Job description

Growth Producer

Hello from Juice Box Studios. We are a creator‑led narrative studio developing original stories and entertainment IP. We recently launched Office Drama, a work‑culture talk show that reached Spotify’s Top 10 Business Podcasts. If you want to help us break the cultural zeitgeist and build the defining media brand for modern careers, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

Growth Strategy & Audience Development (40%)

• Lead initiatives to increase audience growth, retention, engagement, and discoverability.
• Analyze episode performance and reception.
• Identify editorial opportunities, collaborations, cultural moments, and audience behaviors worth building around.
• Build relationships with distribution platforms and partners to unlock editorial placements and growth opportunities.

Packaging & Distribution (30%)

• Own titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and promotional assets across our platforms – YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.
• Manage publishing schedule across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, ART19/Megaphone, and social platforms.

Project Management (20%)

• Own production timelines and coordinate cross‑functional work across editors, guests, contractors, and partners.
• Run creative reviews through final approval.

Editorial Development (10%)

• Research guests deeply and develop interview briefs.
• Pitch timely episode concepts rooted in internet conversations, career trends, and culture.
• Package interviews into compelling narratives and stories that audiences will click on.

Who We Want

Editorial & Creative

• You have exceptional editorial taste and recognize content that sparks conversation.
• You’re obsessed with storytelling, framing, and narrative tension, and instinctively rewrite headlines in your head.
• You’re an outstanding copywriter who can write titles, descriptions, LinkedIn posts, social captions, and promotional copy.
• You’re up‑to‑date with internet trends and genuinely enjoy research.

Obsessed with Growth

• You reverse‑engineer great work by studying successful creators, podcasts, and media companies.
• You understand YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and emerging platforms beyond surface‑level best practices.
• You think about distribution strategy as much as content strategy.

A Strong Operator

• You are extraordinarily organized.
• You proactively identify problems before anyone else notices them.
• You follow through relentlessly and don’t let deadlines slip.
• You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building systems where none previously existed.
• You take radical ownership and figure out how to prevent failures from recurring.

Tapped Into the Culture

• You’re tech literate and genuinely interested in technology, entrepreneurship, AI, creators, media, and the future of work.

This Job Isn’t For You If

• You need clear guidance or detailed briefs to have direction. This role requires taking ambiguous, open‑ended problems and running with them.
• You prefer managing over making; this is a hands‑on execution role.
• You’re uncomfortable wearing many hats in our early‑stage studio environment.
• You don’t work well in a fast‑moving startup where priorities evolve quickly.
• You’re never available on nights and weekends; flexibility is part of the creative process.
• You’ve never had any podcasting experience. Podcasting is a very specific content vertical.
