Bengaluru, India The Ken Full time

THE ROLE


The Ken is looking for a talented Audio Journalist. 


The Ken’s Podcast Team is behind some of the most innovative and successful podcasts covering India’s business, technology and startup sectors. These include Daybreak, our flagship daily news show; The First Two Years, a weekly careers podcast for 20-25 year olds; and Two by Two, a premium podcast that asks – and tries to answer – some of the most pressing questions from the world of business. 


And we have more original shows planned.


Our audio journalists are the souls of our podcasts. They are also reporters and storytellers. They are also the first and last true believers in their shows. They obsess over its every detail, every promise, and every feedback till they are satisfied.  


WHO YOU ARE


You are a journalist who has covered one or more business sectors (ideally, careers, education, tech or startups) for at least 2 years. This means you are familiar with working in a newsroom or journalistic setting. We believe this would have given you the journalistic foundation on which to build audio-based stories, or podcasts. 

This has helped you develop the very vital skill of telling true stories – stories that are based on facts, sources, research and reporting, while still retaining the essence of being stories. You are able to hold conversations on a range of topics with people, regardless of their age, experience or knowledge, because curiosity and interest constantly drive you.  


You know how to find and make sources, and how to get them on your show. Even then, you are still always on the lookout to meet new people to enrich your pool of potential sources and guests. 

You enjoy working with teams, drawing on the complementary skills of your colleagues to take simple ideas to tightly produced narratives.  


YOUR TEAM


You will be part of The Ken’s talented Podcasts team, which comprises podcast hosts, researchers, writers and audio engineers. Your most important relationship within this team will be with your producer. You will team up with them to own all aspects of a show, from ideation and scripting to scheduling, production and publishing. 

The Ken is fundamentally a teams-first organization, so your success will depend on your ability to collaborate and form deep and meaningful workplace relationships with your team. 


In addition to the Podcasts team, you will work closely with colleagues in Editorial, Marketing and the Business team to continually elevate the value of podcasts to subscribers and listeners alike.
