Vox Media and The Wisdomous Company are seeking a highly organized, editorially sharp, and business-fluent Producer for Create or Destroy: Reimagining Marketing, a weekly video podcast hosted by Seth Matlins.
The show explores the premise that marketing is not a siloed department within an organization, but an enterprise-wide mindset and core growth engine. Each week, the show features unvarnished, actionable, and irreverent conversations with influential thinkers and leaders across the business and cultural landscape.
This role is central to the weekly video and audio production pipeline, managing the tactical execution, editorial rigor, and quality control needed to take episodes from initial research through recording, post-production, and multi-platform publication.
Key Responsibilities

Prepare detailed host prep packets, narrative outlines, and interview questions centered on how internal and external forces shape value creation and destruction.
- Production Lead on Create or Destroy: Direct weekly in-studio and remote recording sessions, manage technical setups, liaise closely with host Seth Matlins, and guide guest talent through seamless tapings.
- VIP & C-Suite Logistics: Own the end-to-end production calendar, coordinating prep calls and recording logistics with high-profile guests, executive assistants, and corporate communications teams.
- Post-Production & Assembly: Execute the foundational assembly edit, craft compelling episode titles and SEO-informed descriptions tailored to business decision-makers.
- Ad Integration & Monetization: Coordinate with ad operations and sales teams to facilitate the timely recording, placement, and delivery of sponsored segments and host-read endorsements.
- Quality Control & Distribution: Perform rigorous quality control checks on master audio and multi-camera video exports, manage publishing workflows across YouTube, Megaphone, and supporting feeds.
- Audience Growth & Social Clipping: Identify high-impact soundbites from each episode, oversee the cutting, captioning, and quality control of short-form video clips optimized for B2B engagement across LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in video podcast production, digital video journalism, or multimedia content creation, preferably within a fast-paced media network or business publication.
- Demonstrated business & marketing literacy: A working understanding of corporate strategy, brand marketing, consumer behavior, and executive decision-making.
- Hands-on production proficiency: Practical experience with video and audio editing software and remote recording tools.
- Multi-platform packaging expertise: A strong grasp of YouTube audience retention mechanics, packaging, and optimizing professional video content for platforms like LinkedIn.
- Executive-level communication: Comfort directly producing, briefing, and interacting with high-profile guests such as CEOs, CMOs, founders, and cultural leaders.
