Title: Podcast Guest Booker
Time: Full-Time
Location: Remote (to eventually transition to in-office in NYC)
Compensation: $80,000 to $120,000/year USD + performance bonuses
The Company
Our client runs a top-tier business podcast on a mission to become the best in the world. They profile exceptional founders and tell the stories behind their companies.

Role Overview
This is not a traditional administrative role. As the Guest Booker, your singular focus and KPI is getting relevant founders and high-profile operators into the chair. Your job is to build target lists, own end-to-end outreach, and find creative, relentless ways to get hard-to-reach people to say yes. Cold outreach does not scare you, and a gatekeeper's rejection is simply your starting position.
Key Responsibilities
• Build the target list of founders and operators worth featuring, and own outreach to them end-to-end including the entry point, pitch, follow-up, and close.
• Find a way in when there is no obvious path, navigating gatekeepers and turning rejections into opportunities.
• Track what target guests are doing such as launches, raises, press, and conference appearances to time your outreach for maximum impact.
• Deploy creative, memorable, and unconventional outreach methods to secure replies from high-profile individuals.
• Manage your own outreach pipeline and reporting systems to ensure zero drop-off in communication.
Qualifications
• Ideally possesses direct guest booking experience for TV, news, media, or podcasts.
• Background in Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, sales development (SDR), media, or business environments.
• Relentlessly resourceful and fully self-managing with a proven ability to deliver results independently.
• Dynamic, social, and genuinely energized by the chase of pitching and connecting with hard-to-reach individuals.
• Confident problem solver with the certainty that you will do whatever it takes to achieve the desired outcome.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
