10/31/20264 min read
Job searching takes time — sometimes weeks, sometimes months. These three remote opportunities are specifically suited for people who need flexible income right now, without locking into a rigid full-time commitment that would make interviewing impossible. All three have been verified as currently active and all three link directly to employer pages — not third-party aggregators.
1. Podcast Support Specialist — Supporting Cast (Slate / Graham Holdings)
Pay: $19 – $22/hour
Type: Part-time (30+ hours/week minimum), 100% remote
Location: Remote (U.S. only)
Supporting Cast is the podcast monetization platform powering premium subscriptions for major publishers including NPR, SiriusXM, Vox, and NBC and it’s an internal startup operating under Slate Magazine, which is owned by Graham Holdings (NYSE: GHC), one of the most established media companies in the country. This isn’t a startup with shaky funding, it’s backed by a publicly traded Fortune 500 media company.
The role is part-time, email-based support (mostly), and fully remote. You’ll help podcast listeners troubleshoot app issues, manage their subscriptions, and navigate billing questions. It’s thoughtful, written work and perfect for someone who needs to keep mornings or afternoons free for job interviews.
What You’ll Do:
Respond to inbound listener emails — subscription issues, login problems, billing questions, podcast app setup, and gift redemption
Contribute to knowledge base articles and internal support documentation
Develop automations to provide more efficient support over time
Provide feedback to the product team on recurring issues
Requirements:
1–2 years of customer support experience
Familiarity with podcast apps and RSS feeds from a listener’s perspective
Experience with support or ticketing tools (Zendesk, Help Scout, Intercom, etc.)
Must have morning availability in Eastern Time
At least 30 hours per week availability
Why It Works for Job Hunters:
Email-based — no awkward phone calls to step away from mid-interview
Part-time — keep your schedule flexible for applications and interviews
Employer is a publicly traded company — completely legitimate and verifiable
Competitive hourly rate that doesn’t require full-time commitment
⚠️ Important note: Part-time eligibility for benefits is unconfirmed — verify during the application process.

Aviary Health (formerly Recora) is a VC-backed digital health company specializing in virtual cardiac rehabilitation — backed by SignalFire, Pear VC, GFC, Great Oaks, and MGV.

Assess patient eligibility using provided documentation and address inquiries
Assist patients with navigating the program app and website
Record accurate patient information and call notes in the system

1099 contractor status — no long-term employment commitment
Potential $200/week bonus on top of base pay significantly boosts earnings
Healthcare-adjacent experience that strengthens your resume while you search
Multiple shift options — choose what fits your schedule
⚠️ Important note: As a 1099 contractor, you are responsible for your own taxes — set aside approximately 25–30% of earnings for self-employment tax.
