THIS IS A LONG-TERM ROLE
We are a growing media technology company building a private, multi-vertical creator and advertiser ecosystem. We are seeking a long-term Podcast & Advertiser Talent Scout who combines professional research tools with hands-on manual investigation to identify high-quality podcast creators and relevant advertisers, and open initial conversations with them.
This role is not about scraping lists or sending mass emails. It requires judgment, pattern recognition, and human-level outreach to build real relationships over time.
This is an ongoing role with future work for the right person.

What You’ll Be Doing
Creator (Podcast) Scouting

• Conduct personalized, one-to-one outreach (no automation, no bulk templates)
• Qualify interest and help move creators toward sign-ups or discovery conversations
Advertiser Scouting
• Identify brands actively advertising on podcasts or audio platforms
• Research advertiser fit by category, audience alignment, and brand tone
• Validate active ad spend and podcast-friendly positioning
• Conduct respectful, non-spammy initial outreach to open conversations
• Track advertiser interest and readiness for follow-up discussions
Relationship & Tracking
• Maintain a clean spreadsheet or CRM tracking:
• Discovery
• Outreach status
• Responses
• Interest level
• Next steps
• Provide clear weekly updates with forward momentum
