Join Primerli as our Business Podcast Host (Contractor Position)
About Primerli
Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth EdTech startup on a mission to make learning fun. Let’s face it: despite the fact that “content” is more engaging than ever in many spaces, most professional learning content is notoriously boring, slow, and ineffective.
At Primerli, we know how to get people up to speed quickly on complex topics – and how to make it actually enjoyable. We are taking the modern standards of storytelling and production and applying them with a dose of sarcasm to create learning content that professionals actually want to watch. You can check out our sample content on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@primerli
Our innovative approach is already proving successful: our clients include many of the world’s most iconic technology and consulting brands. We are now taking it to the next level by launching a new podcast series where we’ll bring in the best minds across industries—turning expert insights into binge-worthy conversations.
