ABOUT THIS ROLE
This is a senior, 18-month fixed-term production role within the Non-Fiction team at Audible. You will lead the end-to-end production of a defined slate of premium, format-led non-fiction audio titles — pushing creative and editorial boundaries to set new standards for the genre. We're looking for someone with the creative vision and editorial authority to develop innovative production approaches, manage high-profile talent relationships with credibility, and deliver complex, multi-format productions autonomously. This role requires experience and seniority beyond that of a standard producer.
ABOUT YOU
