Producer Monocle Radio

Monocle Radio is growing. We have two exciting opportunities for London-based producers.

About Monocle

Monocle is an independent media brand that has built a global reputation for its coverage of international affairs, design, travel, fashion and much more besides. Launched in London in 2007, the business has blossomed to include our famed magazine, daily newsletters, a round-the-clock radio station, international events as well as thriving retail stores, e-commerce and cafés. With HQs, bureaux and shops in Zürich, Tokyo, Merano and Hong Kong we are a truly global team and proud of the fact that today Monocle is a vital source of inspiration, analysis and ideas for our discerning global audience.

About the role

Monocle Radio brings our listeners current affairs, insightful interviews and a Monocle take on global affairs. As we continue to grow, we are seeking two producers to work across the station’s award-winning news and global affairs output.

The role involves planning, booking and outputting daily weekday news and weekly magazine shows covering everything from business, culture and design to hospitality, media and urbanism. You will be expected to help the senior editorial team set the tone and direction of the full roster of Monocle Radio programmes.

The successful applicants will ideally have extensive broadcast experience in a busy newsroom with an international outlook. However, we will consider exceptional candidates from a non-audio background if they can prove their aptitude for the role.

The position requires a cool head under pressure, an abundance of great ideas, a list of contacts across global markets and the ability to handle breaking news and tight deadlines. You must be capable of demonstrating that you can rapidly identify the right angles and bring fresh perspectives to Monocle Radio’s coverage.

While additional languages are an advantage, you must be able to write and edit scripts, sells and promos in flawless English, particularly when working against the clock. Hours are varied and might require early starts, late evenings and weekend work. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic news operation and make your mark across the station’s award-winning programming.

We value collaboration and interaction with our colleagues and our clients. We work on unique, global projects alongside our enormously talented international team. This role is based in our Marylebone office and we offer the following benefits;

-Discounts at Monocle Café and shop

-Breakfast provided five days a week

-Health and life insurance benefits

-Dog friendly office

Our team is ambitious, talented, professional and committed to excellence in everything they do. If you are keen to join us, please send your CV and a cover letter to al@monocle.com

Please note that all applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
