Reporting to the Chief Brand Officer, you'll work with internal teams (e.g., Content, Marketing, Research, Product), podcast creators, and external partners to support and advance Wondery's IP in the dynamic podcast industry. An entrepreneurial mindset, adaptability, and comfort with ambiguity are crucial for this role.
