JOB OVERVIEW

Terry Knickerbocker Studio is one of New York City's most respected actor training programs, based in Industry City, Brooklyn. Terry Knickerbocker has spent over two decades coaching A-list actors privately — including Sam Rockwell, Daniel Craig, Austin Butler, Emmy Rossum, and Sacha Baron Cohen — and runs a full conservatory program.

Terry is now building a podcast outreach initiative to grow his national profile, support studio enrollment, and lay the groundwork for a book. We've built a custom CRM tool, loaded 50 target podcast shows, and set up AI-assisted email drafting. We're looking for one organized, detail-oriented person to run it.

This is a systems role, not a creative role. You are not writing from scratch. You are researching shows, finding contact information, loading email sequences, tracking results, and keeping the pipeline moving.

Roles/Responsibilities

Pipeline Research
-Use CastFox (provided) to find new podcast shows actively publishing in 2025–2026 that are a strong audience fit for Terry
-Find direct contact emails for each show. Actual email addresses for the host or booking producer.
-Add 5–10 new shows per week to the CRM with all fields completed: show name, host, contact email, audience size, fit notes
-Tag each show Lane A (dream show) or Lane B (solid mid-tier fit) based on a simple rubric we'll provide

Outreach Execution
-Load approved Lane B shows into GMass (provided) and run the 4-touch automated sequence
-Monitor the GMass dashboard daily — flag any replies immediately, pause sequences for shows that respond
-Draft Lane A pitches — submit to Terry for review before sending (send Lane A emails only after Terry approves)

Pipeline Management
-Update show statuses in the CRM as outreach progresses (from 'New' all the way to 'Booked')
-Flag any booking confirmations immediately — Terry should know same day
-Keep the pipeline moving: nothing should sit in "contacted" past its follow-up window without action

Weekly Reporting
-Every Friday: a simple 5-line report — pitches sent, responses received, new shows added, anything booked, anything notable
-Monthly: a one-page summary with running totals and response rate trends

You Are:
Organized and systematic
A strong researcher
Reliable and async-friendly — you deliver on schedule without needing daily check-ins
Comfortable learning new tools quickly — CastFox, GMass, and Google Sheets
Genuinely curious about the content — you don't need to be an actor, but understanding who Terry is and why these shows matter will make your research sharper
A clear communicator in professional written English

You Are Not:
Someone who needs daily direction
Someone who sends emails without approval
Someone who optimizes for volume over quality — We'd rather send fewer, higher quality emails.

Independent Contractor Role
This is a paid, output-based contractor engagement. Rate, hours, and scope are confirmed in writing before anything starts. Payment is made via Wise, in USD.

Tools Provided (all covered by TKS — nothing to purchase or subscribe to)
Google Sheets — shared pipeline/CRM
CastFox — podcast research, audience data, contact finding
GMass — Lane B automated email sequences and tracking
Google Workspace — reports, shared tracking, communication

How to Apply
Apply through onlinejobs.ph, or send a short email to ---------- it under 200 words. Include:

Your available hours per week
Your hourly rate (USD) and minimum weekly hours
One example of research or outreach work you've done before — doesn't need to be podcast-specific
Answer this question: "Find one podcast not called The Tim Ferriss Show that you think would be a strong fit for an acting coach who has worked with A-list Hollywood actors. Tell me why in 2 sentences." This should only take a couple of minutes.

We respond to every application that includes the question's answer. We do not respond to applications that skip it.

The Test Project
-We run a paid test before any longer engagement. If your application stands out, we'll send you a short research brief (est. 2–3 hours) to complete within 48 hours, paid at your quoted hourly rate. If the test is strong, we move to a 30-day contract. Rate, hours, and scope confirmed in writing before anything starts.
