The role

What you'll do
- Build a pipeline of US brands and agencies that fit our audience (tech, finance, education, productivity)
- Pitch host-read integrations and multi-episode packages, negotiate rates and terms
- Close deals and coordinate delivery with our production team
- Report on results and drive renewals
- Help shape our rate card and media kit
What we're looking for
- 2+ years selling podcast, YouTube or creator sponsorships (podcast network, creator agency, MCN or in-house)
- Existing relationships with US brands or media agencies
- A track record of closed deals you can walk us through
- Based in the US, self-driven, comfortable working remotely with a small international team
- Russian is a plus, not a requirement
Compensation
- $500/month fixed retainer
- 10% commission on the first deal with every new sponsor you bring in
- 5% commission on repeat deals and renewals with the same sponsor
Part-time independent contractor agreement, paid monthly. Strong performers can move to a full-time role.
