About Us
At LumiQ, we’re on a mission to make professional education enjoyable. As a
modern, audio-first learning platform, we empower accounting and finance
professionals to fulfill their continuing professional development requirements
through engaging podcasts. Over the past five years, we’ve cultivated a devoted
customer base of over 1,000 corporate and accounting firms across North
America.
LumiQ is proud to be a 2024 Deloitte Fast 50 winner. We’re creating awesome
proprietary content, nailing our go-to-market strategy, and being the first to
shake up the industry. Most recently, we secured a strategic investment
from Vertu Capital to fuel our expansion globally and continue executing on our
exponential growth plans.
LumiQ is also a certified Great Place to Work! We’re all about transparency,
ownership, innovation, and empathy. If you’re ready to make a real impact and
help us transform professional education, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re looking for a Senior Podcast Editor to join our Special Features team,
where we create high-production, long-form narrative stories that explore
fascinating business topics.
How did one family turn a value-less commodity into a century-long diamond
empire? Could organizational structure have been the cause of the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill? What happened to the employee who blew the whistle on the
Wirecard fraud?
Our Special Features are our most ambitious, highest impact, and highest
listened-to episodes on our platform. As Senior Podcast Editor, you’ll help
ensure each episode is clear, compelling, and delivers real value to our
audience of business professionals. You’ll act as both coach and critic, working
closely with producers to help them find the right angle, improve structure, and
elevate the tone and delivery of their work. You’ll also play a key role in
helping the team scale, ensuring we maintain our unique tone and quality as we
increase our production cadence.
Special Features aren’t just about telling a good story. They’re deep dives that
blend curiosity, creativity, and business insight to engage and inform our
audience. This is LumiQ’s unique editorial challenge: integrating story and
learnings into a cohesive narrative. Production expertise might give you strong
editorial and story judgment, while a business background might give you subject
matter fluency. But we aren’t just looking for one or the other. Your role will
be to ensure that every Special Feature finds the harmony between relevant
learning outcomes and engaging story.

Who You Are
* You have 5+ years of experience in long-form, narrative podcasting or
documentary-style storytelling, with a strong track record of editing
serialized, story-driven content.
* You bring editorial leadership: our style is evolving and there’s plenty of
room to experiment with structure and tone, but you can take a rough pitch or
a messy outline and identify what’s missing and what needs elevating.
* You have a demonstrated ability to integrate complex topics (bonus if they’re
financial or strategic business concepts) into a narrative.
* You’re a coach and collaborator: you know how to give clear, constructive
feedback to help producers level up, without taking the work over.
* While you won’t be editing tape directly, you’re familiar with podcasting
workflows and DAWs (e.g. Descript, Pro Tools).
* You’re business-curious: while you don’t need to be a CPA or have an MBA,
you’re comfortable navigating business frameworks and economic contexts. You
like to get nerdy, even if it’s not in your area of expertise.
What You'll Be Responsible
* Story Editing & Development
* Collaborate with producers to identify the right angle, scope, and narrative
arc for each episode, balancing storytelling with education
* Guide the integration of interview tape and scripting for maximum clarity and
impact
* Uphold high production quality, including appropriate host tone and sound
design that enhances (without distracting from) the story
* Business Relevance & Learning Integration
* Evaluate story relevance, appropriateness of depth, and applicability for an
audience of business and finance professionals
* Identify and clarify learning outcomes that emerge from the narrative –
without oversimplifying
* Ensure episodes strike the right tone: never a lecture, always engaging and
substantive
* Producer Coaching & Feedback
* Coach producers through multiple revision cycles, holding them to a high
quality standard to help them grow in their abilities
* Provide clear, actionable feedback on outlines, scripts, pitches, and rough
edits
* Troubleshoot complex narrative challenges (whether structural, tonal,
educational, or thematic)
