New Posted 30 November 2022 | New York, NY | The New York Times

The Serial team is home to some of audio’s best and most successful long-form journalists and narrative storytellers, producing the hit podcasts Serial, S-Town, Nice White Parents and more. After joining the New York Times in 2020, Serial has expanded its team to create more groundbreaking shows, more often. The success of Serial podcasts has always been rooted in its team, and the team’s commitment to high-quality, innovative and surprising storytelling. We’re looking for an experienced Development Editor to oversee soliciting, developing and editing new podcasts under the Serial banner. This person will form relationships with reporters, producers and editors inside the New York Times newsroom, at This American Life (our sister producing team), and with outside organizations and individuals. They’ll focus on seeking out new voices, identify under-covered stories, and create shows that fulfill Serial’s mission to produce stories that defy convention and genre.
