About The Position

To own the full guest journey on Hot Smart Rich with Maggie Sellers Reum
From identifying and securing world-class talent to crafting the deeply researched, narratively and culturally rich briefs that make every conversation exceptional.
As Guest Producer, you'll bring both the strategic vision to know who belongs on this show and the editorial rigour to ensure Maggie walks into every recording ready to get into it.
We’re looking for guests who can talk about business and breakups, beauty and angel investing, TikTok trends and entrepreneurship, capital & gossip.
You'll manage the end-to-end pipeline for guest episodes: building relationships with talent and their representatives, coordinating logistics with precision, and producing research narratives that are accurate, detailed, and genuinely compelling to read.
This role demands a combination of creative instinct, production expertise and a personal investment in female ambition, not just a professional interest in it.

Requirements

• Significant experience in talent booking or guest management, with established confidence navigating relationships with agents, publicists, and high-profile individuals.
• Exceptional written communication skills, with a proven ability to produce long-form research narratives that are detailed, accurate, and genuinely compelling to read.
• A strong editorial mind, someone who gathers information and understands how to shape it into a story that serves the host and the audience.
• Highly organised and operationally sharp, with the ability to manage complex logistics, multiple priorities, and fast-moving timelines without dropping the detail.
• Deep cultural intelligence and a genuine, always-on awareness of global trends, thought leaders, cultural moments, entrepreneurs and pioneers, that create the conversations that matter to ambitious women who love HSR, want to own the room, build wealth, and still have fun doing it.
• A genuine obsession with female ambition culture; you live in this world, you understand the audience, and you are probably part of it yourself.
• An instinct for what's gossip-worthy as well as what's intellectually rich. You know that the best HSR moment is one where both exist at the same time.
• Fluency with AI and research tools, and a strategic understanding of how to use them to elevate quality and efficiency, not just save time.
• A clear understanding of what makes a podcast conversation exceptional and the experience to help engineer it from the ground up.

Responsibilities

• Guest Identification & Strategy: Proactively identify and pitch high-calibre guests who align with Hot Smart Rich's audience, brand, and editorial vision. Staying ahead of cultural moments, trends, and emerging voices. You'll look for guests who can bring the group chat to life: women and voices who give our audience something they can't get anywhere else, including the exclusive angle others don't have.
• Talent Outreach & Booking: Lead end-to-end guest acquisition, managing relationships with talent, agents, and publicists from first contact through to confirmed recording.
• Guest Logistics: Own all guest-facing logistics including scheduling, travel, accommodation, gifting, release forms, and on-the-day coordination. Ensure a seamless, premium experience.
• Editorial Research: Produce exceptionally detailed, multi-source research briefs that go beyond biography. This includes surfacing the narratives, tensions, exclusives, and untold angles that our audience actually want to know about. Find the gaps in a guest's story, not just the headlines.
• Narrative Craft: Transform complex research into compelling, well-structured briefs that are as enjoyable to read as they are useful. You understand that what we're building isn't a Q&A; it's a best-friends conversation about things that matter, and your research should show that.
• Pipeline Management: Maintain and update guest trackers, outreach pipelines, and booking documentation, keeping the wider team informed at every stage.
• Editorial Collaboration: Work closely with Maggie and the production team to ensure research, storylines, and episode direction are fully aligned ahead of every recording.
• AI & Process Integration: Leverage AI tools and research systems to improve the quality, depth, and efficiency of both the booking and research workflow.
• Cultural Intelligence: Stay consistently informed on global news, digital culture, and industry trends to ensure the guest roster and editorial angles remain sharp and relevant to Hot Smart Rich and its ambitious female audience who want to own the room, build wealth, and still have fun doing it.
