Content and Podcast Intern

Job Description

About the Role
We are looking for a Content and Podcast Intern who will own the creation, production, and distribution of a domain-focused podcast and broader content program targeting SEC reporting and financial disclosure professionals in the United States. The real job is getting Finrep in front of the people who make disclosure decisions at public companies by actively networking, cold-outreaching, building relationships, and hosting substantive conversations with senior professionals. This role also extends into content strategy, community building, and multi-format content creation, operating at startup pace with high standards for domain credibility and shipping consistently.

What You’ll Do
• Network and build relationships with our target audience: SEC reporting leads, CAOs, CFOs, Big 4 disclosure specialists, legal counsel, investor relations leaders, and technical accounting professionals at public companies
• Identify, cold-reach out to, and book these professionals as podcast guests. Outreach volume and conversion are your responsibility
• Research each guest before recording: understand their company, their role, and what makes for a relevant conversation. Come prepared, not scripted
• Host episodes on camera and on mic. Drive conversations that are specific, domain-aware, and worth a senior professional’s time
• Manage end-to-end production: scheduling, recording, coordinating with editors, writing show notes, and distributing across LinkedIn and YouTube
• Repurpose podcast content into LinkedIn posts, short-form video clips, carousel graphics, and written summaries
• Write or co-write practitioner-grade articles, guides, and thought leadership pieces grounded in real filings, ASC guidance, and SEC comment letter data
• Maintain a content calendar aligned with the SEC filing cycle (quarterly close windows, earnings seasons, FASB effective dates)
• Actively build a network of SEC reporting and disclosure professionals around the podcast and Finrep’s brand
• Engage with practitioners on LinkedIn, industry groups, and professional forums. Not passively. You are the face of this content program in the US
• Identify recurring themes, questions, and pain points from community interactions to feed back into content planning and product development

You’re a Good Fit If You
• Are based in the United States with legal authorization to work
• Possess strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills: you will cold-reach out to CFOs, CAOs, Big 4 partners, and SEC reporting directors to book them as guests. You need to be comfortable initiating professional conversations, following up persistently, and building relationships with senior people
• Have genuine intellectual curiosity about financial markets, corporate governance, accounting standards, or regulatory systems. You do not need to be an expert today, but you need to be the kind of person who will develop domain fluency fast because you find this world interesting
• Demonstrate self-directed execution: you will work remotely with a small team across time zones. You need to manage your own outreach pipeline, guest calendar, production deadlines, and content schedule without being managed
• Are willing to be on camera and on mic as the host of the podcast
• Are comfortable with a startup pace: you are comfortable operating without detailed playbooks, figuring things out on the fly, and shipping consistently even when the process is still being built

Bonus Qualifications
• Background or coursework in accounting, finance, or business
• Prior experience producing a podcast, YouTube channel, or any regular content series, even a small personal one
• An existing network or community presence in finance, accounting, or the CPA/Big 4 ecosystem
• Familiarity with SEC filings, EDGAR, or the financial reporting lifecycle
• Experience with LinkedIn outreach or professional community building
• Any content creation portfolio: writing, video, audio, social media

Role Highlights & Compensation
• This is a paid internship. Compensation details are discussed during the interview process.
• Duration: 3-6 months, with the possibility of extension or conversion based on performance and mutual fit.
• Remote position. Flexible hours with some overlap required during US business hours for guest recordings and team coordination.
