Audible Limited (UK) - B14 Opportunities

Full Job Description

At Audible, we believe stories have the power to transform lives. It’s why we work with some of the world’s leading creators to produce and share audio storytelling with our millions of global listeners. We are dreamers and inventors who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to empower and inspire each other. Imagine your future with us.

ABOUT THIS ROLE You'll be the operational backbone of Audible's Content International and Innovations team — bridging creative ambition and delivery reality by turning big ideas into structured, executable plans. Responsible for the day-to-day execution of innovative initiatives, you'll work directly with our global production teams to bring them to life. Reporting to the Head of International and Innovations and working closely with the Content Innovation Lead, you will bring together engineering, product, research, and creative partners around shared projects. Your impact comes through influence without authority; you’ll be the connector who structures ambiguity, keeps projects moving, and helps teams experiment in a true Day 1 environment. This is high-visibility work shaping the future of audio storytelling.

ABOUT YOU You're a builder-producer who thrives on getting from "what if?" to something real you can test. You're a natural team player who enjoys being at the center of action, connecting people across disciplines, and carrying direct accountability for schedules, budgets, and delivery. You're comfortable adapting your communication style — whether you're aligning creative teams or unblocking technical workstreams — and you're energized by high-stakes, fast-moving environments.

As an Associate Director, Content Innovation, you will...

• Lead delivery of technology-driven content experiences and product prototypes from concept through delivery — owning timelines, resources, and risk across a portfolio scaling from initial projects to multiple concurrent workstreams, working cross-functionally with production, Content Innovation Lead and Product and Tech teams
• Translate creative and research ideas into clear production plans, partnering with the Head of International and Innovation, the Content Innovation Lead, and the Content Production team to scope, prioritize, and execute initiatives in partnership with Product and Design
• Coordinate cross-functional contributions from product managers, engineers, data scientists, and content teams across regions — keeping content workstreams aligned, unblocked, and moving at pace, and building consensus when priorities compete
• Stay on top of emerging technologies and creative tools, helping design production pipelines that integrate automation and experimental workflows into Audible's content creation process
• Capture learnings, synthesize insights, and represent the team's work in business reviews and senior leadership forums with clarity and credibility

ABOUT AUDIBLE Audible is the leading producer and provider of audio storytelling. We spark listeners’ imaginations, offering immersive, cinematic experiences full of inspiration and insight to enrich our customers daily lives. We are a global company with an entrepreneurial spirit. We are dreamers and inventors who are passionate about the positive impact Audible can make for our customers and our neighbors. This spirit courses throughout Audible, supporting a culture of creativity and inclusion built on our People Principles and our mission to build more equitable communities in the cities we call home.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams
• Background in content production and/or content roles within audio, digital media, interactive, gaming, or technology-led environments — with experience delivering complex projects involving both creative and technical dependencies
• Understanding of production and post-production pipelines, ideally in original content or podcasting environments
• Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with direct accountability for schedules, budgets, vendor relationships, and delivery outcomes
• Experience with production and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Airtable, Confluence)
• Experience with modern technology and tooling in content creation and digital product development — sufficient to bridge between content creative & content production as well as product and engineering teams
• Experience communicating across disciplines, translating between creative, product, and technical audiences at varying levels of seniority

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in streaming, audio, gaming, interactive narrative, or broader entertainment-tech contexts — particularly with immersive or non-linear content formats
• Experience knowing when to resolve issues independently and when to escalate — bringing a clear recommendation and path forward
• Experience defining and tracking success metrics to measure project outcomes and inform prioritization
• Hands-on experience with creative coding, prototyping tools, scripting (e.g., Python, JavaScript), or automation in media workflows is a nice-to-have
• Experience operating in 0-to-1 or emerging format work — building process and structure in ambiguous, fast-moving experimental spaces
• Familiarity with product development workflows, including product design, UX/UI, and discovery processes — sufficient to anticipate dependencies across creative, design, and engineering teams
