Podcast Producer (Performance Contract) - Remote

Podcast Producer

A podcast is not an audio file. It is a relationship engine.
The Wilkinson Firm is positioned to host the conversations the workforce industry is not having. CMHCs, hotels, federal contractors, MBE founders, behavioral health operators, hospitality strategy executives - the buyer set we serve is the guest set we want on air.
We need a producer who can run the full operation: guest sourcing, prep briefs, recording coordination, audio polish, episode publishing, distribution, and show-notes craft.
This is a performance role with a clear climb. Lower starter rates. Real upside as the show scales.

Source and book guests aligned with TWF's three divisions (HR Advisory, PHES, GovCon)
Pre-interview prep briefs for the founder before each recording
Coordinate recording logistics, post-production, audio polish
Write show notes, episode descriptions, time-stamped chapters
Manage publishing across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and embedded distribution
Coordinate clipping (work alongside Podcast Clipper)
Track downloads, retention, sponsorship pipeline
