About JAR Audio

WHO WE ARE: 


We produce original podcasts for brands to elevate dialogue and drive results. Some of our recent clients include Expedia, Lululemon, Royal Bank Canada, American Express, and more. 

We take an audience-first approach. We believe that podcasts are a perfect medium for a brand to engage with a new or current audience. We collaborate with our clients to uncover who their podcast audience is, what they care about, and how a podcast can deliver value. We root our podcasts in this strategy in order to deliver value.

  • You will be responsible for “traffic” related to several ongoing podcast projects.
  • Be the main point of contact for internal teams and clients. 
  • Own the project plan with schedule, communications, risk, and deliverables.  
  • Evaluate, manage and mitigate project risks and opportunities. 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project roadmap 
  • Leading client and team weekly meetings, kick-off meetings, and retrospectives. 
  • Project management software updates: setup of tools, tasks, management of files, and coordinating final deliverables. 
  • Managing production budget, project financials, resources allocation, and priorities. 
  • Review and provide feedback on work progress ensuring high-quality standards and project goals are met. 


WHAT YOU NEED:


  • Agency experience 
  • Experience in the audio, film, or creative industries. 
  • Superb communication skills: verbal and written form.

  • Basic spreadsheets skills

  • A detail-oriented approach.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment 
  • Passion about podcasts (but you do not need a podcast background). 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; organized and detail-oriented. You love spreadsheets and checking off items in a to-do list.
