We are seeking to grow our account team supporting clients in entrepreneurship, personal development, creativity, spirituality, and wellness verticals.

We are a unique agency, based on our founder’s belief that you can get amazing results for clients without sacrificing your personal life or your sanity. This position is ideal for a self-starter who would love to spend their workday tracking industry trends, whipping up story angles, and nurturing relationships with podcasters.

  • Nurturing relationships with podcasters and responding to any incoming requests quickly and graciously
  • Creating and delivering weekly client reports; tracking progress against established goals

About

Podcast Ally is a micro agency that matches business owners, authors and thought leaders with podcasts who are facilitating deep conversations with engaged audiences.

The company started as a solo consultancy, but as demand for our work has grown, we’re thoughtfully expanding.

Brigitte Lyons founded Podcast Ally after a long career in PR, when she realized that podcasts are the most influential media platform for leaders who want to have a deeper conversation about their work.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and you would be joining a small, diverse team. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

Key Benefits of Working at Podcast Ally

  • We are a fully remote, distributed team. Because we are remote-first, you will never be the odd-person out working from home
  • Work only during working hours. Brigitte’s background is in public affairs and crisis communications, and one of her main drivers in founding her own company was to create a saner, more humane agency environment. We actively discourage emailing clients or your team after work hours, and we don’t take work with us on vacation!
  • Let your expertise shine. We work hard to eliminate distractions and busywork from your day, so you can do the work that you do best, and celebrate your wins!
