Job description

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.

What You Will Do

1. Topic & Episode Support

  • Research and suggest conversation topics
  • Help refine episode ideas with the team
  • Prepare simple discussion notes for recordings

2. Guest Research & Coordination

  • Help identify and shortlist potential guests
  • Prepare guest briefs (basic background, angles)
  • Support scheduling and communication

3. Pre-Recording Preparation

  • Ensure all materials are ready before recording
  • Send instructions and reminders to guests
  • Support basic setup coordination

4. 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

Requirements

Who This Is For

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is organised and reliable
  • Communicates clearly
  • Is curious about people and conversations
  • Is comfortable doing detailed work
  • Can take ownership but still execute hands-on

You do not need years of experience — but you need the right mindset.

Time Commitment

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

Location

  • Philippines (preferred)
  • OR Malaysia

How to Apply

Instead of a generic CV, send:

  1. One topic you think would make a good podcast conversation (keep it simple)
  2. One guest you would invite and why

Benefits

  • Remote working
  • Work from anywhere
