Executive Producer - Breakfast - Times Radio

Times Radio has shaken up the broadcasting firmament since launching in June 2020, and our recent growth in listeners as measured by Rajar demonstrates the impact we have made. As a live news radio station, we have built up a strong reputation for providing well-informed, thoughtful and intelligent news and discussion, covering the key stories of the day. We have combined the famous journalistic expertise of The Times and The Sunday Times with the radio experience of News Broadcasting to create a station that already has over 550,000 weekly listeners.

Your role: This role is for a permanent Executive Producer on Times Radio, in the first instance overseeing the award-winning Monday to Thursday Breakfast show. You will lead every aspect of the show and its team, giving the programme creative and journalistic direction, ensuring it sets the agenda and makes news, as well as studio producing it on a regular basis.

Day to day you will:

  • Lead the team and work with both presenters to ensure that each day’s programme is must-listen, with a strong line-up of guests and stories covered in the best way possible.
  • Oversee the ideas generation process and ensure there is a steady stream of big-name, news-making guests and imaginative and new topical features.
  • Responsible for improving and evolving the show so that it’s an informative, warm and entertaining listen for our audience.
  • Work to super-size the best ideas to give them as much visibility and external impact as possible, spreading the word about the show and growing its audience.
  • Champion video content at Times Radio and prioritise getting all our guests in vision so our best interviews can be shared as widely as possible on all revenue-generating digital platforms.
  • Output the programme from the control room on a regular basis.
  • Oversee planning for Times Radio Breakfast and work on special programmes and outside broadcasts in the UK and abroad.
  • Manage team members, giving feedback and developing their skills over time.
  • Act up as Editor when required across the station and take on additional editorial responsibilities across our seven-day-a-week operation.

What we’re looking for from you:

  • An experienced journalist with a deep understanding of UK and foreign news stories, in particular politics.
  • A strong understanding of what makes great, must-listen radio.
  • An instinct for how to use social and video channels to spread the word further about the show.
  • Impressive leadership ability that will inspire and motivate a small yet talented team.
  • A personable approach and collaborative mindset (Times Radio is at its best when teams work together).
  • Experience of working with and getting the best from presenters.
  • Trusted understanding of relevant compliance and legal issues.
  • The flexibility to work anywhere on the station if required in the future.

What's in it for you?

This is a great chance for the right person to run the most listened-to programme on a talked-about radio station, whose listeners include some of the most influential people in British life. You’ll work with talented, motivated people to shape the national conversation each morning. Thanks to the freshness and agility of Times Radio, you’ll have the ability to shape and influence the output directly on a daily basis.
