Podcast QA Specialist

We’re seeking a detail-obsessed Podcast QA Specialist to be the final checkpoint before our episodes go live. You’ll ensure every podcast is polished, seamless, and ready for publication — acting as the last line of defense for audio and video quality.

What You’ll Do:

• Review multiple edited versions of podcast episodes (audio & video)
• Identify and flag technical issues such as:
• Harsh cuts or jump edits
• Audio gating issues, distortion, clipping, or unnatural silence
• Sync problems between audio and video
• Lighting, color, or visual inconsistencies
• Track and document all errors clearly across versions
• Provide structured, time-stamped feedback for editors
• Compare iterations to ensure corrections are implemented
• Ensure only near-final, clean versions move to final review

Key Traits:

• Maniacal attention to detail
• Highly focused and patient for long-form content review
• Process-driven and consistent
• Clear communicator — flagging issues without rewriting content

Success Looks Like:

• Catching 95%+ of technical/audio/visual issues before final review
• Reducing multiple review rounds
• Delivering clean, well-documented feedback that speeds up publishing

• Exceptional attention to detail (borderline obsessive in the best way)
• Strong English skills (spoken & written)
• Experience reviewing audio/video content (podcasts, YouTube, media production, etc.)
• Ability to spot subtle inconsistencies in sound, visuals, and pacing
• Organized approach to tracking feedback across versions
• Comfortable working independently and upholding high standards

Nice to Have:

• Background in video editing, audio engineering, or post-production
• Familiarity with tools like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Descript, etc.
• Experience with content teams or production
