  • Deliver monthly reporting on all podcast activity, costs, and revenue.
  • Evidence that with new processes, products, and pricing we can win more commercial creative revenues from podcasts.
  • Represent Bauer's podcast capabilities at industry events and forums to raise our profile.
  • What you will bring

    The ideal candidate will be proactive and willing to implement innovative solutions & develop new commercial products & formats in the podcast space, aligning with Bauer's ambition to create new 360 media brands out of podcasts.

  • A strong understanding of the changing media landscape.
  • A track record of working on complex audio led partnerships that include podcasts, social video & talent.
  • Strong understanding of the commercial podcast market.
  • Experience at selling 360 brands with extensive experience of selling social video formats.
  • Experience at senior stakeholder management.
  • Collaborative problem solving to achieve mutually beneficial solutions.
  • Management of high-volume workload in a complex, fast paced and ever moving sales environment.
  • Be able to adapt positively to an ever-evolving agenda.
