Podcast & Media Growth VA (with Guest Outreach)

About the Podcast:

We are a growing podcast and media platform in the disability and community services sector. Our mission is to share valuable stories and insights while expanding our reach across multiple platforms.

We are looking for a skilled and proactive Virtual Assistant who understands both content marketing and media production. This role is not just about editing — it’s about growth, creativity, and outreach. You’ll play a key role in editing content, repurposing it across multiple social media channels, and reaching out to potential podcast guests.

If you thrive on autonomy, know how to “hack media” for growth, and are confident in reaching out to professionals, we’d love to work with you.

Role Overview:

This is a part-time role (8 hrs per week to start), with the opportunity to grow into more hours as our content production scales.

Your role will be a blend of:
- Media production: editing and repurposing podcast/video content.
- Marketing: turning one episode into multi-channel content.
- Outreach: contacting potential guests via LinkedIn, email, or phone.

We will have a weekly 30-minute alignment meeting, and you’ll then work independently to deliver the week’s tasks. Payment will be made weekly once agreed deliverables are completed.

Key Responsibilities:

- Content Editing & Production:
- Edit long-form podcast videos.
- Cut 4–6 short-form clips (for YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok).
- Export audio-only versions for podcast platforms.
- Design 2 YouTube thumbnails per video for testing.
- Create 5 LinkedIn posts per week (mix of text, carousels, and video snippets).
- Draft an email newsletter (episode recaps or guest highlights).
- Write 1–2 blog posts based on transcripts or video snippets.
- Format content consistently across platforms.
- Research and contact at least 5 potential interview guests each week (via LinkedIn, email, or phone - scripts/templates provided).
- Track responses and coordinate scheduling.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

- Experienced in video and audio editing.
- Strong design eye for thumbnails and social media graphics.
- Confident communicator, comfortable with guest outreach.
- Skilled in repurposing content across platforms (LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, email).
- Understands audience growth and media marketing hacks.
- Highly autonomous — able to deliver without micromanagement.
- Proficient with AI tools to ensure quick repurposing of video scripts into other forms of content.

Salary & Hours:

- Rate: $14 AUD per hour.
- Hours: 8 hours per week (trial phase for first month).
- Payment end of each week upon task completion.

Potential to increase to 15–20 hours/week as content output grows.
