Executive Producer – BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and Asian Network

Location — Salford or Birmingham
Salary Band — D
Hybrid Working — Minimum four days per week in office

Audio Always is an independent audio production company that makes content people love across radio, podcasts, audiobooks and beyond. That includes making content that reaches millions of people every week across the BBC’s national networks. This role sits right at the heart of that — leading the editorial and creative delivery of content across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and the Asian Network. If you want to make a real impact on some of the UK’s biggest radio stations, this is the job.

The Role

As Executive Producer, you’ll own the editorial, creative and technical delivery of live and pre-recorded content across three of the BBC’s most-loved networks. You’ll lead and develop your team, manage relationships with on-air talent, and play a central role in shaping what Audio Always makes next.

You’ll be based in either Salford or Birmingham, but this role spans both cities — you’ll spend time across our teams and shows in each location, so flexibility to work between the two is essential.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading the end-to-end delivery of live studio and pre-recorded content — on time, broadcast-ready, and to the highest editorial standards.
  • Managing talent throughout the production process and building strong relationships with on-air talent and their agents.
  • Training and developing Producers, Assistant Producers and Broadcast Assistants.
  • Identifying new on-air and off-air talent.
  • Ensuring all content meets Editorial Guidelines and regulatory standards.
  • Leading creative brainstorms and driving the idea development process from concept to commission.
  • Writing pitch documents and presenting ideas with confidence.
  • Delivering content within budget and reporting costs clearly.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong editorial judgement and the confidence to lead projects independently.
  • A passion for audio and a deep understanding of how audiences engage with content across platforms.
  • Solid knowledge of audio editing software and broadcast systems.
  • An empathetic, hands-on approach to developing the people around you.
  • Experience managing talent — with the trust and diplomacy that requires.
  • Highly organised, adaptable, and able to handle multiple priorities at pace.
  • A creative thinker who's always looking for the next great idea.
  • Flexibility to work across our Salford and Birmingham bases.

We are committed to equal employment opportunities and to ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you have a need that we can accommodate in our hiring process, please let us know.
