About Acast

Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen—across any podcast app or listening platform.

About the role

We are looking for an Operations Lead to join our growing international team. Reporting to the Director of Sales International, you will oversee our Planning & Campaign Management function and support the growing need for centralised campaign operations and post-sale management.

Sitting at the heart of our commercial team, you will ensure campaigns move seamlessly from sale to execution across our international network. You will lead the Planning & Campaign Management team, personally oversee our largest strategic campaigns, and drive operational excellence.

Working closely with creators, clients, Sales, Creative, Product, and Operations teams, you will introduce scalable processes that boost efficiency, enable business growth, and support the rollout of new advertising products. You’ll act as a strategic partner to the commercial team, ensuring exceptional execution that deepens client relationships and drives repeat business.

What you’ll do

  • Team Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the Planning & Campaign Management team to foster a high-performing and engaged culture.
  • Strategic Campaign Execution: Personally oversee the planning and delivery of the International team’s largest, most complex campaigns.
  • Process & Efficiency: Identify workflow inefficiencies and build scalable, documented best practices for campaign planning, execution, and reporting.
  • Reporting & Insights: Maintain robust post-campaign processes, delivering high-quality Post-Campaign Analyses (PCAs) and Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) for key accounts.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Creator Networks, Sales Leadership, Creative, and Regional MDs to optimize delivery, maximize inventory, and hit commercial goals.
  • Product & Tech Rollouts: Partner with Global Product and Operations teams to seamlessly implement new technology, ad products, and operational tools across International markets.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
