Remote Interview Editor
When you apply, please make sure your heading reads as follows: “I actually read the instructions”
Who we are:
We’re a growing podcast production company whose mission is to bring out the genius of our client’s through creating valuable, growth-oriented podcasts.
Our mission is to “make podcasting easy” so that our clients can focus on creating a positive impact in the world. Our podcasts are mostly interview shows in niches such as business, technology, mental health, and personal development.
We’re a small (but expanding) team of hardworking and passionate individuals who want to create a positive difference through the power of podcasting.
What we’re looking for:
We need an Interview Editor! This is a remote (work from home) position.
Interview Editors need to understand how podcasts flow and what should and should not be included in an interview. They should be able to work with a tool like Descript to assemble the episode and ensure the interview flows naturally for the listener. They don’t edit the audio or adjust any of the sound, they trim and delete filler words, extra dialogue, and rambling in the conversation.
Interview editors possess a unique ability to know what information needs to be edited and what content is relevant to the subject of the show. They have a knack for understanding the flow of dialogues and a natural curiosity and drive to learn new things.
Salary & growth opportunities:
? Interview Editor Starts at $100/week + bonuses USD (20-40 Hours/Week)
? You’ll work with our operations manager as you learn the position
? You’ll be assigned projects slowly as we begin to build your confidence
? Growth opportunities
? Strong opportunity for editors to take on additional work.
? You’ll be graded on your interview clarity, reliability, and communication.
? We actively promote from within.
The ideal candidate:
? Podcasts: Some understanding of podcasts is necessary. You are not expected to edit any audio. However you should understand what typical podcasts sound like and the flow, structure of popular podcast genres.
? Editing and Proofreading: A good interview editor should have the ability to identify and remove errors as well as identify and potentially correct awkward or unclear phrasing. This means being able to cut and edit out any unnecessary fluff from the conversation and catching any mistakes in the recording and noting any specific or relevant information for the show notes.
? Content Strategy: The purpose of your position is to find and create great content for our clients. Your job is to know what someone is looking for in a podcast. You’ll be editing the interview, but this interview will be the basis and fuel for the client’s entire content strategy. So a great interview editor will see the moments and segments of an interview that will make for great social media content, promotional clips, and supplementary content.
? Descript: Some experience with Descript is required. You do not need to know the program inside and out. But you will be expected to learn how to use the program. It is a way to streamline the process.
? Problem solving: The cardinal sin at our company is asking someone a question you could have solved yourself. We need people who are willing to “figure it out” and don’t mind rolling up their sleeves. That doesn’t mean we aren’t here to support you, we are. But only when you encounter a problem that you truly can’t solve. You’re expected to bring more to the table than expected and hurdle problems, not allow them to get in your way.
What energizes you:
? Learning new things
? Collaborating with a team
? Making a positive impact
? Professional growth
This position requires…
? Strong English proficiency
? Willing to work a US time zone (if needed)
? Remote working. This position requires reliable internet connection.
? All job offers start with a 60-day trial to make sure that we’re the right fit for each other.
Our values:
Growth: We believe growth is fundamental to living a quality life. We believe that growing personally and professionally is a key component of happiness. We find that bringing this mindset allows our team to be more innovative, productive, and adaptable. In short, we believe a growth mindset not only benefits the company but also contributes to your future success as well.
Truth: Truth is at the core of everything we do. This commitment to honesty and transparency extends to all aspects of our work, including the hiring process. We are seeking a skilled editor who shares our commitment to truth and is willing to be open and honest in their work. If something isn’t working, we expect our editor to speak up and offer solutions. If mistakes are made, we expect our editor to own up to them and work to correct them. We also value transparency and honesty and expect our editor to admit when they don’t know the answer to something and be willing to work to find a solution. If we disagree, we expect our editor to speak up and share their perspective. In short, we are looking for a podcast editor who shares our commitment to truth as the foundation for solving any problem.
Responsibility: We are always looking for ways to do more, give more, and help each other. We believe that taking responsibility means constantly seeking out opportunities to go further and make a positive impact. We don’t shy away from hard work and never use “That’s not my job” as an excuse. Instead, we embrace our skill set and use it proactively to influence the world around us in meaningful ways. We are seeking a podcast editor who shares this commitment to responsibility and is willing to lean into their work and take on challenges with a proactive approach. If you are someone who understands the true meaning of responsibility and is eager to make a difference, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity to join our team.
Heart: We believe that it is not enough to simply do the work – you also have to care about the people and projects you are working on. That means caring about your clients, your teammates, and yourself, and approaching your work with a sense of purpose and commitment. It’s not just about getting the job done, but about making a meaningful impact and understanding that there are people relying on you to do your best work. Sometimes, these people may not even realize the difference you are making, which makes it all the more important to approach your work with care and respect. We have been entrusted with a sacred responsibility to help our clients grow their businesses, and we take that responsibility seriously. We treat our clients’ businesses as if they were our own, and we are seeking a podcast editor who shares this commitment to care and excellence..
