Podcast Audio Editor (short term contract)

Let’s skip the corporate fluff.

We run a B2B podcast agency that works with founders, operators, and executive-level clients. 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.
