Description

TL;DR: Kharon is seeking a full-time senior live video producer to lead and grow its webinar program. The position is based in Washington D.C. and requires in-office attendance at least 3 days per week.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Sourcing and Developing Topics: You will collaborate with key stakeholders across the room to identify the most urgent subjects and "connect the dots" between complex data and real-world impact.
• Directing the Flow: You'll build game plans for each webinar, helping our experts move away from scripts and toward natural conversations.
• Oversee Production: You'll lead the live-to-tape environment-managing camera angles, monitoring audio levels, and ensuring the lighting is perfect.
• Active Showrunning: You'll manage the timing and provide cues to talent to keep the conversation moving, energetic, and on-track.
• Audience Connection: You will monitor live reactions and chats to surface the best audience questions, keeping viewers engaged and part of the conversation.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience: Minimum 5+ years in studio/video production, broadcasting, or professional video podcasts, ideally within a newsroom or similar environment.
• Editorial Instincts: Strong news judgment and the ability to speak with subject matter experts to extract "insider" value. Skill in drafting structured outlines and interview questions that guide a complex narrative without losing the audience.
• Technical Familiarity: Experience with podcast-style studio gear (mics, cameras, lighting) and live-switching software (e.g., Riverside).
• Professional Profile: You combine meticulous organization with a journalist's curiosity. You are a collaborative partner who brings a steadying influence to the studio.
• Industry Interest: Experience with-or at least a strong interest in-national security, geopolitics, and global trade.

Please submit:

• A résumé
• A link to a portfolio of studio-based projects, video podcasts, or webinars you've produced.

For eight years and more than 300 productions, Kharon's webinar series has become the go-to destination for authoritative analysis of sanctions, export controls, supply chains and investment risk, drawing tens of thousands of viewers a year and convening senior government officials alongside leading industry practitioners.

Now the program is evolving toward a polished, conversational video-podcast format. Reporting to the Director of Content and Strategy, the producer will sit at the intersection of Kharon's marketing and news teams, leading that shift and turning deep intelligence and expert analysis into must-watch programming.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the next chapter of a program that has already earned its place in the industry. The producer is not just a technician but an editorial partner, skilled at transforming complex topics into engaging conversations. In-house experts, senior government officials, industry leaders and a data and research engine that surfaces stories before they break are among the resources on hand, along with a dedicated audience ready to engage. Few editorial roles offer this kind of foundation.

The right candidate will also help build a small studio from the ground up, shaping the physical and technical infrastructure behind the show as well as its content. This person will work at the nexus of risk intelligence and data, alongside a small, high-output team that values curiosity, clarity and impact. Top candidates are self-starters who thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven, collaborative environments.

To the right person, this will be the perfect kind of challenge. Our mission is compelling, our product is powerful, and we're growing at a rate that makes us unstoppable. If you're looking to be surrounded by people who will inspire you to think and challenge you to grow then look no further. Our team is made up of some of the most visionary and uncompromising individuals you will ever encounter. We don't take ourselves seriously but we're serious about the work we do and there is absolutely no slowing us down.

To keep that momentum going, we do our very best to make sure that each and every team member is completely taken care of. We're nothing without our people and we strive to offer a package that reflects that. As a Kharon team member, you can expect:

• Fully sponsored medical, dental, and vision insurances
• FSA program for both medical and dependent care
• Long term disability
• 401k + Roth with matching and immediate vesting
• Flexible paid time off + 11 paid holidays

The base salary range at Kharon is set between$110,000-$120,000. Please note that this figure does not necessarily include potential bonuses, commissions, benefits, or equity that may be part of the overall compensation package.
