
• The ability to work to deadlines so that shows never miss schedule.
• A critical eye and a close attention to detail.

Why Us?

• Work from anywhere. Your house in the country, a coffee shop in the city, a yurt in the forest -- we don’t mind. As long as you have strong enough wifi.
• Truly great work culture. We’re a young and small, but established company -- you can make a real impact, but we’re not in the business of micromanagement.
• Flexible Hours. Outside of ideally having some working overlap with UK working hours, we have a globally distributed, asynchronous team.
• Generous PTO, sick leave, and public holiday policy. Just throw us some notice and share where you go on holiday!
• Equipment Budget. Headphones, software, staplers -- whatever you need to be set up for success.
• Professional Development Allowance. Courses, conference tickets, books -- we’re invested in you.
• Planned team retreats in really fun spots. Once a year, we get together in person to collaborate and celebrate.
