ROLE MISSION
This role will take a 360-degree approach to identifying, researching, pitching, and producing world-class guests for The Diary Of A CEO. As Guest Producer, you will be responsible for ensuring every guest booked on the show has the potential to create a high-impact, culturally relevant, and deeply insightful conversation.
You will combine cultural awareness, editorial instinct, and data-driven research to identify emerging voices, influential thinkers, and high-profile guests who align with the themes and audience of The Diary Of A CEO. Alongside guest strategy, you will contribute to creative storytelling ideas that elevate episodes beyond traditional interviews, helping push the boundaries of what podcasting can be.
The ideal candidate will possess exceptional organisational and communication skills, the highest attention to detail, and a passion for delivering outstanding research informed by YouTube, audience behaviour, and digital trends. You will go the extra mile to deliver exceptional outcomes and thrive in a fast-paced environment where excellence and preparation are essential.
