🎙 Podcast Growth Specialist (Part-Time / Contract)

Remote | Flexible Hours

We’re looking for a content-savvy, growth-minded Podcast Growth Specialist to help us take our show viral, grow our listener base, and position us for monetization across platforms. This role is all about strategic visibility — turning great content into explosive audience growth on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, while driving toward long-term monetization and brand partnerships.

Important note: We already have a podcast producer and editor — your focus will be purely on growth, engagement, visibility, and monetization strategy.

  • Write SEO-optimized captions, hashtags, and CTAs that drive shares, clicks, and subscriptions
  • Strategically tap into trending audio, formats, and conversations to boost discoverability and virality
  • Develop and execute a content-led growth roadmap with clear KPIs
  • Increase visibility and audience size with the long-term goal of sponsorships, affiliate revenue, and platform monetization (YouTube, TikTok Creator Fund, etc.)
  • Implement backlinking, tagging, and cross-platform optimization strategies to improve podcast SEO and traffic
  • Monitor performance metrics and continuously test new formats for higher engagement and reach
  • Collaborate with the producer to time episode clips with launches, themes, and guest features with high viral/monetization potential

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Have grown a podcast, creator brand, or media account using content strategy and short-form video
  • Have helped creators go viral and convert growth into monetization (sponsors, affiliate links, creator funds, etc.)
  • Know what it takes to reach thresholds for monetization on TikTok and YouTube
  • Are confident editing for impact using CapCut, Descript, Canva, or similar
  • Are skilled in SEO, platform analytics, and creating content loops that drive views and subscriptions
  • Are organized, creative, proactive, and hungry to make a show blow up

Bonus: Experience building influencer campaigns or helping creators land brand deals
