Help shape the future of the Sonic Radioboom Network
We're looking for a creative strategic thinker to work alongside our founder, helping develop new ideas, plan exciting projects and support the growth of our independent online radio and media network.
What difference will you make?
Sonic Radioboom is entering an exciting new stage of development. Alongside our flagship station, we're expanding into additional community radio brands, podcasts and other creative projects.
As our Founder leads the overall vision, we're looking for someone who can act as a trusted strategic partner- helping us evaluate ideas, identify opportunities and develop sustainable plans for the future.
Your contribution will help us build stronger communities, support independent artists and creators, and ensure our growth is carefully planned rather than rushed.
This role offers the opportunity to genuinely influence the future direction of an ambitious volunteer-led media network while working alongside a passionate team that wants to create something lasting.
