Associate Director, Delivery Lead - Content Innovation

Job :  | Audible Limited (UK) - B14

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.

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.

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 work streams — and you’re energized by high-stakes, fast-moving environments.

• 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 work streams, 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 work streams 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
