Associate Podcast Producer, Special Features

Associate Producer – Special Features
We’re looking for an Associate Producer to join our Special Features team, where we create high‑production, long‑form narrative stories that explore fascinating business topics.

The Special Features Associate Producer supports the creation of long‑form narrative podcast episodes from concept to publication. The role involves working closely with the Special Features production team to research stories, coordinate and book expert guests, organize recorded content, and write episode materials for LumiQ’s flagship podcast content.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

Assisting with researching episodes :
We deeply research every narrative episode. You should be comfortable sifting through sources such as articles, archival video and audio, research papers, analyses, and financial documents to deepen our understanding of each episode’s story and learning objectives. You’ll also synthesize that information to create high‑level outlines for producers.

Guest booking and communications :
We record with 2‑5 guests per episode. We strive to find experts in finance, business, and relevant industries that can effectively speak to the learnings of each episode. You should feel comfortable reaching out to secure and vet guests. You will be their primary resource for booking outline calls and recording times, shipping microphones, etc.

Selecting tape :
You’ll assist the producers by organizing, selecting, and labeling compelling and relevant tape from interviews, as well as pulling the strongest takes from the host’s voicing sessions.

Writing :
In post‑production, our episodes require a variety of written content. You will support producers with crafting visual aids and assisting in scripting trailers.

Who You Are:

You are  curious :
You love going down rabbit holes to understand the full picture and look at the facts critically from every angle. You have a demonstrated ability to investigate complex topics (bonus if they’re financial or strategic business concepts).

You are  resourceful :
The deep dives required to research our stories often involve information that can’t be found with a simple internet search. You’re able to think outside the box when it comes to researching and collecting material key to the story.

You are  organized and detail oriented :
Our narrative episodes have a lot of depth and complexity, and we often have several in production at the same time. This means a lot of moving pieces at once, so you must be able to balance projects, set and meet clear deadlines, and clearly communicate project progress.

You have a  sense of story :
You think critically about story structure and the right way to make an educational story engaging.

A  podcast lover :
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to get deep in the weeds on narrative podcast production. Whether you’re just starting out or have worked in the industry before, you are excited to gain experience in every part of the production process, and to have the opportunity to grow into a role that suits your skills and interests.

Familiarity with  production tools  such as Descript and remote recording platforms is considered an asset.

Benefits and Perks
