Love media? Live for legal? Ready to join an exciting media and tech scale-up?

At Podimo, we’re building something extraordinary: a global entertainment company that puts local voices, world-class storytelling, and cutting-edge technology at the heart of everything we do. With over 1 million paying subscribers across Europe and Latin America, we’ve grown from a startup into a fast-scaling international business, and we’re just getting started.

We’re pioneering a hyper-local approach to audio storytelling, supporting creators with global ambitions. Our platform delivers a seamless, personalized experience - connecting listeners to the best in spoken audio. And we’re more than a subscription service.

This is the hiring process

First things first: we ask you to submit your CV or provide a link to your LinkedIn profile. Sharing your motivation for the job is highly appreciated, but not expected. If we pick your application to continue to the interview stage, this is how we plan to run the interview process:

• A short video screening
• First interview with the hiring manager
• Case session with the primary stakeholders
• Final interview with the hiring manager

We might change it up to make sure it makes sense. Our main focus is to run an efficient and enjoyable interview process. We will conduct interviews on an ongoing basis and the preferred starting date is June or shortly thereafter.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
