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.

• 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
