The Opportunity
Rockney Media is launching three podcasts and is looking for an exceptional Podcast Operations & Production Coordinator to help build them from the ground up. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves podcasts, media, research, interesting people, and making things happen.
What You’ll Do
No two weeks will look exactly alike. You’ll work across podcast development, guest relations, research, production, content, and operations. Responsibilities will include:
- Research interesting potential guests and develop targeted guest lists
- Find creative ways to reach high-profile or difficult-to-reach guests
- Conduct background research on guests, topics, trends, and upcoming episodes
- Reach out to prospective guests, agents, managers, publicists, experts, and other contacts
- Manage guest communication from initial outreach through recording
- Coordinate recording schedules, guest availability, studios, and production logistics
- Prepare guest briefs, background materials, research, and talking points before interviews
- Help develop episode concepts and identify timely or compelling topics
- Organize episode rundowns and supporting research
- Coordinate with podcast producers, editors, videographers, studios, designers, and other creative partners
- Track episodes from idea through guest outreach, booking, recording, editing, approval, publication, and promotion
- Maintain guest pipelines, production calendars, contact databases, and content trackers
- Review episodes and identify strong moments, quotes, and clips for social media
Key Requirements
You don’t need to know how to do everything on day one. You do need to be the kind of person who figures things out and can manage multiple moving pieces simultaneously. This is an opportunity to join Rockney Media at the beginning and play a meaningful role in building three podcast brands and the systems, relationships, and content operation behind them.
