We're building something big — and we're looking for a brilliant Senior Podcast Producer to help lead the charge.

UnHerd and The Spectator are launching a new slate of bold, agenda-setting podcasts that aim to shake up the UK media landscape. This is a rare opportunity to be in at the ground level of some of the most high-profile podcast launches in recent memory.

We're looking for someone who can do it all: from booking top-tier guests and shaping editorial tone, to overseeing recording, editing, and driving audience growth through smart marketing and promotion. You'll be the engine behind each show — ensuring every episode is sharp, compelling, and flawlessly delivered.

You'll work across both brands, helping to craft shows that are fresh, fearless, and impossible to ignore — with a mix of political insight, cultural edge, and unmissable commentary.

If you're editorially savvy, production-smart, marketing-minded — and hungry to create the next breakout hit — we want to hear from you.

Requirements

• Pitch timely, original episode ideas that respond to breaking news and cultural trends
• Research, identify, and book high-profile guests across politics, culture, and media
• Write persuasive pitches to secure both reactive and long-lead guests
• Maintain a live, detailed tracker of all guest outreach and booking activity
• Coordinate recording schedules with presenters and studio teams (in-person and remote)
• Prepare concise, insightful briefings for presenters on a wide range of topics
• Draft high-quality scripts, intros, and guest biographies
• Fact-check content and ensure editorial accuracy across all outputs
• Select and prepare visual assets and quotes to enhance podcast visibility
• Edit short-form clips for social media and refine podcast audio where needed
• Shape compelling release packages — headlines, thumbnails, show notes — to maximise reach
• Lead social media strategy and scheduling to drive growth and engagement across platforms
