KQED is hiring an Engagement Producer to support storytelling and audience engagement with Latinx communities on KQED’s digital platforms. This person will play a critical role in supporting KQED’s Latinx Initiative to meet Latinx audiences where they are with original, informative content reflective of their needs, interests, and experiences. The Engagement Producer will be devoted to community-listening and designing innovative content experiences on digital platforms that best serve Latinx audiences and foster authentic conversations and connections. The right person for this role will have strong Latinx cultural competency, be a savvy digital storyteller with experience in social media, and possess a strategic mindset around audience growth and content. This position is on the Audience Development team and reports to the Director of Digital Engagement.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

The mission that drives us:

KQED provide citizens of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.

This role will work hybrid between working in KQED's newly renovated headquarters and working remotely. KQED requires employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
