Job description

HumblePod is hiring a full-time Podcast Editor to join our team in Knoxville, TN. We’re a podcast production company with a reputation for industry excellence and attention to detail in production and execution. While we serve clients globally and collaborate with a distributed team, this role is hybrid and requires you to be based in Knoxville and in the office 3–5 days per week.

This role is for a process-driven editor who thrives on producing consistent, high-quality work by following established workflows. We already have SOPs, templates, and checklists in place—your job is to execute them reliably, communicate early when something could derail a deadline, and help us ship great work week after week.

You’ll edit long-form podcast episodes and create short-form cutdowns with strong hooks and clean pacing. You’ll also support in-studio sessions and occasional on-location recordings (light travel).

Occasional nights/weekends may be required to support time-sensitive client needs (not routine).

Light travel is required for occasional on-location recording support.

Responsibilities

• Edit 4–5 podcast episodes per week (depending on runtime/complexity), delivering a polished, publish-ready final.
• Maintain quality and clarity: pacing, structure, audio cleanup, and clean video finishing.
• Cut short-form clips optimized for viewer attention:
• Develop a clear hook early
• Captions formatted cleanly
• Story beats that land a payoff

Quality control + SOP execution

• Follow HumblePod’s existing editing SOPs, export presets, naming conventions, and QA checklists.
• Maintain clean, consistent project organization and handoff-ready files.
• Flag issues early (missing assets, bad audio, unclear direction) so deadlines don’t slip.

Publishing support

• Upload and schedule podcast audio and video content in accordance with the production calendar and SOPs.
• Confirm that the correct version and metadata are used before publishing.

Note: This role focuses on publishing the core podcast content itself (audio/video). Social media scheduling is not a primary responsibility.

• Assist with in-studio recordings (basic setup support, media ingest, and project handoff).
• Some light travel for occasional on-location client recordings as needed.

*Note: Having a valid passport is recommended for this role.

Team collaboration

• Work in ClickUp, Coda, and Slack to keep tasks, deadlines, and statuses up to date.
• Communicate clearly, take feedback well, and contribute to a positive team environment.

Required Skills

• 1–3+ years of professional editing experience or equivalent training + portfolio.
• Experience editing podcasts (video + audio) and interview-based content.
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working from checklists/SOPs.
• Storytelling fundamentals and the ability to “hook” attention in short content.
• Proficiency with at least one professional video editing tool: DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Working knowledge of audio cleanup/restoration tools like iZotope RX.
• Professional understanding of at least one of the following DAWs: Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, or Logic Pro.
• Comfortable working with large media files in Dropbox and Google Drive.
• Reliable, collaborative communicator with good team rapport.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with captions workflows and template-based lower-thirds.
• Experience working with mobile editing apps like Adobe Rush, CapCut, Captions, etc.
• Experience working in a recording studio and/or with live sound.
• Familiarity with Blackmagic Design gear/studio workflows.
• Experience working with tech companies or startups.

Day-to-Day (What you’ll actually do)

A typical day/week looks like:

• Check ClickUp for priorities, deadlines, and notes.
• Ingest footage/audio, prep the project according to SOP.
• Cut and polish a long-form episode (pacing + clarity + cleanup).
• Pull 2–6 potential clip moments; finish 1–3 clips with captions.
• Run a QC pass (export settings, loudness/levels, captions, naming, versions) on an episode.
• Upload/schedule audio/video releases per the production calendar.
• Team updates: what shipped, what’s blocked, what needs review.
• Some weeks include studio days or occasional travel days.

What success looks like

Content ships on time and matches SOP standards

Deliverables are organized, correctly versioned, and QC’d

Short-form clips consistently start strong (hook) and feel intentional (story beats/payoff)

Long-form content (podcasts) starts strong and is professionally edited to the customer’s specs.

The team enjoys working with you (clear communication + steady follow-through)

Compensation

This is a full-time salaried position. Pay range is $40,000 – $45,000.
