We are seeking a highly motivated Podcast Acquisition Manager with experience recruiting in the podcast video and / or audio space. This role offers an exciting opportunity to drive the growth of a fast-paced, rapidly expanding organization. You would play a key role in identifying and attracting top talent in the industry and bringing them into our network. You’ll work closely with our Partnerships team to manage a high-volume requisition load, ensuring we continue to bring in diverse, skilled talent who align with our culture and mission.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and recruit top-tier podcast talent that aligns with The Roost’s strategic vision, audience goals, and commercial potential
• Stay ahead of trends in podcasting, YouTube, and the broader creator economy — identifying emerging voices, new formats, and under-leveraged genres
• Lead end-to-end deal execution — from first contact to signed contract — including talent outreach, pitch development, negotiation, and onboarding
• Negotiate partnership agreements with a clear understanding of Minimum Guarantees, industry revenue shares, and deal structures that balance creator value with business performance
• Maintain a high-quality talent pipeline, actively sourcing leads, managing outreach, and logging activity in CRM tools (Salesforce, Affinity)
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Ad Ops, Marketing, and Legal to ensure smooth deal execution and post-signing alignment
• Represent The Roost in the market, attending industry events, talent meetings, and conferences to build visibility and drive deal flow
• Track and report on acquisition performance, pipeline status, and deal conversion metrics regularly to senior leadership
• Support the Head of Partnerships and broader team with strategic growth initiatives, special projects, and launch planning
