We're partnering with an innovative UK-based facilities management business that is bringing its podcast production completely in-house. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Content Producer who thrives on ownership, enjoys working with senior business leaders, and is passionate about creating engaging long-form content.

As the owner of the company's flagship podcast, you'll manage the entire production process—from guest sourcing and recording through publishing and performance reporting. You'll work with AI-powered production tools, manage a freelance editor, and collaborate closely with the marketing team to ensure every episode is delivered on time, on brand, and to a consistently high standard.

Company Description

Our client is an established UK facilities management company committed to delivering industry-leading services while building its reputation as a thought leader through high-quality digital content.
