The Attention Co. | Marol, Mumbai | Full-time, In-office

About the roleThe Attention Co. creates podcasts with founders, leaders, experts, and people with experiences worth understanding.

We’re looking for a researcher who enjoys following an interesting question until they understand it well enough to ask a better one. You should regularly listen to thoughtful English-language podcasts and be curious about subjects such as business, science, health, psychology, and culture.

Your work will help the host understand the guest, find a direction for the episode, and ask questions that lead to specific, useful answers.

What you’ll do

- Research guests through their work, books, interviews, articles, and public statements.
- Watch or read previous conversations in full to understand what they’ve already discussed and what deserves further exploration.
- Find revealing stories, practical insights, contradictions, and unanswered questions.
- Read audience comments and discussions to understand what people are curious about or struggling with.
- Develop an episode angle that gives the conversation a clear purpose.
- Prepare organised research notes, source references, and concise briefs the host can use.
- Write natural, open-ended questions and follow-ups that encourage examples and honest reflection.
- Check facts, distinguish evidence from opinion,



and flag claims that need verification.
- Work with producers and editors to identify ideas that could become strong trailers, clips, or supporting content.

Who we’re looking forYou read carefully, write clear English, and can explain complicated ideas without losing their meaning. You know how to assess a source and keep track of where information came from. You should be able to explain why a guest is interesting beyond their job title, what a listener could learn from them, and which questions are likely to produce a worthwhile conversation.

Experience in research, journalism, writing, or podcast production would help. We also welcome strong work from other backgrounds. Curiosity, judgment, and the ability to turn research into valuable questions matter most.

What’s in it for youYou’ll spend time understanding interesting people and subjects, work closely with hosts and producers, and help shape episodes before they’re recorded. You’ll see how your research develops into a conversation and learn from what the audience responds to.

What success looks likeThe host arrives prepared and can use the research easily. Questions feel specific to the guest, familiar subjects reveal something fresh, and listeners leave with a clearer understanding or something useful to act on.
