About The Position

As our Podcast Recording Engineer & Editor, you will own the weekly audio post-production pipeline for the BibleProject Podcast—from recording intake through final review handoff. You will spend most of your time editing and restoring long-form spoken-word conversations inside Pro Tools, using iZotope RX to solve real-world audio problems and delivering episodes that feel natural, transparent, and emotionally intact. To thrive here, you need professional-level Pro Tools fluency—not occasional familiarity—along with deep dialogue editing instincts drawn from broadcast, radio, film, post-production, documentary, or a comparable environment. You should be comfortable working independently inside a structured weekly cadence and an established AAF-to-Pro Tools workflow. In all your work, you will bring your skills and experience to help further our mission of helping people experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. This is a part-time role with no guarantee of becoming a full-time role. It is a great fit if you genuinely want consistent, meaningful part-time production work.

Requirements

3+ years of professional Pro Tools experience as a primary dialogue-editing environment, with the ability to build, organize, and troubleshoot sessions independently.
3+ years editing long-form, multi-speaker audio (45+ min) in at least one of the following: broadcast, radio, podcast, documentary, or film post-production.
Proficient in iZotope RX 9 or later, including Dialogue De-noise, De-hum, De-clip, De-mouth, Spectral Repair, and Ambience Match.
Able to execute AAF export/import, media relinking, and session handoff between Descript and Pro Tools without supervision.
Familiar with podcast loudness standards (-16 LUFS stereo / -19 LUFS mono) and able to deliver mix-ready files that meet those targets consistently.
Able to maintain consistent output within a recurring weekly deadline with limited flexibility.
Clear communicator who works well asynchronously and handles biblical and theological content with care.

Responsibilities

Communicate proactively about episode status, blockers, restoration concerns, AAF/session issues, and handoff timing so the team can plan around deadlines.
Protect the established level of audio quality and advocate for workflow improvements that make weekly podcast production more sustainable.
Work within systems with consistency and reliability, flagging issues rather than improvising around them.
Edit and clean long-form podcast conversations with a high level of transparency—preserving natural speech, pacing, tone, breath, room tone, and intent.
Apply audio processing and restoration tools to repair real-world problems and achieve BibleProject's established podcast sound.
Build episode elements: main conversation body, intro/outro voiceovers, music breaks, and additional sound design.
Conduct recording sessions—microphone setup, gain staging, routing, headphone monitoring, and level monitoring.
Manage media files, AAF import/export, session structure, and file organization across Descript, Pro Tools, and Dropbox—maintaining the established system from intake through handoff.
Perform difficult audio repairs cleanly and confidently—including light pacing edits and transcript-aligned assembly—while preserving the speakers’ rhythm and conversational flow.
Produce mix-ready, loudness-compliant deliverables that meet broadcast and podcast standards.
