What You'll Do:

• Reporting & Cost Savings: Help produce monthly reports on audience data usage, segment performance, data cost, and margin; distribute month-end data usage reporting to vendors. Support monitoring of Audacy's first-party data performance and assist in reporting on cost savings achieved by reducing reliance on third-party alternatives. Assist with outstanding invoicing questions from vendors and help reconcile data costs against usage.
• GTM & Sales Enablement: Handle incoming RFP and data questionnaire requests from Sales, helping ensure questions related to privacy, data practices, and audience methodology are accurately completed and returned promptly. Help maintain Audacy's Audience Playbook, keeping data capabilities, products, and workflows current so Sales and Operations always have a clear reference.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines across teams without dropping the ball.
• Appreciation for data privacy and the importance of protecting listener data integrity is a must.

• Exposure to programmatic advertising and DSP platforms (e.g., The Trade Desk, DV360) a plus.

More About You:

• The ideal candidate understands the importance of data privacy and is committed to protecting the integrity of Audacy's listener data in everything they do.
• Self-starter who can take initiative, work independently, and drive tasks to completion.
• Clear communicator who can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
