Podcast Ops Associate (3-Month Contract)
A project or contract Consultant position at Eigen Labs, San Francisco CA, USA
Salary range: $4,000 to $7,000 (monthly rate) - subject to experience
The Role
We're building a podcast that reflects the voice, ambition and worldview of our leadership — and we need a sharp, execution-focused operator to help bring it to life. You'll work directly with our Director of Content, Comms & Community to run the day-to-day operations of the show: managing publishing workflows, keeping platforms running smoothly, coordinating guest logistics, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
This is a role for someone who thrives in the weeds. You won't be setting the strategy — you'll be making it happen. If you've run podcast operations end-to-end and love building reliable systems around creative and editorial work, this is your chance to own something meaningful at a fast-moving company.
You will own the full operational backbone of the podcast — from publishing and platform management to guest coordination, logistics, and analytics.
This is a 3-month contract position with the option to extend. The role is flexible/remote with occasional in-person support preferred for Bay Area-based candidates.
What You Will Do
- Own end-to-end episode publishing workflows across Substack and all major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other distributors
- Upload episodes, manage metadata, write show notes, and keep podcast pages current and well-maintained
- Clean up, format, and publish transcripts for each episode
- Upload and organize written assets tied to episodes
- Pull and summarize platform analytics on a recurring cadence to surface key insights for the team
- Coordinate guest logistics including swag, microphone shipping, and post-episode follow-up communications
- Route relevant partnership or business opportunities that surface post-episode to the right internal owners
- Support in-person recording logistics including studio/venue coordination, production setup, and cameraman coordination as needed
- Help coordinate follow-on content extensions from podcast episodes, such as articles or repurposed content
What You Will Bring
- Proven, hands-on experience managing podcast operations end-to-end — you've owned this workflow before, not just supported it
- Direct familiarity with Substack, Spotify for Podcasters, and Apple Podcasts Connect
- Experience with transcript editing tools (Descript, Otter, or similar)
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple workflows without dropping the ball
- Excellent async communication — you proactively keep stakeholders in the loop
- Comfort with light logistics coordination: shipping, vendor scheduling, and guest follow-up
- A self-starter mindset — you can operate independently in a fast-moving environment with minimal hand-holding
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area preferred, with availability for occasional in-person support
The target compensation for this role is $4,000 - $7,000 USD per month on a project basis, scoped at approximately 20–30 hours per week. The listed range reflects Bay Area-based candidates and may vary depending on location and experience.
