Full Job Description

About PodLab Studios

PodLab Studios is a premium podcast, video, and content production studio serving businesses, creators, professionals, and media clients throughout Metro Detroit and beyond.

We operate out of a growing multi-room creative facility in Westland where we produce podcasts, video shoots, social content, livestreams, interviews, branded content, and events.

We are a small, fast-moving company, which means this is not a job where you sit in one lane all day.

You will learn how the entire studio operates, from the front desk to the camera setup to the client experience.

What this role actually is

This is an operations-first role with hands-on production support.

Your main responsibility is helping make sure the studio runs smoothly, clients are taken care of, rooms are ready, communication is handled, and the little things do not fall through the cracks.

You will also work directly around cameras, lighting, microphones, podcast equipment, editing, social content, and live production.

Roughly 60% studio operations and administration

You may be:

Answering studio calls, emails, inquiries, and messages
Booking and confirming sessions
Managing and updating the studio calendar
Greeting clients and helping them get comfortable
Keeping client paperwork, booking details, invoices, and follow-ups organized
Preparing rooms before sessions
Resetting rooms after sessions
Keeping the studio clean, stocked, organized, and client-ready
Ordering supplies and tracking what the studio needs
Helping keep projects and client information organized
Following up on tasks so things do not get forgotten
Helping the owner stay organized and focused on higher-level work

Roughly 40% production and creative support

Depending on the day, you may also:

Set up cameras, lights, microphones, monitors, and production gear
Help build, move, or reset podcast and video sets
Run a locked camera during a shoot
Monitor basic equipment during recording sessions
Help prepare podcast rooms before clients arrive
Assist during livestreams, interviews, video shoots, and events
Organize footage and project files
Pull basic social clips from recorded content
Make simple edits in Premiere, Resolve, CapCut, or similar software
Capture behind-the-scenes content
Help keep PodLab's social channels active

You do not need to know everything about production on day one.

You do need to be curious, dependable, coachable, and able to learn quickly.

What a real day may look like

You might start the day by walking through the studio and making sure every room looks right.

Then you check the day's bookings, answer overnight emails, confirm a client appointment, and make sure their room is prepared.

Next, you help set up microphones, lights, chairs, and cameras for a podcast session.

When the client arrives, you greet them, help them get settled, and assist with getting the production rolling.

Between sessions, you may answer emails, update the calendar, organize files, cut a few short clips from yesterday's shoot, or post a behind-the-scenes video.

At the end of a session, you help strike the set, reset the room, coil cables, clean up, and prepare for the next client.

Some days are mostly operations.

Some days are production-heavy.

Some days involve both.

You will probably do very well here if

You naturally notice things that need attention
You take ownership without needing constant direction
You communicate professionally with clients
You can comfortably interact with executives, creators, entrepreneurs, professionals, and everyday customers
You write clear and professional emails
You are organized and can manage multiple moving pieces
You enjoy learning new equipment and technology
You are comfortable working in a creative environment where every day may look different
You are willing to help wherever the studio needs you
You want to learn how a real media and production business operates from the inside

You probably will not enjoy this job if

You want a quiet desk job with the same tasks every day
You only want to edit
You only want to shoot
You do not want to clean, reset rooms, move equipment, or coil cables
You need someone constantly telling you what to do next
You are uncomfortable talking with clients
You dislike being around cameras, production equipment, or creative people
You are looking for a remote position

This role is admin and operations first, with production and creative work built into it.

Physical requirements

This is a working production studio.

You should be comfortable:

Being on your feet for extended periods
Moving chairs, tables, light stands, and production equipment
Lifting up to approximately 50 lbs when needed
Using a ladder when appropriate
Helping build, reset, or strike studio setups
Working occasional evenings or weekends for special shoots or events

Requirements

Reliable transportation to Westland, MI
Local applicants strongly preferred. Ideally within 10–15 minutes of the studio in Westland due to occasional schedule changes, early setups, and evening sessions.
Strong written and verbal communication
Basic computer and calendar skills
Comfortable using Google Workspace or similar tools
Reliable and punctual
Organized and detail-oriented
Comfortable working directly with clients
Willingness to learn production equipment and workflows
Ability to work approximately 20–25 hours per week to start
Some flexibility for occasional evening or weekend sessions

Nice to have, but not required

Production experience is helpful, but we are open to training the right person.

Experience in any of the following is a plus:

Film
Photography
Broadcasting
Media production
Podcasting
Video production
Camera operation
Lighting
Audio equipment
Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve
CapCut
Lightroom
Social media management
Content creation
Customer service
Hospitality
Front desk or administrative work

Film, photography, and media students or recent graduates

If you studied film, photography, broadcasting, media production, or a related field, we encourage you to apply.

A lot of what you have already learned carries directly into this environment, including lighting, lenses, exposure, composition, production etiquette, equipment handling, and working with people in front of a camera.

We can teach you the rest.

Where this role can go

We are continuing to grow PodLab Studios and expand the types of productions, clients, events, and spaces we operate.

The person in this position will have the opportunity to learn the studio from the ground up.

Over time, a strong person in this role could grow into responsibilities such as:

Running studio sessions independently
Managing a room or production area
Training new staff
Coordinating studio schedules
Supervising shifts
Managing client experiences
Taking on greater production responsibility
Eventually helping manage a studio location

Growth is not automatic.

It goes to the person who earns trust, learns the operation, takes ownership, and consistently makes the business run better.

How to apply

Please submit both of the following:

Your resume
A short 60-second video introduction

Record the video on your phone.

Keep it simple.

Tell us:

Your name
One thing about yourself
Why this specific job interests you

No professional editing, scripting, lighting, or production value is required.

We are a video company, so we would simply like to see how you communicate.

Applications missing either the resume or video introduction may not be reviewed.

Send resumes/video intros to: [email protected]

Pay: $16.00 - $20.00 per hour

Expected hours: 18.0 – 25.0 per week

Application Question(s):

Are you within or around a 15 min drive from us?

Ability to Commute:

Westland, MI 48185 (Required)

Work Location: In person
