Role Description

• Professionally engineer and edit multi-track episodes, including noise reduction, breath reduction, de-essing, compression, removing filler words, stumbles, false starts, and requested edits. We are not a chop shop; we spend considerable time and attention ensuring our clients receive the best quality audio.
• Select appropriate places in episodes for ads (pre, post, mid)
• Work closely with producers and project managers to ensure accuracy across every project
• Help select soundtracks for intros/outros/trailers and mix soundtracks with voiceover.
• Consistently documenting and refining our processes and procedures
• Train new employees and create training videos to help with employee onboarding.
• Solve client audio problems in a fast, effective manner that makes the client think, “damn, that was good.”
• Think on the client’s behalf – you must be strategic and understand the larger picture; you can’t get caught in the weeds.
• Understand clients’ podcasts and their history with LawPods to have a precise understanding of each client’s needs and what their show should look and sound like.

This role requires you to study the industry continuously, use the available resources, and study our existing work for clients to develop a clear understanding of how we work. This requires initiative. When you have downtime, use that time to learn about everything we do and how we do it. Ask as many questions as needed during regular training.
