Podcast Associate (Content & Production - Fractional / Remote)
Substance | Level Up by Substance • Malaysia • Philippines
Posted: March 23, 2026
Job Description
About the Role
This is a hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of a podcast.
You will work closely with our client to help plan, organise, and prepare episodes — from topic research to guest coordination and pre-recording preparation.
This role is suited for someone who is:
- early in their career
- curious and proactive
- comfortable doing both thinking and execution
If you are looking for a senior, strategy-heavy role, this will not be a fit.
What You Will Do
1. Topic & Episode Support
- Research and suggest conversation topics
- Help refine episode ideas with the team
- Prepare simple discussion notes for recordings
2. Guest Research & Coordination
- Help identify and shortlist potential guests
- Prepare guest briefs (basic background, angles)
- Support scheduling and communication
3. Pre-Recording Preparation
- Ensure all materials are ready before recording
- Send instructions and reminders to guests
- Support basic setup coordination
4. Workflow & Tracking
- Maintain episode tracker and content calendar
- Ensure tasks are completed on time
- Follow up on outstanding items
What This Role Is NOT
- Not a senior strategy role
- Not creative direction
- Not just admin — but also not leadership
Who This Is For
We are looking for someone who:
- Is organised and reliable
- Communicates clearly
- Is curious about people and conversations
- Is comfortable doing detailed work
- Can take ownership but still execute hands-on
You do not need years of experience — but you need the right mindset.
Time Commitment
- Up to 16 hours per week
- Flexible, remote
- May increase slightly as the podcast scales
Location
- Philippines (preferred)
- OR Malaysia
How to Apply
Instead of a generic CV, send:
- One topic you think would make a good podcast conversation (keep it simple)
- One guest you would invite and why
