• Design and implement improvements to the company’s ongoing processes and way of working, facilitating decision-making process across teams
  
• Have a thorough understanding of our markets, the industry landscape and competitor activities to recommend adjustments to strategies and operations
  
• Prepare and present regular reports on progress and performance against strategic objectives to senior management
  
  

This is you

You’ll thrive in this role if you have a strong analytical mindset, a bias towards execution and excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate clearly, openly, and respectfully to gain buy-in and understanding from your stakeholders.

Experience we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in management consulting, operations, or strategy roles, ideally in high-growth companies

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to influence cross-functionally and work with a range of different stakeholders
  
• Strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel skills and basic SQL knowledge
  
  

Naturally, being passionate and knowledgeable about podcasts, audio content, media, and entertainment is a big plus!

These are the benefits

• Up to six months of fully paid parental leave for all new parents - no matter how you identify or where in the world you live
