You’ll work closely with an executive producer and Fortune reporters to create sound-rich stories, advising on how to best incorporate tape, music and ambient sound.

You’ll book guests and record those guests both in studio and in the field, or oversee others who are doing so.

You’ll write scripts and must be able to edit material into a polished finished product.

Key qualifications include:

  • A solid technical grasp of audio equipment and software
  • Strong editorial judgment
  • A love of narrative journalism
  • A cheerful problem-solver who doesn’t hesitate to tackle hard work
