Podcast Operations & Production Assistant

Job Description

About the Role

Our client is launching a hiring, careers, and leadership realities. This role exists to run the engine behind the podcast so the host can focus on content, conversations, and authority — not logistics.

This is not a creative role. It is an operations, coordination, and execution role.

Core Responsibilities

1. Podcast Operations (Primary)

  • Coordinate and schedule podcast recordings with guests across time zones
  • Send guest pre-read briefs, recording instructions, and reminders
  • Set up recording sessions (e.g. Riverside / SquadCast / Zencastr)
  • Run basic pre-record checks (audio, mic, internet readiness)
  • Manage raw audio/video files post-recording
  • Maintain a simple content calendar and episode tracker

2. Publishing & Distribution

  • Upload final episodes to podcast and social platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.)
  • Prepare and upload basic show notes (template-based, not creative writing)
  • Ensure correct titles, descriptions, tags, and links are in place
  • Keep episodes organised and archived correctly

3. Coordination with Editor & Repurposer

  • Hand off raw files to editor
  • Receive edited assets and organise deliverables
  • Coordinate timelines so episodes are released consistently
  • Flag any delays, issues, or missing assets early

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not podcast strategy
  • Not creative direction
  • Not deep audio/video editing
  • Not social media posting
  • Not content ideation

(Those are handled separately.)

Ideal Profile

This role is a strong fit if you are:

  • Highly organised and process-driven
  • Comfortable working with tools and platforms
  • Proactive with follow-ups and reminders
  • Calm, clear, and professional with guests
  • Able to work independently with minimal hand-holding

Backgrounds that work well:

  • Digital Operations Coordinator
  • Project / Content Ops support
  • Podcast assistant or media ops support
  • Business Support Operations

Required Skills & Tools

  • Strong written English (clear, professional, concise)
  • Comfortable with Zoom-style platforms and recording tools
  • Basic understanding of podcast workflows
  • Google Drive / Notion / spreadsheets
  • Reliable internet and availability for scheduling across regions

Time Commitment

  • Up to 16 hours per week
  • Flexible, remote
  • May increase slightly as the podcast scales

What Success Looks Like

  • Episodes are recorded smoothly with no last-minute chaos

  • Guests feel prepared and taken care of

  • Files are always organised and easy to find

  • Publishing happens on time, every time

  • The host never have to worry or follow up about logistics

  • Strong Communicator

  • Remote working

  • Work from anywhere as long as it accommodates to host and guest’s schedule
