- Help publishers migrate their offerings and subscribers from competing platforms
Must-haves

- A problem-solving mindset: resourceful, curious, and eager to learn
- Comfort with common productivity tools (Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, Google Sheets)
- An interest in using A.I. tools to help scale a fast-growing company
Nice to have

- Familiarity with podcast publishing tools/workflows (i.e., RSS, hosting platforms—e.g., Megaphone, Omny, Acast, Art19, Simplecast, Libsyn, etc.—Apple Podcasts Connect, Spotify for Podcasters)
- Knowledge of audience growth strategies in podcasting, newsletters, or the broader creator economy
- Experience writing and executing audio promo campaigns and/or experience writing action-oriented copy (CTAs, subject lines, headlines, landing page copy)
- Experience with common publishing, CRM, or analytics tools (WordPress, Mailchimp, Zapier, HubSpot, Google Analytics, Amplitude, etc.)
- Experience working with engineers, product teams, and Agile planning frameworks
