• Collaborate with Sales on pre-sale conversations where operational feasibility or timelines are relevant.
• Provide Sales with clear, timely updates on campaign status and act as a bridge between Sales and execution-side teams.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Deep knowledge of the podcast and digital video industry, including how advertising is sold, executed, and measured across sponsorship formats.
• Demonstrated ability to build processes and systems from the ground up in a fast-moving environment.
• Exceptional organizational skills — you are the person others come to when they need to know what is happening and why.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; able to communicate clearly and diplomatically with both internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Experience with project management tools (e.g., Asana, Airtable, or similar) and comfort working with data and reporting.
