Position:
This position plays a key role in supporting the success of Colorado Matters and Colorado Public Radio by producing timely, relevant content that serves audiences across the state. In addition to developing segments for the daily program, the content the Senior Producer creates may also be adapted for newscasts on CPR and KRCC, as well as for digital and social platforms. The role brings added depth to the team through the ability to line produce the full show, managing production workflows, communication, and logistics. Based in Southern Colorado, this position also expands opportunities to source and produce stories beyond the Denver metro area, helping ensure more comprehensive, statewide coverage. The new hire is expected to reside in Southern Colorado upon starting- this is not a remote position.

Proven ability to work collaboratively and communicate with clarity across teams and projects. Interest in social media and audience engagement, with the ability to support audience growth through digital platforms.Education Equivalency:
