Description

Sell what you love. For us and millions of users across the globe, that’s Spotify. Join the Sales team and you’ll build the relationships that help grow our business in existing markets and beyond. We don’t just sell creative solutions to our clients and partners, we help to shape them; using our expert knowledge of ad products, sales channels and the industry to impact the way the world experiences music and podcasts. 

Podcast Sales Strategy & Solutions (PS3) is the operational engine behind Spotify’s podcast advertising business. We work across sales, content, talent, and operations to bring podcast advertising to life — from ad formats and approvals to booking operations, sales enablement, and new show launches.

We’re looking for a Senior Program Manager to own key podcast ad operations across The Ringer portfolio. You’ll connect Spotify’s sales organization with content, talent, and operations teams, keeping high-volume approvals and booking workflows moving while helping our sales teams understand what can run, where, and when. You’ll be close to the full lifecycle of podcast advertising and help make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

What You'll Do

  • Own Integrated Solutions approvals and vetting across The Ringer podcast portfolio, triaging incoming sponsorship requests, coordinating with the right partners, and tracking requests through resolution.
  • Maintain a clear view of approvals across formats and shows, including what is approved, declined, pending, or escalated.
  • Be a day-to-day partner to sales teams on approval timelines, show availability, booking logistics, and podcast advertising formats, and help resolve campaign-specific blockers.
  • Serve as a key connection between Spotify’s sales organization and The Ringer Studios Business Operations team, translating new formats, processes, and advertising products into clear operational plans.
  • Manage The Ringer Podcast Booking Calendar, including inbound holds and bookings, new shows, editorial calendar updates, and post-sale booking changes.
  • Coordinate the PS3 workstream for new Ringer show launches, partnering across pricing, talent preferences, Creative Operations, sales enablement, and go-to-market readiness.
  • Support new advertising format rollouts and maintain accurate sales resources, including show sheets, FAQs, format guidance, booking tools, and other enablement materials.
  • Use campaign, booking, inventory, and revenue information to identify discrepancies, surface recurring questions, and improve how the team operates.

    • Who You Are

  • You have 4+ years of experience in media operations, advertising operations, sales support, program management, or another coordination-heavy environment.
  • You’re comfortable partnering closely with sales teams and can translate what a seller needs into clear operational next steps.
  • You understand the relationship between content and advertising and can navigate situations where talent preferences, brand suitability, format requirements, and commercial needs intersect.
  • You’re highly organized and have a reliable approach to managing multiple open requests, dependencies, and deadlines at once.
  • You communicate clearly and concisely across different audiences, from sales partners and talent representatives to content and operations teams.
  • You’re comfortable working with data and revenue information, maintaining trackers, running reports, and identifying discrepancies.
  • You’re comfortable with tools such as spreadsheets, Asana, Coda, Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, and AI-enabled tools, and can learn new systems quickly.
  • You bring a collaborative, adaptable approach and are comfortable pitching in across a small team with a broad remit. Experience with podcast advertising, digital audio, media sales operations, talent approvals, or The Ringer ecosystem can help you get up to speed quickly.

    • Where You'll Be

  • This role is based in Los Angeles or New York.
  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
