Who We Are

Podcasts are a rapidly growing medium both in Italy and worldwide, quickly becoming a real global cultural phenomenon. In Italy alone, in 2021 the monthly podcast listeners were over 12 million, with a growth of 21% compared to the previous years. 

VOIS is a podcast creators company. We are leader in the production of podcasts for brands and podcast advertisements, working for creators to deliver a unique type of advertising format based on podcasting. Our shows reach over 22% of the total Italian audience.

In this context and as part of an important growth strategy, we are looking for a talented Account Executive to join our team.

What we are looking for 

You are the right one if you are organized and precise with a strong desire to make other people see the world the way you see it.

Knowing perfectly our media offering, you should be able to collect customers briefs, propose creative formats and manage the project lifecycle including contracts, reporting and project closing. We collaborate with many stakeholders and we're looking for people that strive to create a strong relation with all of them: customers, creatives, podcasters and obviously all internal teams. 

Maybe you're already feeling you're the right one. That sounds great! 

But before reading further, please keep in mind

We are not looking for 'employees', we are looking for founders. Being a founder for us doesn't mean starting a new company, but to be the culture-creator of your own team. We are looking for people who want everyday to create their version of the world through their actions. 

We base every action on our values: authenticity, trust and closeness. That means that from day one we'll give you trust and we'll expect the same from you. So, don't exact starting a new day with someone organizing your agenda: you manage priorities, deadlines and resources and you take full responsibility on these. You should be ready to receive a direct feedback and to do the same with your peers.

Lastly, in VOIS you will be skyrocketed in a startup culture with fast-paced deliverables and deadlines. Our projects will need all these capabilities and this mindset and please don't read further if you don't feel like it's for you!
