PLEASE READ COMPLETELY

We are building a new digital media and advertising platform focused on podcasters and performance-driven advertisers.

We are looking for a growth operator who can:

• Find qualified podcasters
• Find qualified advertisers
• Reach out strategically (email / LinkedIn / DM)
• Start real conversations
• Book calls

This is not list building.

This is relationship-building.

This is long-term.

Your Responsibilities

1️⃣ Sourcing (Podcasters)

You will:
• Identify independent podcasters (not locked into exclusive contracts)
• Evaluate engagement quality (not just downloads)
• Identify monetization gaps (ads, affiliate, subscriptions)
• Find verified contact info
• Segment by niche

You must understand:
• Podcast monetization
• Creator economy
• CPM vs performance ads
• Audience leverage

⸻

2️⃣ Sourcing (Advertisers)

You will:
• Identify brands already spending on:
• Podcasts
• YouTube
• Influencers
• Affiliate programs
• Research decision-makers
• Understand DTC + performance marketing
• Identify brands that care about measurable results

⸻

3️⃣ Outreach

You will:
• Write customized outreach (no spam templates)
• Send emails / LinkedIn messages
• Follow up properly
• Track replies
• Book intro calls

I do NOT want:
• Mass Mailchimp blasts
• Scraped spam
• Generic copy-paste messages

I want:
• High signal outreach
• Quality targeting
• Conversion-focused messaging

Tools

You may use paid tools (preferred):
• Apollo
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• ZoomInfo
• Hunter
• Lusha
• Instantly / Smartlead
• Clay
• Lemlist
• SimilarWeb
• SEMrush
• Podchaser Pro

Free tools also expected:
• Apple Podcasts / Spotify charts
• Google operators
• Reddit
• X / Instagram
• Manual site research

If you only rely on paid scraping tools without thinking — this isn’t for you.

If you only use free tools but produce elite results — that’s respected.

What I’m Looking For

You must:

• Understand cold outreach psychology
• Know how to avoid spam flags
• Be able to warm up domains if needed
• Understand deliverability basics
• Know how to qualify before reaching out
• Be comfortable with performance metrics

This is not a VA role.

This is a growth role.

If you can do this job at the front/top/beginning of your proposal write “paid tools” if you have paid (besides sales navigate) or “free tools” if you only have free tools and please bid $15 (this just lets me know you read and understand) it won’t be your actual price
