About the Role
Sitrep is a leading defence and security podcast with a rich history in explaining defence news and a rare opportunity has opened for the right person to be our Podcast Editor and develop Sitrep in truly interesting times in world security.
Sitrep is part of BFBS, the broadcasting service for the British military. The news output is independent and trusted by the serving and civilian audience alike.
In depth military knowledge isn’t essential – the team are experts and you can tap into the collective wisdom of the Forces News newsroom. You just need enthusiasm for uncovering the detail that our highly engaged audience loves, and excellent editorial judgement.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Produce and edit a weekly in-vision podcast for multiple platforms.
- Lead a small team of staff and freelancers to create content which surprises the regular audience and attracts new listeners.
- Build up a bank of engaging and authoritative guests - you will identify stories or themes which make for a detailed in-depth discussion the audience cannot find anywhere else.
- Be adept at identifying the best moments to promote each episode on social media and understand the importance of engaging with the audience.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Use of AI
We strongly encourage you to prepare your application in your own words and, wherever reasonably possible, without using generative AI to create or substantially rewrite this. We're interested in reading about your own experience, knowledge and skills, and your ability to communicate clearly. However, if you need to use AI or other assistive technology as a reasonable adjustment to enable you to participate in our recruitment process, you are welcome to do so and this will not disadvantage your application.
This job advert may close early if sufficient applications have been received, so submit your application today.
Eligibility
You must be able to demonstrate current eligibility to work in the UK. We're unable to provide employer visa sponsorship.
