One of the most exciting names in the podcasting space – a fast-scaling, venture-backed platform that’s redefining how audio content and digital influence collide are now launching a brand-new Speakers Division – designed to connect their roster of world-class podcast hosts, creators, and cultural voices with global speaking opportunities.

* A strong track record in building new revenue streams, negotiating high-value deals, and leading client relationships.
* Someone with startup energy – excited to shape something new and get stuck in.
* A genuine passion for storytelling, culture and digital influence – and how the right voice at the right time can drive global impact.
* Commercially sharp, operationally solid, and a natural relationship builder.
This is a rare opportunity to build something from scratch inside a cutting-edge content business with real cultural momentum behind it.
