About The Role

Are you pretty sure you’re going to law school but want to spend a year or two in the real world? Do you have incredible attention to detail and enjoy manicuring Excel sheets in your spare time? Do you consider yourself politically homeless these days? Great!

Advisory Opinions – hosted by Sarah Isgur with every-episode guest David French – is hiring an early-career Program Coordinator to help turn great conversations into crisp, useful products for listeners and readers.

You’ll help shape every episode and extend its reach across our growing Dispatch Law portfolio – including SCOTUSblog, live events, newsletters, and new podcast collaborations.

This role sits at the intersection of editorial storytelling, production logistics, and project management. You’ll start by building a twice-weekly newsletter and supporting AO’s production – and grow into managing special projects, cross-show collaborations, and live programming across Dispatch Law.

What You’ll Do

Newsletter production & coordination (2x/week): Draft 300-500 word episode summaries, pull quotes, links, case citations, timestamps, and “Why it matters” bullets. Build and send via our CMS/email platform
Research & prep: Create briefs for hosts (case backgrounds, primary sources, past coverage, guest bios) and propose smart follow-ups
Guest & calendar logistics: Outreach, scheduling across time zones, confirmations, and day-of coordination
Data hygiene: Keep episode metadata, transcripts, and archives accurate and searchable; track newsletter and episode metrics
Events & live programming: Support and eventually lead coordination for live shows, summits, and partner events (travel, vendors, run-of-show, etc.)
Cross-show collaborations: Assist with planning and coordination for affiliated podcasts
Special projects: Help produce live oral argument coverage days, newsletter packages, and cross-vertical campaigns
Editorial operations: Build systems to keep Dispatch Law programming organized – tracking calendars, guests, sponsorship deliverables, and performance metrics
Audience development: Collaborate with marketing and social teams to expand reach through clips, transcripts, and newsletter growth

You might be a fit if you have

1-3 years’ experience in media, law, politics, research, or operations (internships count)
Exceptional attention to detail
Strong writing voice for a smart, legally curious audience; ability to summarize dense material quickly and accurately
Calm, proactive project management in a fast, remote environment
Comfort engaging diverse viewpoints and stakeholders
Interest in law, courts, and the intersection of politics and legal culture
