We are a podcast strategy and growth business working with brands on establishing or growing B2B podcasts towards their ultimate business goals.

I'm hiring a

podcast editor and producer

cleanly, consistently, and to high quality spec

.

This role exists to help

increase capacity

, as well as allow an individual to grow and develop creatively with the company, and ultimately earn more responsibility and benefits.

I see this role eventually becoming full time for the right person and that person will help shape the direction of the business.

This will ultimately become a client facing role offering a lot of variety in your daily tasks as your experience and knowledge develops.

If you like structure, templates, and clear instructions, but also the room to bring your own imagination and ideas to your work, you'll enjoy this role.

What you'll be doing

Planning episode structure and story Preparing and cleaning up audio ready for editing Sharing plans for the edit with senior team and getting approval Obtaining relevant creative assets for the project (music/sfx/footage) using Podknows' depositories and Descript's content bank as well as some AI generation in certain cases Editing podcast audio to a broadcast-ready standard Applying intros/outros, ad markers, and templates Creating

dynamic and engaging audio edits

Consistency matters more than flair in this role. Creative freedom will be granted with experience.

Tools you'll need experience with/willing to train on

The Type of Person This Suits

Someone who:

Likes clear rules and expectations Wants a creative role they can grow with Follows instructions properly Asks questions instead of guessing and hoping Hits deadlines without drama Takes pride in clean, high quality work

This Role Is NOT for You If:

You want full creative control and run completely autonomously You dislike constructive feedback or revisions to 'get it right' You don't take direction well You want to build your own production brand alongside this work (this will eventually turn into a longer term full time role for the right person)

Qualifications

Experience with Adobe Audition, Descript, and Canva applications Decent video editing skills with a portfolio demonstrating previous work Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal Knowledge of social media management platforms and content creation strategies Demonstrated problem-solving skills with the capacity to troubleshoot technical issues efficiently Organised with the ability to manage multiple projects effectively and under tight deadlines

Hours & Pay

This is a role which will begin as a freelance opportunity with plans to develop it into a full time position with all the benefits of such. But for now:

Ongoing, repeat work Per-episode or per-month payment (to be discussed) Volume increases as trust builds Opportunity to take on

more responsibility and enjoy creative freedom

over time
