About This Role

Audible is on a pursuit to have every book available as an audiobook in every language. The Brand & Content Marketing team serves as the strategic architects building meaningful audience experiences that inspire brand consideration and love, translating business objectives into tangible interactions through localised brand narratives, hero titles as well as Audible produced content marketing.

We are looking for a Director, Brand & Content Marketing UK to lead content marketing strategy in the United Kingdom. This people management role focuses on growing Audible's membership through growing customer acquisition and increasing member engagement through brand and content marketing initiatives.

This role owns the marketing strategy for a diverse portfolio of Audible Originals, Exclusives, and third-party titles, co-creating effective paid media campaigns while owning organic and social channels to grow and engage with our community. Many of our hero content launches require a bespoke marketing strategy tailored to its audience, genre, and talent dynamics that this role is responsible for anchoring, together with other marketing teams such as media, creative, influencer teams locally and globally.

While the primary focus is the UK marketplace, this role will also support the Senior Director, B&CM Europe/AU/UK across all Europe and AU marketplaces, as well as partner with global marketing teams to launch titles successfully across multiple Audible marketplaces including the US.

About The Team

The Brand & Content Marketing team is guided by four core values. As Storytellers, the team builds meaningful connections through compelling narratives and brand activations that inspire fandoms. Being Globally-Minded means creating value for listeners everywhere while maintaining awareness of diverse marketplaces and cultural nuances. The team is AI-Forward, leveraging technology to create authentic, scalable relationships with audiences while enhancing human connections. Finally, the team is Data-Driven, measuring success through tangible outcomes including brand metrics, audience growth, engagement rates, and customer advocacy.

About You

You are a content marketing leader with deep experience in marketing content from entertainment providers/services. You know how to craft effective campaigns, working in tandem with other marketing teams such as media, merchandising, acquisition and creative teams. You are equally skilled at growing engaged audiences organically through social-first strategies, experiential activations, and culturally relevant moments as a single threaded owner for these channels. You bring a relentless focus on efficiency, using data to optimise every pound spent across both paid and organic channels.

You reject one-size-fits-all thinking, developing title-specific strategies that are digital first and reflect unique audience and talent dynamics. You know exactly how to use high-profile talent for marketing titles, treating constraints like limited talent time as creative challenges.

You are an exceptional people manager who builds and mentors high-performing teams. You bring outstanding stakeholder management skills, are deeply data-driven, and believe in the power of audio storytelling to reach untapped audiences. You’re skilled at navigating a matrixed organization, building strong cross-functional relationships and collaborating effectively with diverse teams across marketing, content, creative, paid media and analytics, to drive aligned outcomes at scale.
