About the role

NPR is seeking a detail-oriented specialist to conduct research and metadata creation for NPR's storytelling initiatives. You will also deliver training and support preservation and access across NPR's digital and archival systems. The role emphasizes strong analytical skills and knowledge of metadata and audio files, with remote work options and a focus on information resources and access for audiences and staff.

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.
