The Role

We're looking for a Podcast Production Virtual Assistant who will own the end-to-end publishing pipeline for our client, so every episode ships on time, correctly presented, properly filed, promoted, and tracked. You'll work directly with the client's Director, taking full ownership of production administration that currently sits on the founders' plates.

Our client is a small, founder-led podcast production studio based in Perth, Australia. They produce podcasts for client shows across YouTube, Spotify, and other audio platforms, and run a physical studio where guests come in for recordings and tours.

This is a hands-on, checklist-driven environment with no team layer between you and the Director. You'll be expected to work unsupervised, raise issues early, and follow through without needing to be chased.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce and publish shorts and clips, each linked to its source episode and released the day after the main video
• Write and format show notes, titles, descriptions and tags, and upload thumbnails
• Add chapters to YouTube and Spotify episodes and include them in show notes
• Generate and clean up episode transcripts
• Confirm all editor files are uploaded before an episode enters the publishing queue
• Check every editor deliverable against the publishing checklist before it goes live, and return anything that fails
• Save, organise and back up all files following the client's folder structure and naming conventions
• Build and maintain the client's asset library from editor assets, generated content, and B-roll footage
• Keep client and project progress current in ClickUp, and follow up editors and team members on outstanding work
• Write, format and schedule blog posts in WordPress
• Optimise blog posts for search: meta descriptions, internal links, image alt text
• Complete keyword research for episode titles, tags and descriptions
• Schedule marketing and social content across client channels
• Repurpose episodes into an email newsletter
• Source B-roll, stock images and generated animation using episode transcripts to locate matching footage
• Design quote cards, carousels and episode graphics in Canva
