Newstalk ZB’s iconic Saturday Morning show is on the hunt for a talented Lifestyle Producer to help shape one of the most loved programmes on New Zealand radio.

If you’re passionate about music, film, tech, TV, food, books, media—and love the chance to engage with some of the biggest names on the planet—this is your dream gig. Even better: you’ll be working alongside one of the best in the business, Jack Tame.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes news, pop culture, and current events. You’ll bring strong local and international awareness, excellent contacts across entertainment and publishing, and the ability to craft a dynamic, polished, and engaging show for a nationwide audience.

This role is 10 hours per week, including Saturday mornings. It’s a position that requires flexibility, quick thinking, and the ability to roll with rapidly changing situations when they arise.

What you’ll bring

• A background in journalism, with broadcasting experience preferred

• Strong editorial instincts and confidence to back your decisions

• A collaborative attitude and comfort taking direction when needed

• Sharp organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple moving pieces

Production experience is not essential—but a strong work ethic, curiosity, and a great attitude are.

What we offer

In return, you’ll join a supportive, high-performing newsroom that values creativity and initiative. You’ll receive regular feedback and have the opportunity to learn from some of the country’s top newsmakers and broadcasters.

This is a permanent part-time position (10 hours per week) with additional fill‑in opportunities available.

Applications close: Friday, 27th February at 5pm.

All applicants will be asked about their working rights in New Zealand (e.g., citizen, resident, visa, no visa).
