Experienced Podcast Editor/Manager

Looking for an experienced Podcast Editor able to edit 4-6 podcasts a week to start. This includes adding into/outro music, editing out filler words, editing cross-talk, adjusting proper sound levels of tracks, taking out background noises, optimizing sound quality, etc. Preference given to someone who already has access to tools they are familiar and comfortable with and can quickly, efficiently edit.
Strong communication skills required (including when further supports are needed), ability to take direction, works independently once they receive direction, accurately forecasts time needed for project completion, prioritizes tasks, and respond well to feedback.
Please provide specifics on which sound editing tools you have access to, which sound editing tools you have experience in, how long you have been editing podcasts, your availability (whether you are interested in eventually moving into a full-time position or only part-time) and any salary expectations.
Competitive candidates will be paid to do a test edit of a short (12-17 min.) podcast to demonstrate their skills. Evaluation will not only be on the quality of the finished product, but in their ability to deliver it according to the expectations set, and the reasonableness of time to complete the task/achieve those results.
At this stage, someone able to edit short form video and experienced with YouTube will be paid a higher rate and considered for additional hours.
This is a contract relationship with a small US based business that is intent on amplifying the number of women in podcasting. Less than 1/3 of podcasts are hosted by women and it is the mission of this business to take the tech and stress out of podcasting (in the most affordable way) for women so they can focus on the parts of podcasting they enjoy most.
It would be an honor to have you be part of this mission.
It is our desire to build a long-term relationship with the staff we hire. A bonus equivalent to what is seen as a “13th month” is offered at the end of November, and time off is negotiated as part of the contract.
We want someone who enjoys this work and is happy to be part of this team – hopefully it is you!
