We're Hiring!

Immediate Opportunity for a Part-Time Podcast Publicist

We are hiring a Podcast Publicist to join our small but growing agency. We are a female-led agency that books our high-level entrepreneurial clients on aligned podcasts. 

 --

Hours: While some weeks are busier than others, our publicists average 5-7 hours a week per client, and typically start out at 1-2 clients, with the expectation to grow into 4-6 over time. 

Availability: While the schedule is flexible, please note the following is expected:

– Respond to emails/Slack messages with clients, colleagues and podcast hosts with a 24 hour turnaround M-F

– Team calls for 45 minutes every other Tuesday and a weekly 30-minute touch base call with manager (M-Tu agreed upon time)

– Weekly client status email updates sent Fridays

Compensation: Compensation is per client and starts at $450 per month. The more clients you have, the more you will earn. 

This role is a part-time 1099 position that may evolve into a W2 role.

Location: Remote, but ideally located in the North American timezone for calls.

We are a company that highly values diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, LGBTQIA+ and those who hold other marginalized identities to apply, even if you don’t think you fit 100% of the criteria.

While PR experience is great, we encourage applicants who love podcasts & writing and have a large working knowledge of podcasts to apply.

We’re Not Right for Each Other If:

If you’re not interested in learning and developing new skills, then this position is not for you. This position requires a genuine interest in what we (and our clients!) are all about and a desire to grow professionally.

If you’re looking for something quick or short-term, then this position isn’t for you. We need someone who is interested in growing with us and possibly becoming a W2 employee someday.

If you’re not willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, then this is not for you. 

If you are looking to continue to pitch private clients for podcast guesting opportunities.
