<ul></ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>Great! Read on!</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>Lower Street is looking for a top-tier producer to join our incredible team.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>Who are we?</p>

<p>Lower Street is a podcasting company that works with agencies, consultants, and enterprise companies to make amazing shows. Shows that matter, that make an impact.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p><em>We're focused on 2 things:</em></p>

<ol>

<li>Making the best podcasts we possibly can, and</li>

<li>Continually learning and improving on what we do - both individually and as a team.</li>

</ol>

<p><br></p>

<p>From concept to distribution, we help clients to develop their ideas into fully fledged podcasts. And it's really fun.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>What’s the gig?&nbsp;</p>

<p>We’re looking for a producer to join our Production Team, and will work closely with folks like <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-amos-01b82a89/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elizabeth</a> (Production Manager),&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-datta-paulin-56a91914/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sam</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinmacindoesproule/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Erin</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marion-gruner/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marion</a> (Executive Producers), and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-bennett-fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alex</a> (Head of Sound Design).</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>In this role, you’ll research, plan, script, and edit interview-based podcasts (no editing of audio, just words).</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>As a producer, you'll be helping to develop the show concept and format, coordinating with the clients to deliver audio and communicating feedback with them and the team, and managing the project internally.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>But don't worry, you're not alone. We foster a collaborative culture and work together to make sure everything we produce is the absolute best it can be.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>Things you'll do:</p>

<ul>

<li>Researching subjects (often technical) and prepping interview plans for our hosts to produce weekly or bi-weekly episodes.</li>

<li>Coordinating recordings, audio files, session files, scripts and documents.</li>

<li>Editing tape, bringing episodes together (again, no audio editing involved in the role).</li>

<li>Writing interview prep sheets, narration scripts and coordinating with hosts to record them.</li>

<li>Writing show notes, blog posts, and sometimes social content.</li>

<li>Working with the sound designer on the creative direction of an episode and the final edit.</li>

<li>Coordinating with the client and managing other contributors from the Lower Street team to ensure projects are delivered.</li>

<li>Sourcing audio clips from external sources.</li>

<li>Occasionally booking and scheduling guests.</li>

</ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>Who exactly are we looking for?</p>

<p>In short, does this sound like you? Someone that is:</p>

<ul>

<li>Creative.&nbsp;You are able to foster and maintain the creative vision of the podcasts at LowerStreet.</li>

<li>Communicative.&nbsp;You have excellent written and verbal communication and excel in collaboration with teammates and our hosts.</li>

<li>Authentic.&nbsp;You put the people around you at ease and bring your own unique voice to research, writing, and scripting.</li>

<li>Adaptable.&nbsp;You thrive when you need to find solutions, make adjustments, and receive feedback. You work efficiently to get the job done by deadlines.</li>

<li>Passionate.&nbsp;You love storytelling and connecting business communities through content marketing.</li>

</ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>Why you?</p>

<p>For this role, you ideally have:</p>

<ul>

<li>Extensive experience writing B2B content.</li>

<li>The ability to listen to raw tape and pick out the most engaging, important, informative pieces to form a story that educates, inspires, and entertains the audience.</li>

<li>A talent for researching and understanding often complex topics and extracting their essential elements to tell a compelling story.</li>

<li>Script writing experience.</li>

<li>The ability to work to deadlines so that shows never miss schedule.</li>

<li>A critical eye and a close attention to detail.</li>

</ul>

<p><br></p>

<p>Why Us?</p>

<ul>

<li>Work from anywhere.&nbsp;

<ul>

<li>Your house in the country, a coffee shop in the city, a yurt in the forest -- we don’t mind. As long as you have strong enough wifi.</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Truly great work culture.

<ul>

<li>We’re a young and small, but established company -- you can make a real impact, but we’re not in the business of micromanagement.</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Flexible Hours.

<ul>

<li>Outside of ideally having some working overlap with UK working hours, we have a globally distributed, asynchronous team.</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Generous PTO, sick leave, and public holiday policy.

<ul>

<li>Just throw us some notice and share where you go on holiday!</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Equipment Budget.

<ul>

<li>Headphones, software, staplers, fax machine (probably not that last one) -- whatever you need to be set up for success.</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Professional Development Allowance.

<ul>

<li>Courses, conference tickets, books -- we’re invested in you.</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li>Planned team retreats in really fun spots.

<ul>

<li>Once a year, we get together in person to collaborate and celebrate.</li>

</ul>

</li>

</ul>
