Live Podcast Producer (Riverside) — Recurring Remote Interview Show

We’re looking for a skilled and organized Podcast Producer & Editor to assist with taking our in-person podcast to a virtual option. You’ll play a key role in producing, editing, and shaping the virtual look of the podcast to ensure it aligns with the existing brand. We will be using Riverside to capture the content and would like to have similar backgrounds and guidance before recording (products to buy, locations, etc) and during the recording (confirming sounds is ok, etc) to ensure we’re producing our best options. This is not an editing job with some setup help attached. The live seat is the job. Editing is the second half of it. Responsibilities - Be present in every Riverside session, start to finish, while we record - Monitor audio and video in real time. Catch drift, drops, and levels before they become a problem - Fix things mid-record without derailing the conversation. -Get each guest set up and settled in the few minutes before we roll: mic, headphones, lighting, framing - Be the calm in the room when a guest is nervous or their connection wobbles - After the record: Edit audio and video content using Riverside, ensuring high-quality output for distribution on Buzzsprout and YouTube. - Create compelling highlight and promo clips (e.g., 3 x 3-minute clips) for YouTube and Instagram to drive engagement. - Collaborate with the team to ensure clips align with our brand and goals. - Review and monitor listener counts and lead magnet click-through rates (e.g., midroll ads). - Analyze performance metrics to optimize content and audience engagement. Requirements - You've run live remote sessions, not just cut the files afterward. - You've had a guest's audio fall apart 20 minutes in and handled it without the host noticing. - You're steady with strangers and you make them feel handled. - You can solve problems alone, because there's no second set of hands. - Proficiency with platforms Riverside, Buzzsprout and YouTube for content distribution. - Understanding of social media promotion, for creating engaging clips for YouTube and Instagram. - Analytical mindset with the ability to track and interpret performance metrics (e.g., listener counts, ad performance). - Excellent communication and collaboration skills for team meetings and planning. - Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage a consistent content pipeline.
