Podcast Distribution & Growth Manager

We're looking for the person who takes a finished episode and makes it **reach and grow an audience**. You'll own how our shows perform on YouTube, Spotify and Apple — the titles, thumbnails, chapters, publishing, and the short-form that pulls new viewers in. We handle production in Dubai; you own distribution and growth. We're hiring in the US/UK because that's where the deepest podcast-growth talent lives.

**What you'll own**

*Publishing & optimisation*

• - Upload and schedule every episode across YouTube, Spotify, Apple and the clip platforms
• - Craft titles, thumbnails, descriptions, chapters/timestamps and tags — optimised per platform
• - Handle Spotify video setup, the Apple feed, YouTube "Set as podcast", captions and transcripts
• - Run a per-episode quality checklist before anything ships

*Growth*

• - Own YouTube & Spotify growth strategy — read the data and double down on what works
• - Build the short-form plan (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) to turn viewers into subscribers
• - Track views, retention, subscribers and CTR, and feed insights back to the team
• - Stay ahead of platform changes and podcast trends

**What we're looking for**

• - A proven track record growing a podcast or channel on YouTube + Spotify — **show us the numbers**
• - Deep knowledge of YouTube SEO, thumbnails, Spotify/Apple publishing and Shorts strategy
• - Hands-on with YouTube Studio, Spotify for Creators and analytics tools
• - Based in the **US or UK**, working remotely, with overlap hours for Dubai
• - Organised, data-driven, and someone who closes loops

**Bonus**

• - Experience with video podcasts specifically
• - Editing/thumbnail literacy (enough to brief and review)
• - Familiarity with the clip / content-reward model
