Part-Time Producer, Create or Destroy

Part-Time Producer, Create or Destroy

Vox Media and The Wisdomous Company are seeking a highly organized, editorially sharp, and business-fluent Producer for Create or Destroy: Reimagining Marketing, a weekly video podcast hosted by Seth Matlins.

The show is built on the premise that marketing is not a siloed department within an organization, but an enterprise-wide mindset and core growth engine. Because every company decision—from product design, supply chain, and HR to capital allocation, data architecture, and board composition—ultimately touches the customer, every decision either creates value or threatens to destroy it. Each week, the show features unvarnished, actionable, and irreverent conversations with influential thinkers and leaders across the business and cultural landscape.

This role is central to the weekly video and audio production pipeline, managing the tactical execution, editorial rigor, and quality control needed to take episodes from initial research through recording, post-production, and multi-platform publication. The ideal candidate pairs foundational technical chops in video podcast production with a solid grasp of modern marketing, business strategy, and brand dynamics.

This is a temporary, part-time position for a 6-month assignment.

Key Responsibilities

• Editorial Research & Briefing: Conduct thorough research on featured enterprise leaders, market developments, and corporate case studies. When needed, prepare detailed host prep packets, narrative outlines, and interview questions centered on how internal and external forces shape value creation and destruction.
• Production Lead on Create or Destroy: Direct weekly in-studio and remote recording sessions, manage technical setups (audio/video capture, lighting, framing), liaise closely with host Seth Matlins, and guide guest talent through seamless tapings.
• VIP & C-Suite Logistics: Own the end-to-end production calendar, coordinating prep calls and recording logistics with high-profile guests, executive assistants, and corporate communications teams.
• Post-Production & Assembly: Execute the foundational assembly edit (rough cuts, paper edits, and stringouts); craft compelling, high-converting episode titles and SEO-informed descriptions tailored to business decision-makers.
• Ad Integration & Monetization: Coordinate with ad operations and sales teams to facilitate the timely recording, placement, and delivery of sponsored segments and host-read endorsements.
• Quality Control & Distribution: Perform rigorous quality control checks on master audio and multi-camera video exports; manage publishing workflows across YouTube, Megaphone, and supporting feeds.
• Audience Growth & Social Clipping: Identify high-impact, provocative soundbites from each episode; oversee the cutting, captioning, and quality control of short-form video clips optimized for B2B engagement across LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in video podcast production, digital video journalism, or multimedia content creation, preferably within a fast-paced media network or business publication.
• Demonstrated business & marketing literacy: A working understanding of corporate strategy, brand marketing, consumer behavior, and executive decision-making, along with genuine curiosity about how companies drive sustainable growth.
• Hands-on production proficiency: Practical experience with video and audio editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, or Descript) and remote recording tools (e.g., Riverside.fm).
• Multi-platform packaging expertise: A strong grasp of YouTube audience retention mechanics, packaging (titles and thumbnails), and how to optimize professional video content for platforms like LinkedIn.
• Executive-level communication: Comfort directly producing, briefing, and interacting with high-profile guests such as CEOs, CMOs, founders, and cultural leaders.
• Meticulous project management: Proven ability to manage multi-track deliverables, asset files, and tight weekly turnaround deadlines without sacrificing editorial polish.
