Content Producer / Podcast Manager / Audio & Video Editor

## About Boost

Boost is building an ecosystem of tools and training for independent restaurants, coffee shops, and foodservice operators.

Boost Back Office is already launched. It helps restaurant owners better understand and manage the operational numbers behind their business, including inventory, COGS, recipe costing, menu profitability, ordering, and related back-office workflows.

Boost Academy is launching soon. It will provide practical, framework-based training for restaurant owners and operators, helping them understand their numbers, improve profitability, and run stronger businesses. Academy will also serve as the top of the funnel for Boost Back Office and, eventually, Boost Front Office.

We are looking for a producer/editor/podcast manager who can help turn raw founder-led expertise into polished, useful, publishable content across Academy, social media, YouTube, podcast platforms, and other channels.

## Role Overview

We are hiring a Content Producer / Podcast Manager / Audio & Video Editor to edit and produce content for Boost Academy (course lessons), social media, YouTube, podcast-style content, interviews.

The founder will provide the core expertise, frameworks, interviews, screen recordings, and raw audio/video. Your job is to turn that raw material into professional, clear, engaging content that can be published across multiple platforms.

This role is part video editor, part content producer, part podcast manager, and part publishing operator. You do not need to own the whole growth strategy, but you do need to be organized, self-directed, detail-oriented, and able to move content from raw recording to finished asset without needing to be micromanaged.

You will also help manage the podcast/interview workflow, including coordinating guests, preparing episodes for publishing, producing audio and video versions, and distributing public episodes to all relevant podcast and content platforms.

## Initial Priorities

In the first 30 days, I would expect you to help with:

* Creating a simple production workflow
* Creating editing/export templates for recurring content types
* Editing initial Academy lessons
* Editing one long-form founder-led or interview-style video
* Creating short-form clips from that content

* Creating a system for guest outreach, booking, episode tracking, and publishing
* Identifying any required tools, access, or missing assets

## Time and Work Expectations

I care more about effective output than inflated hours.

That said, any hours billed to Boost must be hours actively worked for Boost. I do not want overlapping billing, double-booked work, or a situation where someone says they are working eight hours for Boost while actually splitting that same block of time across multiple clients or jobs.

I would rather pay more for fewer honest, focused hours than pay for a larger block of time that is not actually dedicated to this business.

Please be clear about your real availability, preferred working arrangement, and how many focused hours per week you can reliably commit.

## To Apply

Please do not send a generic cover letter. Instead, answer the questions below.

1. Describe your biggest win when it comes to producing, editing, repurposing, or managing content. Include what the raw material looked like, what you created from it, and the result.

2. Describe your biggest win when it comes to podcast, interview, YouTube, or long-form content production. Include your role in booking, producing, publishing, or promoting the content.

3. Explain what you would do in week one to get started quickly with Boost. Be specific. I am looking for how you organize, prioritize, and create ---------- ntum.

4. Explain what resources you would need to do this job that you do not have yet. This should not be a wish list. I only want the true requirements: access, tools, files, brand assets, software, information, or people you would need to perform well.

5. Share examples of long-form videos, short-form clips, course lessons, podcast/interview edits, ads, or social content you have produced.

6. Pick one example from your portfolio and explain your role in it. What did you receive, what did you change, and what decisions did you make?

7. If you have managed a podcast or interview show before, explain the workflow you used for guest booking, recording, editing, publishing, and promotion.

8. What does your ideal editing/production workflow look like from raw recording to final published asset?

9. How do you organize files, revisions, exports, episode assets, guest information, and content versions?

10. How would you promote a public podcast/interview episode after it is published?

11. How many focused hours per week can you realistically commit to Boost, and how do you handle time tracking or work logs?

12. Are you currently working with other clients or employers? If so, explain how you avoid overlapping work time and ensure billable hours are dedicated to the client being billed.

13. What kinds of content are you best at producing, and what kinds are outside your strengths?

Applications that show strong examples, clear ownership, reliable production habits, and the ability to manage content from idea to publication will be prioritized.
