New York Times Audio aims to pilot a vibrant new destination for speech listening. We aim to be a home for the best audio journalism and to provide anyone who opens the app with an indispensable answer to the question: what should I listen to now? We are hiring a small team of audio producers, with an interest in developing new digital listening formats, to be part of our team for the beta test of the New York Times Audio app. We will be drawing extensively on existing Times audio publishing -- for example, narrated Times articles, Opinion and The Daily -- as well as from Audm, Serial, This American Life, and other publishers. However in addition to this existing catalog, we want to explore the question of whether — and how — we might transform even more of the work of The Times into audio formats that fit neatly into the app experience. Successful candidates will demonstrate creativity and autonomy in finding and pitching the most compelling pieces for audio in the app — typically using Times journalism as the backbone — to the Editor, Audio Programming and other members of their team.
