Your Role: Senior Podcast Producer
We’re looking for a strategic, creative Senior Podcast Producer with a proven video-production background to help develop and deliver two standout news and factual Global Original podcast shows.
As a Senior Podcast Producer at Global, you’ll shape the editorial vision, manage the production process and grow two of our biggest news and factual podcast shows. You’ll bring sharp editorial instincts and a video-first approach, creating compelling content across YouTube, audio and social platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Editorial leadership and production: Take editorial leadership alongside an Executive Producer; lead end-to-end production and deliver high-quality audio and video episodes to deadline. Develop concepts and formats with visual storytelling, talent direction, with audience viewing behaviours and platform needs in mind from the outset.
- Video-first production and social content: Produce engaging full-length video episodes, interviews, and YouTube formats. Apply strong visual storytelling through development, scripting, recording, editing and publishing; optimise assets for each platform.
- Talent management and relationships: Identify, manage and support on-air talent and stakeholders; build trusted relationships with agents, partners, suppliers and internal teams. Help talent deliver confident, authentic on-camera content.
- Planning, performance and innovation: Develop original ideas aligned to Global’s podcast strategy; own planning and performance reviews; use audience insight and awareness of podcast, TV, YouTube and digital-video trends to improve content.
What You’ll Love About This Role
- Think Big: Producing habit-forming, video-first podcasts with some of the UK’s highest-profile presenters.
- Own It: Taking creative ownership of ambitious audio and visual formats, from early development through to delivery.
- Keep it Simple: Developing clear, compelling ideas that work across podcast, video and social platforms.
- Better Together: Collaborating with talent, producers, editors and teams across Global to create standout content.
What Success Looks Like
In your first few months, you’ll have:
- Produced high-quality podcast episodes and accompanying video output on a regular basis.
- Created engaging long-form video, YouTube and short-form social content that supports audience growth.
- Worked effectively with major talent across audio and on-camera production.
- Built strong internal and external relationships and used performance insight to evolve editorial, video and social strategy.
What You’ll Need
- Experience: Typically five or more years producing podcasts, television, YouTube content, digital video or live radio.
- Video-first storytelling: A strong track record producing video-first podcasts, television content, YouTube formats or equivalent editorial video, with the ability to see concepts through a visual, not audio-only, lens.
- Production craft: High creativity across audio and video, including editing; strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition.
- Technical confidence: Experience operating or working closely with video-production hardware and software. Experience of operating cameras, vision mixers, lighting, playout or graphics systems, recording and streaming tools would be advantageous.
- Platform expertise: Strong knowledge of YouTube, social platforms and audience behaviours, including how to optimise full-length and short-form video for engagement.
- Talent and delivery: Experience directing on-camera talent, strong relationship-management skills and the ability to work to focused briefs and demanding deadlines.
- Industry knowledge: Broad understanding of the podcast, TV, YouTube and digital-video landscape, commercial opportunities and audience trends in the UK and other key markets.
- Mindset: Proactive, collaborative and flexible across genres and styles, with an up-to-date understanding of diversity and inclusion and a genuine interest in podcasts.
