Newstalk ZB is looking for a sharp, driven producer to lead our Afternoons Show with Matt Heath & Tyler Adams. You’ll set the show’s agenda and create compelling radio that keeps listeners engaged.

This role goes well beyond just booking interviews. You will:

• Turn the day’s biggest stories into must-listen radio, responding quickly as news breaks.

• Create talkback that challenges, informs and entertains.

• Produce compelling content that keeps listeners tuned in.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a strong understanding of current affairs in New Zealand and abroad.

• Can think quickly and respond decisively in the fast-moving environment of live radio.

• Brings fresh ideas, performs well under pressure and trusts their editorial judgement.

• Is collaborative, open to feedback and eager to grow.

In return, you’ll join a supportive, high-performing environment and work alongside some of the best broadcasters, news makers and producers in the country.

Production experience is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is a strong journalism background, a passion for broadcasting, and the drive to make great radio.

All applicants will be asked about their working rights in New Zealand - i.e. resident, visa etc.
