About the Project
I run an English-language YouTube interview channel featuring long-form, in-depth conversations with interesting and influential people (entrepreneurs, creators, investors, thinkers, etc.). I’m looking for a proactive, creative Guest Manager who can help me secure great guests and grow the show.
Key Responsibilities
Research & identify potential guests
Find relevant and exciting profiles for upcoming episodes (founders, experts, creators, public figures, etc.)
Keep a running list / pipeline of potential guests aligned with the show’s themes
Outreach & communication
Craft and send personalised, compelling outreach messages (email, LinkedIn, Instagram, agents, PRs, assistants)
Follow up professionally and persistently until we get a clear yes/no
Represent the show in a confident, friendly, professional way
Ideas & co-creation
Suggest new guest ideas and angles for episodes
Brainstorm together which guests would fit specific topics or storylines
Help prioritise who we should go after first
Coordination
Schedule interviews (time zones, availability, formats – in-person/online)
Make sure guests have all the necessary information before the recording
Keep everything organised in a simple tracking system (Notion/Google Sheets)
Requirements
Strong English – ideally native speaker or C1 level
Excellent written communication skills: you know how to write short, sharp, engaging outreach messages
Experience in at least one of the following:
PR, comms, influencer marketing, sales, or similar outreach-heavy role
Naturally persistent: you know how to follow up without being annoying
High level of emotional intelligence – you can “feel” how to approach different types of people
Organised and reliable: you can keep track of multiple conversations and follow-ups
What I’m Looking For in a Person
Creative – finds non-obvious ways to reach people
Resourceful – doesn’t give up after “no response”, tries alternative angles and contacts
Idea-driven – not just executing, but also bringing their own suggestions on who we should invite
Goal-oriented – if I say “I want THIS guest”, you treat it as a mission and do everything possible to get through to them
