- Share partner insights with our product and engineering teams to make our tools even better
- Proactively check in with partners to drive adoption, grow subscriptions, and reduce churn
- Assist with technical implementations—for example, helping publishers implement our WordPress plug-in or embedded solutions on their existing website
- Help publishers migrate their offerings and subscribers from competing platforms
Must-haves
- 1–3 years in customer success, account management, podcast operations, audience development, subscription management, or other relevant field

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- A problem-solving mindset: resourceful, curious, and eager to learn
- Comfort with common productivity tools (Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, Google Sheets)
- An interest in using A.I. tools to help scale a fast-growing company
Nice to have

- Knowledge of audience growth strategies in podcasting, newsletters, or the broader creator economy
- Experience writing and executing audio promo campaigns and/or experience writing action-oriented copy (CTAs, subject lines, headlines, landing page copy)
- Experience with common publishing, CRM, or analytics tools (WordPress, Mailchimp, Zapier, HubSpot, Google Analytics, Amplitude, etc.)
- Experience working with engineers, product teams, and Agile planning frameworks
