• Manage the booking pipeline (tracking, follow-ups, scheduling)

What you bring:

• Ears to the ground on pop culture — musical artists, designers, painters, actors, authors, cultural voices
• Strong written communication and pitch-writing skills
• Organized and self-directed — we're a lean team
• Relentless, resourceful, and genuinely excited to pitch big names
• Genuine interest in the mission (arts, music, pop-culture + well-being / mental health)

What you get:

• Direct production credit on CIM episodes
• Access to our guest pipeline
• Mentorship from the founder, 15+ years at Interscope, Atlantic Records, The Tonight Show, and artist management, now also a practicing AMFT
• Real portfolio work with a nationally recognized podcast
• Strong reference and LinkedIn recommendation on successful project completion
• Possibility to convert to a paid role as grant funding lands

Project structure:

• 3-month commitment
• 2–3 hrs/week, flexible schedule
