Developing promising NYT journalists into podcast talent and turning their stories into fully-baked podcast ideas, for an ongoing show or a limited-run series
Make staffing recommendations to build a diverse and talented team of producers and editors
Shaping direction for shows, including current ones (aside from The Daily), in collaboration with team leadership

Skills:

At least 7 years experience in audio production
Experience building and managing a team or organization
