The Opportunity and Who You'll Work With:

Your role as Associate Producer or Producer will be an integral part of the Radio Boston team, working both independently and collaboratively with other Radio Boston staff members and WBUR journalists. Working under the supervision of the Executive Producer, you will be responsible for generating original segment ideas, researching, guesting, scripting, fact checking, and pre and post production.
