About Goalhanger
The Role
We’re looking for a Junior Creative Producer to support the delivery of high-quality branded commercial content across our podcast network. This is a writing-led creative role for someone who combines speed with taste, and who wants to learn how strong commercial ideas are shaped, refined, and delivered inside premium, talent-led shows.
You’ll work closely with the Creative Producer, show producers, and the wider commercial team to help ensure branded work feels native to each show, enjoyable for audiences, and effective for partners. This is a hands-on role where attention to detail, organisation and collaboration are key.
What you’ll do:
Draft host-read scripts and sponsor messaging across a range of commercial briefs, taking ownership of first-pass writing for lower-complexity campaigns and smaller brand partners.
Develop alternate creative routes and script versions, including new openings, different angles and shorter cuts, to strengthen the work and support efficient approvals.
Use feedback from clients, producers and the wider creative team to refine scripts, keeping copy clear, accurate and natural for talent to deliver.
Support the development of branded content campaigns and custom segments through research, creative ideas, outlines, beat structures and first-pass writing.
Contribute hooks, lines, tags and creative ideas that help brand integrations feel considered and natural to the show rather than an interruption.
Develop a strong understanding of the tone, rhythm and humour of Goalhanger’s different shows, adapting your writing for different hosts, audiences and formats.
Work with show producers and the commercial team to interpret briefs, respond to amends and keep creative deliverables moving.
Maintain clear, accurate and up-to-date scripts and working documents, ensuring teams and talent are always working from the correct version.
Join selected recordings, talent sessions and run-throughs, supporting delivery while developing an understanding of what works in each host’s voice.
Maintain a high creative standard across all commercial copy, ensuring work is natural, specific and appropriate to the individual show.
Handle mandatory messaging, factual claims and compliance requirements accurately, flagging any issues or uncertainties early.
Support newsletters and additional campaign copy where required.
What you’ll bring:
Some experience in writing or developing creative content, whether in audio, media, publishing, an agency, branded content or a similar environment.
A strong ear for tone of voice and an understanding of how writing changes when it’s intended to be spoken aloud.
Strong creative instincts, with the ability to generate ideas, find interesting angles and turn a brief into engaging copy.
The ability to adapt your writing for different voices, audiences and formats, rather than relying on a single style.
Confidence working at pace across multiple projects, changing deadlines and rounds of feedback.
Excellent attention to detail, particularly around accuracy, formatting, version control and clean amends.
A collaborative and pragmatic approach to feedback, focused on making the work better rather than protecting a first draft.
A genuine interest in podcasts, media and branded content, with curiosity about what makes commercial creative feel natural and engaging for an audience.
Why join Goalhanger?
A rare opportunity to help shape the commercial content and growth of the UK’s fastest growing company.
A creative, collaborative, close-knit team that genuinely cares about its work and each other.
Play a hands-on role in creating commercial work across some of Goalhanger’s biggest shows, with the opportunity to develop your craft, work with leading talent and see your writing go from brief to recording and out to millions of listeners.
Competitive salary and benefits, plus opportunities for growth within the role as our team and content portfolio expand.
A working environment that values curiosity, autonomy, humour, delivery and purpose.
