- Fluent in both written and spoken English
What the job involves
- Acast works with some of the biggest networks and podcasts in the world, including The Guardian, Irish Independent, The Blindboy Podcast, Tommy, Hector & Laurita, Giggly Squad and more. We are looking for a driven, passionate, and highly experienced Creator Manager to join our Content team in Dublin, with a core focus on driving podcaster acquisition and growth
- Your most important responsibility will be content acquisition, identifying and signing top tier podcasts to the Acast network. You will bring an established network of industry connections and deep experience working with talent agents to hit the ground running from day one
- In addition to expansion, you will be responsible for launching and growing new and existing podcasts, working directly with creators to ensure their long-term success
- As a member of the Creator Management team, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and innovating new and exciting launch plans for podcasts as they start, and finding new and inventive ways to keep podcasts growing over time
- You’ll also be a central point of contact for podcasters, networks, and publishers, helping them to navigate Acast’s teams and processes
- This is a remote role but you will be expected to meet creators and agents in person frequently

- Utilise your existing network and experience working with talent agents, managers, and production companies to secure exclusive content partnerships
- Manage high-level relationships with current and future podcasters, be that a celebrity, a production company, a talent agency, or a major publisher
- Help podcasters successfully launch their shows, give content feedback where needed, and help them develop and implement ways to grow their audiences
- Be the day-to-day point of contact for our podcasters, helping to direct them to the right team for their query
- Ensure that the sales teams globally have all the information they need to monetise Acast podcasts and help create sales assets to support sales
- What Success Looks Like:
- Robust pipeline and high-value acquisitions: Signing high-profile podcasts and network deals. This includes consistently leveraging relationships with talent agencies and production companies to launch new and existing podcast signings
- Portfolio expansion: Acquiring omnichannel inventory targeted to fill gaps in our network, including both audio and video podcasts, as well as social media channels
- Commercial and sales alignment: Strong collaboration with Acast’s commercial teams. The shows you acquire match advertiser demand, directly translating into immediate and scalable advertising opportunities for Acast
Our take
Acast is a podcast hosting platform, monetised by its ad network. Users gain access to a variety of tools, including sharing tools and advanced analytics, and earn money via the adverts provided by the Acast service. Acast publish podcasts to all podcast apps such as Amazon, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Acast is used by worldwide brands such as the Guardian, BBC, HuffPost, VICE, Vogue, and the Financial Times. It enables creators and advertisers to foster meaningful relationships with listeners, while giving anyone access to insightful, educational, and entertaining audio content.
Its acquisition of Podchaser - one of the most comprehensive podcast databases in the world - in 2022 meant that Acast could begin to build a structured metadata portfolio for the market. Propping up its creator network, it acquired Backyard in 2026, giving it access to some of the largest names in podcasting. Solidifying its status, Acast has now built tools for listeners, creators and advertisers that enable monetisation and accelerated global reach.
