Luxembourg Radio 100,7 Temps plein
Associate Editor, English-Language Service (m/f) Luxembourg – Full-time – Reports to the Editor-in-Chief of Radio 100,7 Shape a new voice for Luxembourg Keen on building something new? A new media platform for Luxembourg’s international community? Ready to lead a team, shape an editorial vision and build an English-language podcast and news offer from the ground up? In autumn 2027, Luxembourg’s public service radio broadcaster, Média de service public 100,7, will launch a news service in English. We are looking for the editor who will build it. A new service At the core of the offer will be weekly podcasts, backed by a website, an app and social channels, all produced by a team of five. The idea is simple: a low entry barrier and a high standard. We assume no prior knowledge of Luxembourg, yet we speak to an educated, well-informed audience. We explain rather than merely report, handing listeners the keys to understanding the news. And we tell stories about people like them, members of the international community in Luxembourg that makes up nearly half of the country’s population. The formats are not set yet. You will help define them and test them through pilot episodes with focus groups before launch in mid-September 2027. A fresh perspective You will lead the English-language team of five composed of journalists and an audience development specialist. You will set the editorial direction across podcasts, website and social media, and shape the formats from day one. You will run the team, assigning stories, setting deadlines and coaching junior staff. You will find the stories our audience needs, with an emphasis on explanatory journalism. You will edit and fact-check our output and supervise podcast production. And you will apply public service principles of independence, due impartiality, balance, pluralism and accountability, working closely with the Radio 100,7 newsroom and reporting to its Editor-in-Chief. What you bring to the team We are looking for a senior journalist with at least ten years of experience, including managerial and editorial roles, who is at home in both audio and digital journalism and passionate about explanatory, user-needs-based reporting. You are a native or equivalent speaker of English, ideally with at least passive Luxembourgish, German and/or French. You lead with strong people skills and solid editorial judgement in line with public service media criteria, and live (or are open to live) in Luxembourg, amongst the people we are reporting for. Experience editing non-native English writers, on-air or audio editing skills, knowledge of SEO and analytics, or a background covering Luxembourg would be a plus. Why join us This is a chance to help build something new, rather than simply step into an established newsroom routine. You will join a small, ambitious team with the backing of a public service broadcaster. You have a real say in how the English-language service develops, which stories it tells, how it reaches its audience and what its editorial identity will be. Média de service public 100,7 is home to Radio 100,7, launched in 1993, the classical music station Opus and the youth brand komma, created in 2025. We are a team of about 70 on Kirchberg, a member of the European Broadcasting Union, publicly funded and free of advertising. The role starts in early spring 2027, ahead of the planned launch in September 2027.

We offer
a permanent contract and a competitive salary.
