About MBN
Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN) is the premier Arabic-first media organization that connects the Middle East and the United States.

Our target audience is decision-makers, influencers, and residents of key capitals across the Middle East, as well as the next generation of globally engaged, digitally connected youth.
About the Role
The Senior Producer Podcasts (Audio & Video) is responsible for the development, production and oversight of MBN's entire audio/video podcast portfolio. These podcasts require the same sourcing discipline, the same editorial care, and the same respect for the audience's intelligence as anything that is published on Alhurra.com.
The Senior Producer Podcasts is responsible for creating contet in two languages - Arabic and English - and must understand that Arabic audio storytelling has a different relationship to pace, to silence, to the weight of a phrase than English audio does.

Show Development and Editorial Direction
  • Develops, launches, and editorially oversees MBN's podcast portfolio from concept through production through distribution

Production and Audio Standards
  • Manages the end-to-end production workflow for all MBN podcasts: guest booking, pre-interviews, scripting, recording, editing, sound design, mixing, mastering, and distribution
  • Sets and enforces MBN's audio quality standard - the specific standard of a long-form podcast built for a politically engaged Arabic-speaking and English-speaking audience
  • Shapes narrative arcs and episode structure
  • Integrates AI-assisted audio tools such as noise reduction, stem separation, automated leveling, transcription, translation workflow - into the production pipeline

Host and Contributor Management
  • Manages MBN's podcast hosts and recurring contributors
  • Prepares hosts thoroughly before each episode
  • Conducts pre-interviews with guests to understand their actual position before the recorded conversation
  • Works directly with Arabic-language and English-language hosts to ensure that each speaks in the register their audience expects

Performance and Audience
  • Tracks listenership, completion rates, share behavior, and audience feedback across all platforms and brings specific editorial recommendations from that data
  • Works with the Platform & Distribution Editor to ensure that each episode is optimized for its distribution platform - title, description, clip selection, and timing

Other Duties:
Perform additional job-related duties and take on new responsibilities as needed based on organizational requirements and circumstances.
Qualifications and Requirements:
Candidates are required to have:
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Journalism, audio/video production, or related field or equivalent professional experience.
  • Full professional bilingual fluency in Arabic and English - editorial fluency and working fluency.
  • 5+ years of experience in podcast production or long-form journalistic audio storytelling at a news organization or public broadcaster.
  • Demonstrated experience building and producing shows for Arabic-language audiences.
  • Strong narrative and editorial instincts
  • Experience managing audio teams, hosts, and guests across multiple productions simultaneously
  • Fluency in AI-assisted audio production tools and an understanding of their specific limitations in Arabic-language contexts.
  • Experience with podcast distribution platforms - Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer - and an understanding of the specific audience behavior on each in the MENA market

Preferred
  • Background in journalism or news production
  • Experience developing bilingual or multilingual audio products
  • Familiarity with MBN's coverage areas - U.S. foreign policy, the Gulf, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, extremism and security
