Scope: 20 hours/wk

Location: Nashville, TN

Redeeming Babel is home to the highly popular Good Faith podcast, The After Party project, and other written, audio, and video content. We exist to help thoughtful, curious Christians make sense of a confusing world with hope, humility, and grace. 

We are actively seeking a skilled Production Assistant to join our dynamic team. This role primarily supports the Good Faith Podcast, hosted by Curtis Chang, and other social and digital content initiatives produced by Redeeming Babel.

Position Overview: 

The Production Assistant will play a critical role in ensuring the smooth production and delivery of podcast episodes, social media content, and other digital assets. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, creative, and experienced in podcast production workflows, guest pre-interviews, and managing content across platforms like YouTube Studio and Spotify for Creators.

This position is Nashville-based and requires a combination of occasional virtual meetings, remote work, and in-person collaboration in Franklin, Tennessee with Redeeming Babel’s Director of Content. Availability during U.S. Central Time business hours is preferred for team coordination. This part-time role is approximately 20 hours per week, and responsibilities may shift as necessary.

The pay range for the right candidate is between $20.00 and $25.00 hourly, based on previous experience and/or skills.

The Production Assistant will work closely—both remotely and in person—with Redeeming Babel’s Director of Content and the producer of the Good Faith podcast, DT Slouffman. A ten-time National Emmy Award winner and five-time International Television and Film Awards medalist, Slouffman has led teams at CNN, TIME, Sports Illustrated, and NBC Olympics. He now manages Redeeming Babel’s storycraft and digital content efforts.

* While creativity is important, the Production Assistant role is primarily focused on production management tasks. Candidates with an interest or background in faith-based or mission-driven media will receive primary consideration.
