AI Strategy - Founder’s Office

Pocket FM is building the world’s largest AI-powered audio storytelling platform.

We recently crossed $400M ARR. The first $200M took six years. The next $200M came in just 12 months. That acceleration happened because AI did not replace creativity - it amplified it. Today, more than 300,000 creators produce 80,000+ hours of content every month on Pocket FM. These are stories people binge daily across markets, languages, and cultures.

We are rebuilding the storytelling stack from the ground up: from how ideas are discovered, tested, written, localized, distributed, monetized, and scaled. Writers are no longer just writing. They are collaborating with systems that understand narrative structure, pacing, character arcs, audience signals, and cultural context.

The goal is not to create more content for the sake of volume. The goal is to create better stories, faster, globally, and at a massive scale.

About the role

You will work closely with the Founders and leadership team across functions on some of Pocket FM’s highest-leverage AI initiatives: turning storytelling from a hit-driven, unpredictable process into something more iterative, data-aware, and globally scalable - without losing the creativity that makes stories special.

This is not a research-only role. It is not a coordination role. It is a builder-operator role for someone who can move from first-principles problem solving to execution across teams.

You will help identify where AI can unlock step-function improvements, shape the strategic narrative, pressure-test new opportunities, build operating systems, and drive cross-functional execution across content, creator tooling, localization, monetization, and new formats.

What makes this role unique

This is an opportunity to work on one of the most important questions in entertainment:

What happens when creative industries get the kind of tooling, feedback loops, and iteration speed that engineers have had for decades?

At Pocket FM, AI is not a side experiment. It is becoming the operating system for creating, testing, localizing, scaling, and monetizing stories globally.

You will be close to the Founder’s thinking, close to the company’s most important strategic bets, and close to the systems that could define the next generation of storytelling - problems where the market has no playbook yet. The role requires structured thinking, strong execution, and the ability to keep moving even when the problem is messy.

What will you own

1. Founder-level AI strategy and operating leverage: Act as a strategic extension layer, translating priorities across content, creator ecosystems, localization, monetization, distribution, and new formats into LLM-native strategy, agentic operating loops, model-informed decision systems, experimentation roadmaps, and execution cadences at scale.
2. AI-led storytelling systems: Own frontier AI problems across long-context narrative modeling, character memory graphs, story embeddings, agentic writing workflows, retrieval-augmented narrative intelligence, cultural adaptation models, audience-signal mining, predictive breakout scoring, and human-in-the-loop creative systems that scale originality.
3. High-impact special projects: Lead 0-to-1 and scale AI initiatives across creator copilots, multi-agent writing systems, prompt-to-story workflows, rapid validation engines, localization pipelines, content intelligence models, monetization algorithms, AI-native formats, automation layers, and global expansion playbooks.
4. Data-aware growth and content intelligence: Partner with content, product, growth, analytics, and AI teams to convert engagement signals, retention curves, creator behavior, monetization data, and localization performance into embeddings, predictive models, feedback loops, dashboards, and repeatable decision systems.
5. Cross-functional execution:Drive AI programs across teams by aligning model, product, content, and business priorities; removing bottlenecks; operationalizing experimentation pipelines; building review systems; sequencing decisions; and turning model outputs into high-velocity execution.
6. Strategic narrative: Help build and sharpen Pocket FM’s AI narrative for internal and external stakeholders, including leadership teams, investors, partners, creators, and global teams. You will help explain not just what Pocket FM is building, but why it matters: AI as creative leverage for the global storytelling ecosystem.

Who are we looking for

We are looking for someone who combines strategic depth, analytical sharpness, operating intensity, and strong AI intuition.

You may be a fit if you have:

• 2-4 years of experience in high-performing consumer tech, AI/product strategy roles,
• Comfort working with AI-native products, workflows, or business models
• Strong analytical ability; you can work with data, identify patterns, and build decision frameworks
• High ownership and bias for action; you do not wait for perfect information
• Comfort with high-intensity, multi-timezone, fast-scaling environments
• Deep curiosity about storytelling, consumer behavior, creativity, and AI
