The Head of Growth & Operations will be accountable for day-to-day operations, P&L performance, and audience and revenue growth for each show in their portfolio. They will convene a dedicated cross-functional team spanning sales, sales marketing, production, audience marketing, YouTube and social strategy, and business operations. They will also bring sharp insight on the podcast industry, the creator economy, and the competitive landscape to shape how we grow the category and its key franchises.
This is a hands-on role: the Head of Growth & Operations is close to the week-to-week details of every show, including release calendars, ad load and inventory, guest booking, episode performance, and production workflows, and steps in directly when something slips.

- Experience managing high-profile talent relationships and complex partnerships, with the empathy and directness to deliver hard news well
Leadership qualities- A high-metabolism, action-oriented leader, who will drive progress week-to-week
- An ownership mentality, excited to "roll up your sleeves" and get things done
- A confident, poised, clear communicator with senior audiences
- A collaborative teammate who leads through influence
