Head of Audience Development

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Creative. You love coming up with solutions to problems. You thrive on creating unique ways to stand out in a crowded space.
• Experimental. You love testing new ideas and new technologies to uncover fresh ways to reach and engage audiences.
• Analytical. You go deep on data, love spotting and interpreting trends and are great at communicating this to others (in a way they can understand!).
• Adaptable. You thrive when you need to find solutions, make adjustments, and receive feedback. You work efficiently to get the job done by deadlines.
• Passionate. You love storytelling and connecting business communities through content marketing.

What’s the role?

We’re looking for our first Head of Audience Development to lead our expanding Promotions Department. You will work closely with people like Harry (CEO), Claire (Growth and Content Marketer), and lots of the other folks on this page.

In this role, you’ll completely own the promotions function of the business. Helping our clients to be even more successful with their shows, and getting deep into the podcast growth space to uncover new ways to help podcasters succeed.

While Promotions and Audience Development is something we’ve been with great success for a long while, we’re now ready to take it to another level, with a centralized department and a leader at the wheel.

This is very much a case of mutual growth: as the department continues to expand, so will your remit, responsibilities, and team.

But don’t worry, you’re not alone. We foster a collaborative culture and work together to make sure everything we produce is the absolute best it can be.

Who are we looking for?

For this role, you ideally have:

• A passion for podcasts and storytelling.
• Extensive experience successfully growing podcasts.
• Excellent analytical skills – especially great if you have experience inside of marketing data.
• Familiarity with outsourced growth agencies is a plus.
• The ability to work to deadlines so that shows never miss schedule.
• The ability and desire to work autonomously and with complete ownership

Why this role?

• Work from anywhere. Your house in the country, a coffee shop in the city, a yurt in the forest — we don’t mind. As long as you have strong enough wifi.
• Truly great work culture. We’re a young and small, but established company — you can make a real impact, but we’re not in the business of micromanagement.
• Flexible Hours. Outside of ideally having some working overlap with UK working hours, we have a globally distributed, asynchronous team.
• Generous PTO, sick leave, and public holiday policy. Just throw us some notice and share where you go on holiday!
• Equipment Budget. Headphones, software, staplers, fax machine (probably not that last one) — whatever you need to be set up for success.
• Professional Development Allowance. Courses, conference tickets, books — we’re invested in you.
• Planned team retreats in really fun spots. At least once per year, we get together in cool places to collaborate and celebrate in person.
