Podcast & Video Producer/Scriptwriter

This role sits at the heart of PIM Media. You’ll shepherd the storytelling, tone, and creative execution of three shows: Personal Injury Mastermind, our chart-leading flagship; LawHer, an award-winning series elevating women in law; and a new industry podcast ready to be built from the ground up. These programs are the central engine of Rankings’ media and marketing ecosystem, and every episode needs to feel intentional, informed, and worth a listener’s time.

The work blends thoughtful research, narrative development, voiceover scripting, and clear creative direction. You’ll help shape the audio and (have a hand in) the video versions of each episode and ensure every detail. From interview structure to final cut to show notes, your guidance reflects a consistent, high-performing standard. Collaboration with our coordinators, editors, and marketing team is essential, as is a willingness to look at the numbers and adjust the work week after week.

This is a role for someone who loves the craft, understands the audience, and takes genuine pride in building shows that teach, move, and stay with people. Bonus points if you’re familiar with YouTube or have experience shaping stories for video.

This is a creative + operational hybrid role. You won’t edit audio, but you’ll be responsible for everything else that makes a show great. This position is for an experienced, motivated producer who can lead a creative team to consistent excellence and elevate the voice of a rapidly growing media brand.
