As a Podcaster at Audience Ops, you’ll be the on-air host and content planner for several of our clients’ podcasts. All will be audio podcasts, some will also be video (posted to YouTube). You should be comfortable on-air in both formats.

Here’s why our teammates love being part of the Audience Ops crew:

Steady, longterm, reliable freelance retainer.
You get to brainstorm and research your own topics for podcast episodes.
Our editors, content managers, other teammates are here to support you.
Work from anywhere (as long as you have a quiet, reliable work environment for recording)
The best team Slack chat on the Internet 🙂

As a Podcaster, you will be responsible for:

Planning and preparing episode topics and interview questions.
Hosting and recording the episodes with a co-host or guest.
Writing brief show notes for each episodes.

(We’ll have someone else take care of audio editing, uploading, and setup, but experience with these is a plus! Also most of the client communication, scheduling, and coordination will be handled by our content manager. You focus on the creative stuff!).

Most episodes will be interview-based where you will interview a subject-matter expert, often the client or someone on their team.

All podcasts will be business focused, in a variety of niches. You should be comfortable with diving into topics and subject matter that may be unfamiliar to you, but you can do light research to confidently host an on-air interview with a subject-matter expert. By the way, in your application, please tell us the name of your favorite podcast!

If you have any experience with these areas, it’s a plus:

Startups
Tech / software products
Online marketing
Web design & development
Software development
WordPress
Business team collaboration
Enterpreneurship

You must own your own proper equipment / recording environment:

Decent microphone
Web cam for videos
Computer with stable Internet connection
Clean and distraction-free space to record on-air episodes.

You must be based in the United States and available during weekday business hours.
