JOY FM & BOOST 95.5 Production & Imaging Director

When your radio is on, you turn the volume up for what’s in between the songs more than the music itself. You notice the nuances in how a song is produced. You love getting into the weeds of how a station flows. (The magical/intangible but very real forward momentum thing.) You get how imaging defines a station just as much as Air Talent, and your best promo’s are so compelling they could be movie trailers.

If most of this describes you, 99.1 JOY FM & BOOST 95.5 in St. Louis want to talk to you about being our next full time Production Director. We’re a locally owned Christian AC & Christian Hip Hop combo who takes segues & stopsets seriously! If you’re a quality producer who can zoom around Adobe Audition at warp speed, apply today. The ideal candidate has 5+ years professional production experience. It’s icing on the cake if you have basic music knowledge (like counting beats) and solid on-air skills.

To apply, send your resume’ and a link to your best audio production. Aircheck demo’s welcome too. Don’t forget to mention where you saw this post. Email [email protected] today. JOY FM & BOOST are equal opportunity employers. Females and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
