We are looking for an AI Automation Specialist to transform podcast production and content distribution through intelligent, scalable workflows.
Rather than manually editing episodes or creating individual posts, you will design systems that automate these processes using AI.
Your scope will cover long-form video and audio, trailers, short-form clips, subtitles, thumbnails, social media content, analytics, and more.
You will assess existing production processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement practical automation solutions.
Working directly with the podcast host, you will have considerable freedom to select tools and shape the technical approach.
Your work will help increase content output, improve efficiency, and reduce the time spent on repetitive production tasks.
This freelance opportunity is ideal for someone who combines technical automation expertise with a strong understanding of podcasting and digital content.

As an AI Automation Specialist, you will evaluate existing content workflows and build reliable systems that streamline podcast production and distribution. Your main responsibilities will include:

Reviewing existing podcast episodes, short-form videos, and social media content to identify opportunities for improvement.
Recommending AI-powered solutions to automate long-form editing, trailer creation, short-form clips, subtitles, thumbnails, social media posts, and performance reporting.
Designing and implementing end-to-end workflows that process video, audio, and text with minimal manual intervention.
Integrating AI tools, APIs, automation platforms, and custom scripts to create efficient production pipelines.
Testing and refining workflows using real podcast episodes to ensure consistent output quality.
Documenting and handing over completed systems so they can operate independently without ongoing support.
Monitoring results and measuring improvements through metrics such as views, watch time, and hours saved.
Staying informed about emerging AI tools and identifying opportunities to improve the overall content production process.
