- Manage ongoing programming updates, merchandising, and testing hypotheses to improve storefront performance
- Build and maintain editorial calendars aligned with regional cultural moments, publishing cycles, and cross-functional initiatives
- Partner closely with Growth, Marketing, PR, Product, Engineering, and Operations to elevate audiobooks across key moments
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with publishers to stay ahead of upcoming releases and catalog priorities
- Evaluate titles objectively and make programming decisions grounded in audience relevance, cultural resonance, and business context
- Use research, cultural insights, and data to continuously refine discovery strategies
