About the role

Slate Magazine seeks a versatile associate producer to help create daily news podcasts What Next and What Next: TBD. The role blends pitching, booking, prepping, recording, writing, editing and mixing, with mentorship and room to grow. Remote work is possible for the right candidate, with base pay between $75,000 and $81,000. You’ll report to a supervising producer and collaborate across teams to craft episodes, refine scripts, and secure guests.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
