Job Description
POLITICO is seeking a skilled Senior Producer, Audio/Video to lead the relaunch and growth of a news show.
In this role, you’ll oversee recording sessions, make creative decisions to shape each episode, ensure high quality and accuracy, and edit the final audio and video products to completion. Our shows are multiplatform products, with audio (podcast), video, and social media elements. You’ll be a key player in making sure we deliver a timely and compelling product.
Given the nature of news shows, this role may require work outside of normal business hours to accommodate our production schedule.
The position is a full-time role based in London.
Who You Are
- An experienced producer with a track record of working on video and audio shows.
- A skilled editor of audio and video — able to produce tight and polished edits on a deadline.
- A keen reader of news and politics with a deep interest in the UK and Europe.
- Experienced in multiplatform distribution, finding production efficiencies between video and audio, and producing for different channels and audiences.
- A team player, great at giving and taking notes and working across different teams of people.
What You’ll Do
- Oversee the creation of an audio/video show — including technical aspects and helping coach talent and guide editorial direction.
- Collaborate with host and editorial colleagues to identify high-impact guests, topics, and relevant conversation themes.
- Edit an audio and video product — producing clean, final cuts of an audio show (podcast) and video, ready for publication.
- Partner with audience, editorial, social media teams on distribution and publishing.
- Monitor episode performance metrics and utilize data to optimize future episodes.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Our 1,100+ publishing professionals across the world's key democratic capitals—Washington, Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, Sacramento, and New York—form the world's premier politics and policy newsroom. We tell the story of how power really works by explaining who wields it and how they plan to exercise it, connecting dots others miss and delivering scoops from sources others don't even know exist.
Innovation has always been a core tenet of our story. At launch, we bet that depth would trump scale, that talent would trump traffic, and that politics would become central to modern life. In 2011, we made another bet and launched POLITICO Pro to help decision-makers understand the business of government, transforming both how they shape government action and the business of journalism itself.
These bets have made POLITICO the most successful digital news startup of its generation and the indispensable resource for leaders who shape the future. Today, we are a rarity in media: a growing, profitable, and sustainable news organization.
POLITICO is a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE, a family-owned transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York.
