Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara—one of the first podcasts to successfully bring legal analysis into the mainstream—has become a trusted platform for conversations at the intersection of law, politics, and policy. At a time when legal and political developments are unfolding at breakneck speed, we’re seeking an Editorial Producer to guide the show’s editorial direction and production.

The Role

The Lead Editorial Producer will own the production process from concept to publication, ensuring each episode delivers the rigor, depth, and clarity our audience expects. Beyond podcast episodes, the producer will contribute editorial content for Substack and the CAFE website, amplifying the show’s impact across platforms.

Why This Role

This job is perfect for someone who lives and breathes the news, connects the dots, and is passionate about turning complexity into clarity. The Trump era has introduced unprecedented legal and political challenges, and Stay Tuned remains distinct as a calm, trusted, and thoughtful voice cutting through the noise. This is your chance to help explain the issues that matter most, with intellectual honesty and sharp analysis, for an audience hungry for clarity.

What We Stand For

Our coverage is guided by:

  • Intellectual rigor – careful research and incisive commentary
  • Nuance – recognition of complexity of the issues we’re covering
  • Calm – reason over rage-baiting
  • We aim to keep our audience informed without hysteria, while building a community dedicated to understanding and defending the rule of law.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Lead editorial production of Stay Tuned with Preet episodes from concept to publication
  • Assist in the editorial production of a new national security and foreign policy focused podcast
  • Collaborate with host(s) and the editorial team to identify timely topics and compelling guests
  • Book guests and as needed, guest hosts
  • Draft in-depth research memos, scripts, and editorial copy
  • Oversee tapings, recording logistics, and post-production
  • Write companion pieces for Substack and CAFE digital platforms
  • Contribute creative ideas for audience growth, marketing, and promotion
  • Support other CAFE/Vox Media podcasts as needed

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • Demonstrated passion for legal, political, and policy news; Legal or policy background strongly preferred
  • Exceptional news judgment and ability to translate complex issues for a broad audience
  • 2+ years of experience in journalism or media production, preferably at a major news organization
  • Strong writing, editing, and research skills
  • Professional maturity, sound judgment, and critical thinking
  • Ability to thrive under deadline pressure and manage multiple projects
  • Familiarity with new media platforms and AI tools is a plus

If you think you have what it takes, but don't meet every single point in our job posting, please apply with a cover letter to let us know how you believe you can bring your unique skills to the Vox Media team or get in touch! We would love to have a chat and see if you could be a great addition to our team. We’ve hired chefs who became editors, DJs who became UX designers, and sommeliers who became writers.
