The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for. Job DescriptionSince the Modern Love podcast launched in 2015, it has brought listeners into the private lives of people grappling with every kind of love story imaginable: bubbly romance, illicit affairs, familial heartache and triumph, unshakable platonic bonds and the hard fought road to self discovery. Inspired by the essays published weekly in The New York Times Modern Love column, the podcast brings these complex personal narratives to life through highly crafted interviews.
We're seeking an audio editor to lead the Modern Love team, set the show's editorial ambition and define the sound of the show. This person should be energized by the opportunity to tell love stories in all their mess and complexity, and to take a written essay and transform it into an artful audio story. This person will be focused on shaping and structuring episodes, working with the host and managing the production team. They should also be ready to help improve the show’s format with an eye towards broadening the types of interviews we do and the stories we tell, under the guidance of the audio department’s leadership. The right candidate is a curious, creative thinker, who is filled with ideas, excited to build and evolve the show, and excels in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment.

- Manage a team of producers, assessing their performance as well as guiding and supporting their growth
- Communicate notes and feedback, directly, quickly and compassionately
- Work with the host in the studio. Understand how to amplify her strengths and look for opportunities to push and develop the voice of the show together.
- In collaboration with the production and composer teams, maintain a music library and approach to scoring that elevates each episode.
- Anticipate challenges in episodes and solve them.
- Run recording sessions to ensure that the producers get the best ‘reads’ for the Modern Love essay readings, and discern how those reads are incorporated into the structure and flow of the episode.
- Oversee the booking of luminaries and experts who write and create art related to love and relationships

- Experience fostering an inclusive, diverse environment.
- Collaborative spirit is a must.
- Believes in The New York Times’ mission of independence and is dedicated to being a part of our innovation and growth.
