Podcast & YouTube Growth Manager Role | PodcastHub UAE in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This is a specialist individual-contributor role in the fast-growing podcast and video content space. The title of "Distribution & Growth Manager" sits at the intersection of platform SEO, content strategy, and growth marketing — a niche skill set that is genuinely in demand as brands and media companies aggressively expand their podcast presence.
Skills you'll develop:
- Platform-native growth strategies across YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts
- Short-form content strategy (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) for audience conversion
- Data-driven decision making using YouTube Studio and Spotify analytics
- Cross-platform publishing workflows and quality control processes
Market positioning: No salary is listed, which is a mild red flag — candidates should push for transparency during screening. Market rates for comparable roles (Podcast Growth Manager, YouTube SEO Strategist) typically range from $55,000–$90,000/year in the US, depending on experience and results. UK equivalents run £40,000–£65,000.
Green flags: Clear ownership scope, results-focused hiring ("show us the numbers"), and a lean team structure signal a startup environment where your impact is visible. The Dubai HQ adds an interesting cross-cultural dimension.
Watch out for: No salary disclosure, and the requirement to cover Dubai hours from the US/UK suggests potential for schedule creep. Clarify expected weekly hours and async vs. sync expectations before accepting.
Headquarters: UAE, Dubai

We're looking for the person who takes a finished episode and makes it reach and grow an audience. You'll own how our shows perform on YouTube, Spotify and Apple — the titles, thumbnails, chapters, publishing, and the short-form that pulls new viewers in. We handle production in Dubai; you own distribution and growth. We're hiring in the US/UK because that's where the deepest podcast-growth talent lives.
What You'll Own
Publishing & Optimisation
- Upload and schedule every episode across YouTube, Spotify, Apple and the clip platforms
- Craft titles, thumbnails, descriptions, chapters/timestamps and tags — optimised per platform
- Handle Spotify video setup, the Apple feed, YouTube "Set as podcast", captions and transcripts
- Run a per-episode quality checklist before anything ships
Growth
- Own YouTube & Spotify growth strategy — read the data and double down on what works
- Build the short-form plan (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) to turn viewers into subscribers
- Track views, retention, subscribers and CTR, and feed insights back to the team
- Stay ahead of platform changes and podcast trends
What We're Looking For
- A proven track record growing a podcast or channel on YouTube + Spotify — show us the numbers
- Deep knowledge of YouTube SEO, thumbnails, Spotify/Apple publishing and Shorts strategy
- Hands-on with YouTube Studio, Spotify for Creators and analytics tools
- Based in the US or UK, working remotely, with overlap hours for Dubai
- Organised, data-driven, and someone who closes loops
Bonus
- Experience with video podcasts specifically
- Editing/thumbnail literacy (enough to brief and review)
- Familiarity with the clip / content-reward model
