About Acast

Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast

creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion

quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen - across any podcast app or listening platform.

As an Engineering Manager at Acast you will be the people manager and technical leader across two teams. You will work closely

with our tech leadership team to continuously deliver value and make sure that the members in your teams are growing. You will

build, support, and grow these teams through hiring, coaching, mentoring, and feedback. You will drive execution by organizing

teamwork, setting goals, and holding the teams accountable. You will have a critical role in guiding product decision making

alongside stakeholders. In addition to your two teams, you will also be contributing to and influencing the engineering

organization’s direction and culture alongside other engineering managers and directors.

The Delivery area is the core of Acast where the content, the user and the monetization meet to deliver the best possible

experience and value for everyone. Collaborating with experienced PMs, you will guide two of the area’s key teams to break new

ground in automating campaign planning and delivering smarter targeting through data driven recommendations. The work of your

teams will create value for advertisers, creators, and the broader podcast ecosystem.

We are looking for someone who truly enjoys developing and growing people. Leadership, communication, and relationship-building

skills are among your strengths. We also believe that you advocate agile software development and engineering best practices. It's

important that you are curious and can adapt quickly and enjoy a dynamic and ever-changing environment. The team’s systems are

mainly written in TypeScript and Infrastructure runs in AWS so you are expected to be familiar with these technologies. In this

role, you will be expected to stay connected to the team’s daily work and be a technical leader with the respect of your team. For

this important teams we are seeking someone with solid experience and a strong track record of building and leading

high-performing teams, and managing stakeholder relationships.

Most of our teams are hybrids with some members co-located in offices and some working remotely. For this role you can work remote

within Sweden, or based out of our central Stockholm office.

Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants

Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy,

continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we

strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome.
