Working within our recently established global structure, this role will partner with the Global Media Center (GMC) and channel teams to drive enterprise‑wide value through standardized processes, best‑practice sharing, and strategic partner relationships. The role requires deep expertise across awareness and performance media channels, and will play an integral role in advancing our global media capabilities through growth enablement and operational excellence. The role will work very closely with the GMC lead and channel marketers, coordinating across functional teams inside and outside of marketing.

• Develop overarching policy, principles, process, and best practices across media for leadership approval and help local teams implement across Audible services.
• Develop strategy for multi‑marketplace initiatives.
• Partner with Analytics to improve media measurement framework and redefine metrics of success.
• Collaborate with channel owners and measurement partners to create and execute an annual testing roadmap, aligning key stakeholders on priorities, timelines, and resource allocation.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to design and execute strategic test campaigns beyond BAU media activity.
• Partner with key media partners (e.g., Google, Meta, TikTok) to develop and execute joint business plans, ensuring clear tracking of initiatives and regular progress reviews against objectives.
• Facilitate a cohesive media community for shared learning, training, and development.
• Work with emerging territories to implement best practices and the media playbook.
• Ensure updated channel mapping structure is maintained across Audible services and work with product to implement any required changes or updates.
• Analyze key marketing metrics and help set guardrails based on Audible service maturity (e.g., marketing as a percentage of revenue).
• Work with GMC lead to define global strategic priorities for media agency and vendors.
• Compile and manage a media agency performance program, operating across all marketplaces, working with global lead and key stakeholders across teams and regions.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with experience in integrated media strategies, understands how awareness and performance channels work together, and has a proven track record of driving key performance metrics and building full‑funnel approaches.

• Experience working with multiple groups of stakeholders.
• Experience managing multiple projects and meeting aggressive deadlines.
• Experience in project management, including resource planning, managing schedules, reporting project status, and prioritizing tasks.
• Experience with all media channels and a media generalist background.
• Experience tracking customer journey across multiple channels and tactics.
