About the role
Copperfield Audio Collective is a fictional podcast studio. This sample listing illustrates an executive producer role for a daily morning briefing: the person ultimately responsible for what goes into the episode, how it sounds and whether it lands in listeners' feeds on time.
A daily show leaves little room for drift. The executive producer sets the tone, protects the team's time and keeps the editorial standards high even when the clock is tight.
What you will do
- Set the editorial plan for each episode in a morning meeting and decide the running order.
- Lead and coach a small team of producers, writers and audio engineers.
- Review scripts and audio for accuracy, clarity and tone before release.
- Manage the daily schedule from recording through to publishing and distribution.
- Handle corrections and listener feedback promptly and transparently.
- Work with the studio's leadership on budgets, staffing and long-term plans for the show.
What we are looking for
- Substantial experience producing audio news or narrative shows, including at least one daily or weekly programme.
- Strong editorial judgement and the ability to lead under tight deadlines.
- A good ear for sound design and mixing standards, even if you delegate the technical detail.
- A calm, supportive approach to managing a small team.
- Experience with publishing tools and distribution platforms.
How the team works
The collective runs a hybrid model: three days a week in the studio, where recording and mixing happen, and two days wherever suits the team. Morning production begins early, so the daily rota is shared among senior staff.
Pro studio access is part of the offer in this sample listing, and the team holds a short retrospective each week on what worked and what to fix.
Pay and conditions
The salary range in this listing, $125,000 to $155,000, is an illustrative figure written for this launch edition. It is not drawn from any real employer. A performance bonus is mentioned in the original brief; a real listing would explain exactly how it works and what it depends on.
Candidates are encouraged to ask about hours, cover for illness, studio safety and rights in the shows they produce. Adjustments for accessibility are welcome to discuss.
