ABOUT NOVEL
Novel produces premium original podcasts, as well as award winning content for leading broadcast networks and platforms, including the BBC, iHeartRadio, Wondery, Audible and Spotify. Whilst investigative and narrative documentary storytelling are firmly in our DNA, Novel also develops and produces shows spanning comedy, politics, sport and scripted. With great development and IP at the center, our ideas are increasingly migrating to TV, Film and publishing. We are an ever expanding team of 50+ people based in London.
OVERVIEW
At Novel we’re looking for a Producer to lead the production of a new anthology series. Each episode will be a self-contained story related to a years-long investigation Novel has been undertaking. Though much of the reporting has been completed, this person will work with our host to conduct sensitive interviews and craft compelling narratives from the material collected. We need someone with a proven track record of working on narrative series and formatted shows, with a strong interest in investigative journalism, especially in the context of activity on the dark web.
The ideal candidates will have a great ear for audio storytelling and four years experience as a producer.
A highly creative approach to audio production is a must. Experience editing on Reaper and Descript is a significant plus.
If you fit the bill and are interested in a role in which you will be an integral part of Novel’s production team then please do get in touch. You’ll be joining a rapidly growing company packed with creative programme makers, sound designers and experienced executive producers who’ll be on hand to help you grow and develop as a producer.
