Casual Producers

Te Tūranga –The opportunity 

An opportunity to work on a casual basis with New Zealand’s award-winning public media broadcaster. RNZ aims to strengthen Aotearoa and the Pacific through informative, challenging and entertaining content.

RNZ is looking for casual producers to pick up occasional shifts helping to make our programmes sing.

Te Mahi – About the job

You'll slot in from time to time producing on shows like Afternoons, Nine to Noon, Sunday Morning and Nights. Taking direction from an executive producer - and using your own initiative - you’ll be generating story ideas, developing them, and getting them to air.

We value producers who stay on top of the news, book and deliver great talent and know how to have a bit of fun with the audience and their colleagues. You also need to understand and value audiences on different platforms: live radio, web and social media.

Casual producers don’t have guaranteed shifts and the work is irregular.

These roles are office-based and often in a studio environment.
