You’ll help make workplaces more connected, informed, and interesting via the magic of podcasting. Supporting Cast built one of podcasting’s first and most successful subscription management platforms for top public podcasters before expanding to improve employee experiences at some of the most interesting companies in the world.

You’ll be the first hire for this function. This is a great opportunity if you want ownership of your work, a taste of startup life, and the responsibility of setting the bar high for a new team. You’ll also enjoy competitive salary and benefits in a remote-first, mission-driven, and family-friendly team.

Our clients include leading podcast publishers like NPR, SiriusXM, and NBC, along with major independent shows. A proponent of the open ecosystem, we make it seamless for subscribers to access premium podcast content in their favorite app—no new app to download—and give publishers the tools to grow and manage their paying audience with flexible integrations, analytics, and payments.

We’re a small, fully remote company with a strong belief in the future of audio. We’re looking for someone who is thoughtful and detail-oriented to help us bring the magic of podcasting into more corporate settings.
