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.
