This is a 100% remote opportunity based in Canada with JAR Audio. We are seeking an experienced Audio Editor to contribute to our creative branded podcast projects. The Audio Editor will report to both our Technical Director and Chief Creative Officer.

This is a full-time Audio Editor contract lasting a minimum of 6 months, with the possibility of transitioning to a full-time permanent position.

WHO WE ARE

We produce original podcasts for brands to elevate dialogue and drive results. Our recent clients include Amazon, Cirque du Soleil, Staffbase, T-Mobile, Genome BC, American Express, Royal Bank of Canada, and more.

We take an audience-first approach. We believe podcasts are a perfect medium for a brand to engage with a new or current audience. We collaborate with our clients to uncover who their podcast audience is, what they care about, and how a podcast can deliver value. We root our podcasts in this strategy to provide value.

We’re a fully remote team that works with audio experts worldwide. At JAR, we’re proud of the team we’ve built, a culture that supports each member to speak up and keeps us on our toes, challenging us to raise the bar higher each time. We are building a team of independent thinkers and leaders who are not afraid of trying new things.
