Podcast Associate (Content & Production - Fractional / Remote)

About the Role

This is a hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of a podcast.

You will work closely with our client to help plan, organise, and prepare episodes — from topic research to guest coordination and pre-recording preparation.

This role is suited for someone who is

early in their career

curious and proactive

comfortable doing both thinking and execution

If you are looking for a senior, strategy-heavy role, this will not be a fit.

• Help refine episode ideas with the team
• Prepare simple discussion notes for recordings

1. Guest Research & Coordination

• Help identify and shortlist potential guests

• Send instructions and reminders to guests
• Support basic setup coordination

1. Workflow & Tracking

• Maintain episode tracker and content calendar
• Ensure tasks are completed on time
• Follow up on outstanding items

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a senior strategy role
• Not creative direction
• Not just admin — but also not leadership
