Naturally, being passionate about podcasts, audio content, and entertainment is a big plus!

These are the benefits

• Opportunity to make an impact at a growing international company and see your work pay off immediately

This is the hiring process

First things first: we ask you to submit your resume 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:

• An initial conversation with our Talent Attraction team to set expectations
• An interview (including a brief case) with the hiring manager
• A coffee chat with some of your potential future team members

We might tweak the process to keep things smooth and enjoyable. We'll be conducting interviews continuously, aiming for a start date of September 1st.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
