Producer II - Marketplace - Temporary

Position Summary:

Marketplace is the most widely heard business show in the United States, reaching more than 12 million people weekly across radio and digital platforms. As we continue our evolution from a traditional radio organization to a truly multiplatform media company, we are investing in new formats, new audiences, and new voices.

Marketplace has partnered with BBC World Service to produce Must Be the Money, an informative video and audio series offering young people insights on economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, and wealth building. This new series hosted by journalist Lee Hawkins, explores the real-world paths to economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, and wealth building for young audiences. Each episode features candid conversations with leaders who have navigated the financial system from the inside out. Designed for ambitious viewers who are starting their careers, building businesses, or growing their financial knowledge. The series addresses the information gaps they say are rarely covered; from debt management and credit growth to scaling a business, navigating taxes and insurance, investing, real estate, and long-term planning and everything in-between. Must be the Money offers practical guidance, unfiltered wisdom, and inspiration from those who’ve done it.

We are seeking a forward-thinking Digital Producer to play a central role in the launch and rollout of Must Be The Money, a new podcast and live-event series designed to bring candid, culturally resonant conversations about money, opportunity, and power to young audiences, particularly those historically underserved by public media.

This role will function as a content strategist, producer, and launch lead, helping shape how Must Be The Money shows up across audio, video, social platforms. The ideal candidate is creative, audience-obsessed, comfortable with experimentation, and energized by building something new from the ground up.

This is a temporary role, reporting to the News Director, Marketplace, and will last for one month.
