Working directly with the podcast host, you will help maintain a consistent production schedule and ensure a smooth guest experience. This fully remote freelance opportunity is ideal for someone passionate about finance, strong editorial storytelling, and independent project management.

Accountabilities

• Identify and research interesting potential guests, including fund managers, traders, financial authors, entrepreneurs, and other industry experts.

• Evaluate potential guests and recommend the most relevant and engaging candidates to the podcast host.

• Coordinate recording schedules and confirm appointments with selected guests.

• Research each guest thoroughly, including their professional background, investment track record, publications, books, and previous interviews.

• Develop tailored interview questions based on each guest's expertise, experience, and professional achievements.

• Maintain and regularly update the guest pipeline and booking status in Notion.

• Ensure clear communication and organization across multiple guest bookings and upcoming episodes.

• Coordinate post-publication guest promotion by encouraging and facilitating the sharing of released episodes.

• Use AI-powered tools and features to streamline research, outreach, organization, and editorial preparation.

The ideal candidate is genuinely interested in financial markets and trading, combines strong German-language writing skills with excellent organizational abilities, and enjoys working independently in a fast-paced podcast environment.

• Genuine interest in finance, investing, stock markets, and trading.

• Ability to understand financial topics and distinguish knowledgeable industry professionals from individuals with limited expertise.

• Excellent written German skills, with an engaging, natural, and conversational writing style.

• Strong research skills and the ability to quickly understand a guest's professional background and areas of expertise.

• Good communication and interpersonal skills for professional outreach and follow-up.

• Strong organizational and time-management abilities, with the capacity to manage several guest relationships and bookings simultaneously.

• Enthusiasm for AI tools and actively using AI-powered features within everyday workflows.

• Previous experience in podcast production, guest booking, journalism, editorial research, or financial media is an advantage.

• Flexible compensation structure: propose your preferred payment model, whether per episode, monthly, or through another arrangement.

• Direct collaboration with the podcast host, ensuring short communication channels and quick decision-making.
