Mayday Files is a new audio‑visual podcast that sits at the intersection of true crime, aviation and forensic science. The team is building a recognizable audio brand, and we need an audio designer to shape the sound from the first sketch to the final master.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop a podcast sound framework: intro, outro, transitions, stinger, atmosphere, and aviation‑specific sound design.
• Create a dedicated sound bed for the facts voice “Alex.”
• Post‑production for each episode (approx. 45–50 min, twice per month): editing, audio‑cleaning, noise reduction, mixing, and mastering for podcast platforms and video.
• Collaborate closely with host Thomas and host/storyteller Max to craft narrative dynamics, maintain a consistent “signature sound” across all episodes.
• Optionally provide creative audio snippets for social‑media teasers and teaser audio.

• Completed projects in podcast, audio‑script, music production or sound design.
• Strong sense of storytelling through sound, drama and true‑crime atmosphere; clear mixing and language clarity.

Nice to Have

• Interest in aviation, technology or true crime.
• Experience with multitrack mix (voice, music, FX).
• German: good enough to edit spoken language.
• English: understanding of basic terms – we plan mid‑term English episodes.

Employment & Framework

• Part‑time, student job (10h / wk).
• Remote, asynchronous work with fixed episode deadlines.
• 2 episodes/month (each 45–50 min) plus initial sound‑framework development.
• Start ASAP – initial setup, then ongoing collaboration.
• Compensation: per‑episode basis, negotiated based on experience and scope.

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape the sound of a new brand from the ground up.
