Coach hosts on recording best practices and follow up to track improvements
Assist the production team with audio and video editing
Create and coordinate audio and video promos
Build relationships with audio, video, and software brands for partnerships
Spot problems, propose solutions, and improve how work gets done across the team

Able to manage multiple shows, priorities, and deadlines at once
Self-motivated and comfortable taking ownership of projects from start to finish
Familiarity with podcast hosting and analytics platforms such as Simplecast is a plus
Experience with programmatic advertising, dynamic ad insertion, or ad tracking tools is a plus
What Success Looks Like:
New shows launch smoothly with clear expectations and fewer follow-up questions
The onboarding guide becomes the go-to resource for every new host
Shows across the network noticeably improve in audio and video quality
Show pages, feeds, and metadata are accurate and up to date
Hosts and producers know they can rely on you for fast, helpful answers
