Summary

We’re seeking a creative leader to manage a global podcast and AI-driven media projects. You’ll oversee content strategy, production, and distribution across multiple languages, while helping shape engaging, high-quality media experiences. The role includes coordinating with creators, managing timelines, and supporting growth through innovative storytelling and audience engagement. Ideal candidates have experience leading cross-cultural media initiatives and can help build a strong, consistent brand presence across platforms.Build a Worldwide AI Podcast Property Across 10–20+ Languages Company: Parinita AI Engagement: Contract / Fractional Lead with potential to expand into a long-term leadership role Location: Remote / Global Start: Immediately The Opportunity Parinita AI is building a global AI company spanning consumer AI, AI infrastructure, security, distributed compute, and sovereign AI. We are looking for an exceptional Global Multilingual Podcast & AI Media Lead to build and launch an owned international podcast property from the ground up. This is not a conventional podcast producer role. We want to create a media property that simultaneously functions as: A compelling global AI podcast A multilingual content engine A customer-acquisition and advertising channel for Parinita products A YouTube/video property A short-form social-content factory An SEO/GEO/AEO publishing engine A machine-readable public knowledge corpus that AI search and retrieval systems can discover and reference Our initial flagship concept is: INTELLIGENT AI IS HERE One global editorial identity. Multiple languages. Local relevance. Worldwide distribution. What We Want to Build The initial launch should support approximately 10–12 languages, with architecture capable of expanding to 20–30+ languages. Potential initial languages include: English Spanish Portuguese Hindi Arabic French German Japanese Korean Mandarin Indonesian Additional languages based on audience opportunity We do not want literal translations of an English podcast. Each edition must feel native to the audience: appropriate language, examples, cultural references, presentation, pronunciation, headlines and calls to action. The Content Model We envision a mix of: Daily / Frequent Short Episodes Approximately 5–12 minutes. Fast, intelligent, highly consumable discussions covering: Artificial intelligence New AI models and capabilities Consumer AI AI economics Startups Infrastructure GPUs and compute AI security Sovereign AI Developers and builders How AI affects ordinary people and businesses Major international AI developments Weekly Flagship Episodes Approximately 20–45 minutes. Deeper stories, interviews, debates and important themes. Short-Form Content Every episode should be capable of producing: YouTube Shorts TikTok Instagram Reels LinkedIn clips X video Quote assets Audiograms WhatsApp/shareable content Promotional audio spots One piece of original intellectual property should become many pieces of media. The Advertising Model This is an owned-media property. Parinita will use advertising inventory inside its own content to introduce relevant Parinita products and campaigns. The advertising should feel native and sophisticated — not like an infomercial. We need a system capable of supporting: Opening sponsorship messages Mid-roll advertising Closing CTAs Different advertisements by show Different advertisements by language Different advertisements by geography Campaign attribution Dynamic insertion where appropriate Future third-party sponsors The editorial product must remain valuable enough that people listen because they want the content. The AI / LLM Publishing Component This is a critical part of the assignment. Every episode should have a canonical web presence owned by Parinita. The system should turn each episode into structured public content including, where appropriate: Full transcript Episode summary Key facts Important concepts Named entities Product references FAQs Citations/source links Timestamps Related Parinita knowledge Audio/video embeds Canonical URLs Appropriate structured metadata/schema Internal linking We want content designed to be easily understood by both humans and machines. The objective is to maximize legitimate discoverability through traditional search engines, AI search, retrieval systems and answer engines. We are not looking for anyone who promises that publishing content will automatically cause foundation models to train on it. We want technically sound infrastructure for crawling, retrieval, citation and discovery. Distribution You should understand how to launch and operate global podcast distribution across platforms such as: Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube YouTube Music Amazon Music Major podcast applications Appropriate regional platforms You should understand RSS architecture, podcast hosting, analytics, video podcast workflows and international distribution. Parinita should retain ownership/control of the feeds, source content, audience relationships where available, analytics and intellectual property. Your Responsibilities You will initially own the end-to-end launch. This includes: Define the podcast format and production architecture. Develop the multilingual operating model. Recommend the technology stack. Establish the editorial workflow. Build the localization workflow. Establish native-speaker/host quality control. Design audio and video production. Establish podcast hosting and RSS distribution. Launch Spotify, Apple, YouTube and other channels. Build the transcript and knowledge-page workflow. Define SEO/GEO/AEO publishing requirements. Create the short-form repurposing operation. Establish ad insertion and campaign tracking. Establish audience and conversion analytics. Develop launch KPIs. Recruit/manage any specialized producers, translators, hosts, editors or contractors required. Create operating procedures so the system can scale to dozens of languages. What We Are NOT Looking For Please do not apply if your experience is primarily: Basic podcast editing Social-media posting Generic virtual-assistant work Simple AI-generated voiceovers Translating scripts word-for-word Uploading podcasts to Spotify Creating isolated podcast episodes without building the underlying system We need someone who can architect and own the operation. Ideal Background You may come from podcasting, digital media, international publishing, performance marketing, video media or a combination. Strong candidates will have experience with several of the following: Launching successful podcasts Multilingual media International audience development Podcast growth Podcast advertising Dynamic ad insertion Audio production Video podcast production YouTube growth Content localization Native-language QA RSS/podcast infrastructure Podcast analytics Attribution SEO GEO/AEO Structured content AI-assisted media workflows Automated transcription Content management systems Editorial operations What Success Looks Like We want to move quickly. The initial objective is to establish: One unmistakable global podcast brand A repeatable daily/weekly production workflow 10–12 initial language editions Global podcast distribution Video distribution A machine-readable transcript/knowledge layer Integrated Parinita advertising Short-form content generation Reliable analytics and attribution Architecture capable of rapidly expanding to 20–30+ languages Application Instructions Please begin your application with: INTELLIGENT AI IS HERE Then answer the following: 1. What is the largest podcast or digital-media property you have personally helped build? Tell us specifically what you were responsible for. 2. Have you launched content in multiple languages? Which languages and markets? 3. How would you architect one podcast concept across 12 languages without creating 12 completely separate production companies? Give us your high-level approach. 4. What technology stack would you recommend? Cover: Recording Editing Hosting RSS Video Transcription Localization Publishing Analytics Advertising Web/CMS 5. How would you ensure translated/localized episodes actually sound native? 6. How would you make every podcast episode discoverable by AI search and retrieval systems? Be technically specific. Do not give us generic “SEO” language. 7. How would you turn one 20-minute episode into 20+ pieces of distribution content? 8. What would you accomplish during your first 14 days? 9. Please provide links to podcasts, channels or media properties you have actually helped build. Clearly identify your role on each. Important We are moving quickly. We value people who build, make decisions and take ownership. We are not looking for a large strategy presentation followed by months of planning. We want someone capable of taking: idea → architecture → production → distribution → audience and making it real. If you have built something ambitious in podcasting, international media or AI-powered publishing, we would like to hear from you.
