Senior Manager, Audible Strategy and Insights Rotational Program
Newark, NJ
Job Description
Good storytelling starts with great listening. At Audible, that means each role and every project has our audience in mind. Because the
same people who design, develop, and deploy our products also happen to use them. To us, that speaks volumes.
As part of the first cohort of Audible's S&I rotational program, you will spend 18-24 months completing two rotations between the Audible Strategic Initiatives and Global Insights and Data Science (GIDS) teams.
As a Sr. Manager on Strategic Initiatives, you will help plan key forward-looking initiatives, including measuring progress against the three-year strategy and proactively suggesting strategic adjustments. You will directly support the strategy team in partnering with content, marketing, finance, analytics, and technology leadership and the executive team to assess, plan, and enable cross-functional opportunities.
As a Sr. Manager in our Global Insights and Data Science team, you will be responsible for surfacing data-driven strategic opportunities for the Executive Leadership team and for core business functions. You will provide strategic, operational, economic, and financial analysis to frame and drive decisions - and develop KPIs and scorecards to track initiative progress/performance to drive a focus on results and execution.
Critical to the success of this role is your ability to think strategically, develop insights, communicate findings concisely to senior colleagues, and work effectively as part of a cross functional team. Working across the entire business, you will be exposed to a wide range of functions and develop the knowledge and skill to be a trusted advisor across a wide range of issues to our Senior Leaders. The ideal candidate will develop skills, knowledge, and a track-record of success that will eventually result in growth opportunities to lead cross-functional projects/initiatives in any part of the organization.
