  • Support cross-promotion across platforms (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Apple/Spotify, email newsletters).
  • Track performance metrics (downloads, views, engagement, website traffic) and optimize content strategy accordingly.
  • Stay current on data center, AI, infrastructure, leadership, and national security trends to inform content.

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
  • Project management and organizational skills (ability to juggle multiple episodes and deadlines).
  • Knowledge: Familiarity with data centers, AI infrastructure, veteran/military topics, or B2B tech/industrial media is a big plus.
