• Design episode thumbnails in Canva using an existing template
• Upload and schedule episodes on Podbean and YouTube, including thumbnails, playlists, tags, end screens, and cards
• Duplicate and update the Mailchimp newsletter campaign for each episode, following tracking rules
• Schedule LinkedIn posts in Metricool or send post materials to the hosts
• Confirm that every episode is scheduled on all platforms ahead of its release date

What We're Looking For

• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro (non-negotiable)
• Experience with Adobe Media Encoder, or the ability to learn it quickly
• Basic graphic design skills in Canva
• Comfort uploading and scheduling content on YouTube and podcast hosting platforms
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow a written process step by step
• Reliable time management so every episode goes out on time
• A high level of trustworthiness and discretion when handling company accounts and logins
• Clear, responsive communication and good English skills
• A computer capable of running Adobe Premiere Pro smoothly, plus a reliable high-speed internet connection
• A portfolio or links to previous video editing work
• Experience with Riverside, Adobe Podcast, Mailchimp, or Metricool is a plus
• Experience using AI tools such as Claude in a content workflow is a plus
• Background in podcast production or social media content is a plus

Perks - What's in It for You?

• Compensation: $1,500 - $1,700 USD per month (20 hours per week)
• Fully remote opportunity
