About Earselect

Earselect is a tech-forward production partner for the modern publishing world and an independent subsidiary of Storytel . We bridge the gap between traditional storytelling and cutting-edge technology, specializing in high-quality audio production, AI-driven narration, and global digital distribution. We are a small team where every person’s input counts. We pride ourselves on being fast, flexible, and always focused on what’s next.

About Astrid

Astrid is our internally developed, proprietary online platform that serves as the heart of our audio production and distribution processes. It is a sophisticated platform that manages everything from scheduling, audio recording, audio editing and AI narration to complex metadata distribution and financial reporting. As we scale our international footprint, Astrid is the engine driving our innovation.

The Role

We are seeking a Platform Owner to act as the 'Orchestrator' for Astrid. You’ll be the crucial bridge between our business stakeholders and our engineering teams, translating commercial needs into a clear technical plan that makes sense for everyone. You won't just be managing a to-do list; your job is to align different perspectives, ensure the platform delivers reliable and scalable value, and keep our small-team agility intact.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Lifecycle: Owning the lifecycle of the platform, including enhancements, upgrades, integrations, and decommissioning.

Backlog Planning: Take high-level project goals from our internal "Astrid Forum" and break them down into well-defined, actionable technical requirements.

Roadmapping: Create and maintain a transparent product roadmap that provides the business with predictable release dates and clear visibility into the "when" and "how" of platform evolution.

Stakeholder Partnership: Act as the primary partner for our business leads (Sales, Production, Distribution as well as Clients), helping them define their needs and prioritizing them against the company’s strategic goals.

Optimizing Delivery: Ensure the development team has a clear, distraction-free path to execute. You handle the "pre-work" and requirement gathering so the engineers can focus on building world-class technology.

Process Ownership: Own the project management tools (Jira) and the release cycle, ensuring every new feature is tested, documented, and successfully rolled out to users.
