About the role

NPR’s RAD department has a temporary 6-month position for a RAD Information Specialist I (RAD I). This role involves research, metadata creation, and training delivery within a cross-functional team of product owners, taxonomists, researchers, archivists, trainers and developers. The position is union-represented under SAG-AFTRA with flexible work options including remote-permitted arrangements and occasional weekend hours to meet deadlines. Compensation features an hourly rate with NPR benefits.

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.
