Podcast Coordinator

Audio is one of the most powerful ways we connect with students. As the Podcast Coordinator, you are the producer behind the voices of our scholars.

You aren’t just uploading files; you are managing the entire lifecycle of our audio content. From scheduling the recording with a busy scholar to hitting “publish” on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, you ensure that our listeners get high-quality, beneficial content on a reliable schedule.

What You’ll Do:

1. Manage the Airwaves (Coordination)

• Own the podcast publishing calendar. You ensure that episodes are planned, recorded, and released on time, every time
• Coordinate directly with resident scholars and guest speakers to schedule recording sessions. You handle the logistics so they can focus on the knowledge
• Serve as the bridge between the Content, Media, and Scholar teams

2. Ensure Quality & Consistency

• Act as the final quality check. You listen to episodes before they go live to ensure they meet our audio standards and editorial guidelines
• Verify that all metadata (titles, descriptions, show notes) is accurate, engaging, and SEO-friendly
• Ensure the content aligns with SeekersGuidance’s mission and Islamic ethos

3. Technical Execution

• Oversee the post-production process. Whether you are doing light editing or managing an editor, you ensure the final product sounds crisp
• Manage the distribution pipeline. You are responsible for uploading episodes to hosting platforms and ensuring they syndicate correctly to Apple, Spotify, and Google

4. Drive Growth

• Stay on top of podcasting trends. You identify new opportunities to grow our audience and improve the listener experience
• Monitor download stats and listener feedback to see what is working and what needs adjustment

Key Performance Indicators (How You Win):

• Consistency: 100% adherence to the release schedule (no missed deadlines)
• Quality: Zero episodes published with audio defects or incorrect metadata
• Scholar Satisfaction: Seamless booking and recording experiences for our guest speakers
• Growth: Month-over-month increase in unique downloads and subscribers

Who You Are:

• Bilingual: You are fluent in both English and Arabic (written and verbal). You can comfortably coordinate with scholars and understand Arabic terminology within the content
• Audio-Savvy: You know your way around audio editing software (Audacity, Adobe Audition, etc.) and understand RSS feeds and hosting platforms
• Highly Organized: You can manage multiple show schedules simultaneously without getting flustered
• A Fan of the Medium: You listen to podcasts and understand what makes a “good” episode
• Mission-Driven: You are passionate about spreading Islamic scholarship and understand the weight of the content we produce
