Right now, we’re looking for someone reliable who can help us handle podcast audio editing and sound design on a short-term contract basis. This is not a passive “cut silences and export” role. We need someone who cares about audio quality, can work quickly, communicates clearly, and can consistently deliver polished episodes. Some recordings won’t be perfect. Some turnarounds will move fast. You should be comfortable adapting and figuring things out without constant hand-holding. What you’ll be doing: Edit podcast episodes for clarity, pacing, and flow Clean up dialogue and improve overall audio quality Mix and master episodes for a professional final sound Add music, transitions, and light sound design where needed Flag audio issues early and communicate clearly with the team Deliver final files on schedule What we’re looking for: Experience editing podcasts or long-form spoken audio Strong attention to detail Good communication and reliability Ability to manage deadlines and multiple episodes Someone proactive who takes ownership of their work Requirements: Experience with DAWs like Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper, etc. Strong audio cleanup, mixing, and mastering skills Organized workflow and file management Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment Nice to have: Experience with video podcasts Sound design or music production background Familiarity with DaVinci Resolve or basic video editing workflows Compensation & Structure: Short-term contract to start Part-time / project-based Opportunity for longer-term work if it’s a good fit Final note: We care more about reliability, communication, and quality. If you can consistently deliver clean, polished podcast audio without needing to be micromanaged, you’ll probably do well here.
