Junior Dialect Voice Analyst

Podeo is the largest & leading podcast platform in the Middle East & North Africa, on a mission to unlock the potential of the human voice by amplifying audio content to billions of ears. Podeo enables the entire podcasting value-chain through unique proprietary products built for creators, listeners and advertisers.

Podeo has firmly solidified its position as the unrivaled leader in the audio value-chain, powering over 50 million listeners worldwide and expanding regional podcast supply by 50x to over 100,000 creators in less than two years — up from a total of 2,000 podcasters prior to Podeo.

We are seeking a linguistically astute and detail-oriented Junior Dialect Voice Analyst to join Podeo's Content Creation Lab. The ideal candidate has an ear finely tuned to the rhythms of spoken Arabic, understands the subtle distinctions that separate Lebanese from Syrian, Egyptian, Gulf, and MSA.

As a Junior Dialect Voice Analyst , you will play a key role in upholding the linguistic integrity of podcast content published across the platform. Reporting to the Head of Content Creation Lab, you will review audio recordings to identify, classify, and document the Arabic dialect represented in each sample, flagging instances of dialect blending, or inconsistencies between spoken content and its transcribed output. Day to day, this means applying evaluation criteria consistently, offering corrections and reference examples to strengthen dialect accuracy, and escalating recurring linguistic patterns to support continuous improvement . You will document your findings using designated QA and reporting tools, and you'll be entrusted with unpublished, proprietary audio content.

Podeo is seeking a native or near-native Arabic speaker with genuine everyday fluency across multiple dialects, and a demonstrated ability to detect subtle regional variations by ear alone. You should be able to distinguish Lebanese from Syrian, Egyptian, Gulf, and MSA on hearing, and be comfortable producing clear, well-structured written observations and reports in Arabic or English.

This role calls for exceptional attention to detail, reliability, and the patience to sustain accuracy through repetitive listening tasks. Previous exposure to audio quality assurance, linguistics, content moderation, transcription, media, or voice technologies is preferred. Working knowledge of Google Workspace, project management tools such as ClickUp, and communication platforms like Slack will help you hit the ground running.
