  • Act as the primary editorial bridge between Kantipur Daily, The Kathmandu Post, and Kantipur FM, converting high-value print journalism and live radio into polished on-demand content.

  • Synchronize with newsrooms to package complex stories across complementary formats, ensuring audio content serves as a "News Decoder" for print and digital reports.

  • Oversee the entire production lifecycle, from conceptualization and scripting to output and dissemination across all major podcast platforms.

  • Manage and upgrade the audio infrastructure, ensuring production teams have the necessary tools (e.g., high-quality microphones and editing suites) to meet industry standards.

  • Navigate complex music licensing and intellectual property issues, prioritizing human-driven, original formats that are safe for global on-demand distribution.

  • Manage the strategic distribution of content across the KMG app, FM airwaves, and global platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Who You Are

  • A storyteller with a deep understanding of how to use voice and sound establish a relationship with listeners.

  • Someone with advanced technical skills in audio finalization, mixing, and sound design.

  • Have a proven ability to navigate multiple editorial newsrooms and align diverse professional interests under a unified audio strategy.

  • Possess technical knowledge of RSS management, metadata optimization, and digital marketing for audio content.
