We're looking for an Offline Media Buyer (Audio) to run our podcast and streaming radio buying day-to-day and help sharpen how we think about audio as a channel. Quo is growing fast, and audio is a core part of that growth. This role will help define the next chapter of the channel. You’ll be in the platforms and on calls with reps daily, managing flights end-to-end, surfacing show-level insights, and staying close enough to pacing to catch and fix issues before they show up in a report.
Some of the things you’ll do:
- Own execution of our podcast and streaming radio buys, from trafficking IOs, managing flight dates and creative rotation, with accountability to on-time, accurate delivery and efficiency targets.
- Deliver detailed show-level and network-level performance insights that explain what's working, what's not, and why.
- Monitor pacing and run weekly QA across active campaigns, catching discrepancies, tracking gaps, and delivery issues before they show up in a report, and proactively recommend fixes like budget shifts, show swaps, or creative refreshes.
- Negotiate rates, placements, and added-value/make-goods directly with networks and platforms.
- Source and evaluate new podcast and streaming radio partners to expand our roster, including attending industry events and upfronts to build direct rep relationships.
- Partner with attribution and measurement platforms (ie Podscribe) to track performance and flag anomalies quickly.
- Maintain campaign trackers, media calendars, reporting dashboards, and IO documentation.
- Support creative trafficking, ensuring ad copy and spots meet brand and compliance guidelines before they go live.
About you:
- 2-4 years of experience in media buying, ideally in podcast, radio, or other audio channels.
- Comfortable working inside attribution and reporting tools, and translating data into action.
- Confident negotiating directly with networks and platforms.
- Agency-side experience (media buying/planning) is a plus.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented.
- Thrives in a fast-moving startup environment and is comfortable with ambiguity.
- Bonus: Experience with Podscribe, AdsWizz, or similar podcast/audio ad tech.
