Rain Delay Media • New York, NY

11h • $60 - $80 • Onsite

About The Position

Rain Delay is seeking a Studio Producer for The Schultz Report, a weekly NFL and sports podcast hosted by Jordan Schultz and featuring Super Bowl champion Keyshawn Johnson. This role is based at Jordan Schultz's studio in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The Studio Producer will be responsible for the on-site production and technical operations, including setting up and running recordings, troubleshooting technical issues, keeping shoots on schedule, and acting as a trusted partner to the host. This position is designed to grow with the show's expanding studio footprint, with a potential path to managing a state-of-the-art studio facility.

Requirements

• 3+ years running live or recorded studio/broadcast productions (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• Based within reliable commuting distance of Ridgefield, CT, and available on-site Mondays and Thursdays, plus on-call.
• Hands-on proficiency with studio production tools — cameras (mirrorless/cinema), audio interfaces and mics, lighting, capture cards, multi-cam switchers (ATEM/Blackmagic, vMix, or OBS), Stream Deck/automation, and remote-recording platforms (Riverside or similar) — with the confidence to troubleshoot live.
• Networking/IT basics — IP, routers/switches, and bandwidth troubleshooting for streaming and remote recording.
• Experience building, maintaining, or managing a studio or production space.
• Able to lift and move production equipment.
• Strong photography/videography skills — able to capture thumbnail-quality stills and compelling behind-the-scenes content on set.
• Diligent, detail-obsessed note-taker who captures important details in real time and follows through reliably.
• Dependable, professional, and comfortable working directly with on-camera talent.
• Calm, resourceful problem-solver who can fix things in the moment and keep a shoot on track.
• Strong organizational and communication skills; self-directed in a small-team environment.
• Genuine interest in sports media, podcasts, and content production.
• Strong interest in the NFL and sports media.

Responsibilities

• Be on-site at the Ridgefield, CT studio every Monday and Thursday (mornings), and available for additional on-call recordings and appearances as the schedule requires.
• Set up, operate, and break down the remote studio recording kit before and after each session.
• Set up and run remote guest recordings and call-ins (e.g., Riverside), ensuring clean audio/video capture for remote participants.
• Run a pre-show checklist and QC pass, manage firmware/software updates, cabling, and signal integrity so every recording starts on time and runs clean.
• Maintain gear inventory, spares, and consumables; track needs and flag equipment upgrades or additions.
• Maintain the studio's setup/shutdown documentation and standard workflows, keeping the system repeatable and transferable.
• Ensure raw files are properly recorded, labeled, backed up, and routed to the editing team after each session.
• Help steward the studio as its anchor on-site operator — keeping the space organized, functional, and recording-ready.
• Partner with our technical build partner on upgrades and the future studio buildout, contributing to scoping and setup.
• Grow into running live and recorded sessions end to end — multi-camera operation and switching, audio routing and levels, lighting, and live streaming.
• Grow into running studio operations end to end — managing the facility, its systems, scheduling, vendors, budget, and any additional crew as the studio scales.
• Capture high-quality photo and video on set — thumbnail-grade portraits of the host and behind-the-scenes content.
• Build a trusted, dependable, professional relationship with the host over time, becoming a reliable on-site point of contact.
• Serve as the on-set memory — actively capture the host’s in-the-moment notes, asks, and off-hand comments, and reliably relay and follow up so nothing important slips through.
• Grow into a talent-producer role — anticipating needs, smoothing the recording experience, and strengthening the day-to-day partnership.

Benefits

• All benefits mandated by applicable state law, in all instances according to the term and conditions of applicable law and plan documents as well as any applicable Company policy.
