A note from the founder

A podcast is not an audio file. It is a relationship engine.

The Wilkinson Firm is positioned to host the conversations the workforce industry is not having. CMHCs, hotels, federal contractors, MBE founders, behavioral health operators, hospitality strategy executives - the buyer set we serve is the guest set we want on air.

We need a producer who can run the full operation: guest sourcing, prep briefs, recording coordination, audio polish, episode publishing, distribution, and show-notes craft.

This is a performance role with a clear climb. Lower starter rates. Real upside as the show scales.

What you would do

• Source and book guests aligned with TWF's three divisions (HR Advisory, PHES, GovCon)
• Pre-interview prep briefs for the founder before each recording
• Coordinate recording logistics, post-production, audio polish
• Write show notes, episode descriptions, time-stamped chapters
• Manage publishing across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and embedded distribution
• Coordinate clipping (work alongside Podcast Clipper)
• Track downloads, retention, sponsorship pipeline

Compensation - Climbing Ladder

Stage 1 (first 90 days, mission-aligned starter rate):

• $100 per published episode
• $1 per 100 downloads above 250 baseline

Stage 2 (after 10 published episodes + sustained download growth):

• $200 per published episode
• $1 per 100 downloads above 250
• Sponsorship attribution % when sponsors close

Stage 3 (after 25 episodes + scale gate):

• $400 per published episode
• $1 per 100 downloads
• 10% of sponsorship revenue
• Senior advisor track opens

Who we want

• 2-5 years producing a B2B or industry podcast
• Familiar with Riverside, Descript, Squadcast, or equivalent
• Strong guest-sourcing instinct, network in our verticals a plus
• Clean audio editing capability
• Distribution-savvy across major platforms
• Writing fluency for show notes and descriptions

Bonus: Existing relationships with workforce, behavioral health, hospitality, or government services thought leaders.

Who we are not for

• Producers who only handle technical operations (we need creative + strategic too)
• Anyone who has never published a podcast that grew measurably
• Generalist content marketers without podcast-specific experience
