About the Role

We are looking for a confident, articulate female Podcast Host to lead short, structured podcast-style interviews with founders, executives, and senior decision-makers.

This is not a content creator role and not a sales closing role.

Your responsibility is to host intelligent, professional conversations, follow a proven interview framework, build rapport quickly, lightly qualify guests, and transition suitable prospects into a next-step strategy or discovery conversation.

You will host 2–3 short interviews per day (15–20 minutes each). All scripts, frameworks, and training are provided.
Key Responsibilities

  • Host 2–3 podcast interviews daily with business leaders and executives

  • Create a warm, confident, and professional environment for each guest

  • Follow a structured interview framework while keeping conversations natural

  • Ask pre-defined qualification and insight-based questions (training provided)

  • Keep interviews tightly managed within 15–20 minutes

  • Confidently transition qualified guests into a next-step conversation

  • Send calendar confirmations and reminders to podcast guests

  • Join meetings at least 5 minutes early to prepare guests

  • Capture clear notes and insights from each interview

  • Ensure a smooth handover to the internal sales or strategy team

  • Maintain high standards of punctuality, consistency, and professionalism

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Female, with a warm, confident, professional on-camera presence

  • Based in Cape Town (non-negotiable)

  • Excellent spoken English (clear, calm, executive-level communication)

  • Comfortable speaking to senior executives and founders daily

  • Able to lead conversations with structure and authority

  • Naturally personable, engaging, and emotionally intelligent

  • Disciplined, reliable, and detail-oriented

  • Comfortable following scripts and frameworks precisely

  • Strong time management skills

  • Comfortable using Zoom/Google Meet, Calendly, and Google Docs

  • Background in client engagement, communications, PR, consulting, or customer-facing roles is a strong advantage

Working Hours

  • 4–5 hours per day (half day)

  • Fixed availability during scheduled call windows

  • Must be reliable for international time zones

  • Average workload: 2–3 interviews per day

Compensation & Growth

  • Base salary: R8,500 – R9,000 per month

  • Commission: 5% of first-month revenue from deals originating from podcast interviews

  • Performance reviews after 60–90 days

  • Clear pathway to:

    • Higher base pay

    • Increased responsibility

    • Potential full-time role
