Company Description
Black Girls Do Politics is a media platform and community dedicated to amplifying conversations at the intersection of politics, culture, identity, and storytelling.
Through podcasts, digital content, live events, and editorial storytelling, we create space for thoughtful, accessible, and engaging conversations that center Black voices, lived experiences, and community impact.
Our work explores politics beyond headlines — connecting policy, culture, media, and everyday life in ways that feel relevant, honest, and human.
As we grow, Black Girls Do Politics is expanding across podcasts, creator-led media, live programming, and community engagement initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and connect audiences across generations.
We believe storytelling is a powerful tool for civic engagement, cultural dialogue, and building community.
About the RoleWe’re seeking a creative, organized, and proactive Content + Podcast Producer to support a growing independent media platform focused on politics, culture, and storytelling.
This role will primarily support Black Girls Do Politics while also assisting with the growth and launch of additional shows, including Black Men Do Politics, a teen-focused politics podcast, and a lifestyle-focused sake/wine podcast.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys both storytelling and execution — someone comfortable editing content, managing production timelines, coordinating guests, and helping content move consistently across platforms.
This is a great opportunity for a freelance producer, emerging media operator, or digital content creator looking to grow alongside an expanding platform with strong creative ownership and long-term potential.
