About the role
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

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:
One topic you think would make a good podcast conversation (keep it simple)
One guest you would invite and why
Benefits
Remote working
