About the Role

You’ll be at the center of how Pocket FM thinks, decides, and executes. This role gives you unmatched visibility into the Founder's worldview, the company’s top priorities, and operating DNA of a fast-scaling global business.

This is an opportunity to operate like an entrepreneur inside a rocket-ship: owning decisions end-to-end, moving fast, and shaping the future of a medium that’s still in its earliest innings.

What you will own

• Act as the Founder’s strategic extension across communications and shape decisions across markets, content, monetization, new initiatives and organization design
• Build and run the company’s operating rhythm - OKRs, business reviews, dashboards, leadership communication, and meeting systems
• Run high-impact special projects across global expansion, category creation, efficiency initiatives, automation, investment storytelling, and leadership hiring
• Own and drive cross-functional programs that require speed, clarity, and ruthless execution. Remove operational bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and improve cross-company alignment
• Ensure the Founder's time, context, and priorities are deployed with maximum leverage by managing information flow, sequencing decisions, and clearing noise
• Build and maintain the company’s strategic narrative for internal and external stakeholders - investors, partners, and global teams

Who are we looking for

• 4 - 6 years of experience in high-performance environments - consulting, top-tier banking, VC/PE, strategy
• A structured, first-principles thinker with top-tier strategic and analytical capability
• Exceptional at simplifying complexity and driving clarity in ambiguous, high-pressure environments
• A high-EQ operator who can influence leaders across functions
• Someone who defaults to action, speed, and ownership, and thrives under high expectations
• Mission-first, resilient, and comfortable with multi-timezone, high-intensity work
