- Manage the production process for a number of shows.
- Handle all aspects of audio production, including scheduling, recording, editing, assembling, mixing and publishing episodes.
- Manage the production schedule of each show.
- Conduct relevant research and book high-calibre guests to appear on the shows.
- Lead audio recording sessions both in-studio and in the field.
- Ensure each episode meets the highest production standards.
- Review episodes for quality assurance before each episode is released.
- Create and review a range of promotional assets to promote each episode.
- Copywriting of episode titles and episode show notes.
- Work collaboratively with a team of writers, producers, editors and sound engineers.
- Any other relevant tasks, as required.
