Pocket FM is building the world's leading AI-powered audio storytelling platform. We are redefining how stories are created, tested, localized, distributed, monetized, and scaled for millions of listeners globally.

AI is not a side experiment at Pocket FM. It is becoming the operating system for how we build the future of storytelling from creator tooling and content intelligence to personalization, growth, monetization, and global expansion.

We are looking for high-agency, AI-native builders who can combine product intuition, business understanding, systems thinking, and execution speed to drive step-function impact across the company.

About the role

We are hiring an AI-Native Generalist for the Founder's Office to work closely with the Founders and leadership team on some of Pocket FM's highest-leverage AI initiatives.

This is a builder-operator role for someone who can move fluidly between strategy, product, business, systems, AI workflows, and execution. You will help identify where AI can unlock meaningful business outcomes, build operating systems and workflows, pressure-test new opportunities, and drive cross-functional execution across content, creator ecosystem, localization, growth, monetization, distribution, and new formats.

What you'll work on

You will work on high-impact initiatives such as:

AI copilots for content, creator, and business operations
Agentic workflows for writing, voice, video, localization, experimentation, and decision-making
Content intelligence systems using audience signals, retention curves, engagement data, and creator behavior
AI-native growth, monetization, and personalization workflows
Internal automation systems, dashboards, knowledge systems, and decision-support tools
Rapid validation engines for new story formats, markets, and content bets
AI-led operating cadences that improve speed, quality, and business outcomes across teams

What you'll own

Founder-level AI strategy and operating leverage: Translate leadership priorities into AI-native strategy, experimentation roadmaps, operating loops, decision systems, and execution cadences
Product, business, and growth initiatives: Identify high-leverage opportunities across content, growth, retention, monetization, creator ecosystem, and platform teams. Convert business problems into scalable products and systems initiatives
AI-native workflows and systems: Design and prototype workflows using LLMs, agents, RAG, embeddings, orchestration tools, automation pipelines, low-code/no-code tools, scripts, and modern AI tooling
Storytelling and content intelligence systems: Work on frontier problems such as narrative intelligence, story embeddings, creator copilots, audience-signal mining, localization workflows, predictive breakout scoring, and human-in-the-loop creative systems
Cross-functional execution: Partner with product, engineering, content, analytics, growth, business, and operations teams to align priorities, remove bottlenecks, sequence execution, define metrics, and drive outcomes
Strategic narrative: Help sharpen Pocket FM's AI narrative for internal and external stakeholders - explaining what we are building, why it matters, and how AI can become creative leverage for the global storytelling ecosystem

What we're looking for

You may be a strong fit if you have:

Strong product intuition and consumer understanding
Good business acumen and the ability to connect strategy with execution
Strong analytical ability; you can work with data, identify patterns, and build decision frameworks
High ownership, bias for action, and comfort operating with incomplete information
Deep curiosity about AI, storytelling, consumer behavior, and emerging workflows

AI-Native mindset

We are especially interested in people who already use AI extensively in their daily work.

You should be comfortable with some or many of the following:

LLMs, prompting, agents, RAG, embeddings, evaluation, and orchestration patterns
AI-assisted research, analysis, prototyping, writing, coding, and automation
Building lightweight workflows, internal tools, dashboards, or productivity systems
Thinking in terms of leverage, systems, feedback loops, and repeatable processes
Rapidly testing ideas and improving them through experimentation

You do not need to be a pure backend engineer, but you should be technically fluent enough to work well with engineering teams, reason about APIs, data flows, scalability, system trade-offs, and AI system reliability.

Preferred backgrounds

We are open to candidates from different paths, including:

Product managers with strong AI or technical depth
Engineers with strong product and business orientation
Startup generalists or operators
AI-native builders or automation-first operators
Growth, strategy, or business professionals with strong product thinking
Consultants with execution depth
Founders or ex-founders
Systems-oriented product or platform thinkers

Nice to have

Experience in consumer internet, media, entertainment, creator economy, or growth products
Familiarity with experimentation, analytics, personalization, recommendation systems, or growth loops
Exposure to cloud infrastructure, modern AI tools, automation systems, or agentic workflows
Experience working in high-growth startup environments

Experience

2-4 years preferred, but we are open to exceptional high-potential candidates across experience ranges. Depth of thinking, ownership, AI-native execution, systems understanding, and quality of output matter more than titles.
