Quo is growing fast, and audio is a core part of that growth. We've backed it with real investment: dedicated budget, measurement, and a team built to scale it. This role will help define the next chapter of the channel. You'll be in the platforms and on calls with reps daily, not just reviewing recaps after the fact. You'll manage flights end-to-end, surface the show-level insights that make our targeting and creative sharper, and stay close enough to pacing that you're catching and fixing issues before they ever show up in a weekly report. You'll negotiate rates and placements directly with networks and platforms, bring final terms to your manager for sign-off, and help grow our partner roster by sourcing new shows and building rep relationships at industry events and upfronts. You'll join our Paid Growth team and report directly to our Senior Offline Marketing Manager, who owns overall audio and offline media strategy. If you're looking for a pure strategy seat, this probably isn't the right fit. If you love being hands-on with buys, deep in performance data, and building real relationships with the networks and reps you work with, we'd love to meet you. 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 - Go beyond top-line reporting: 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 — you're stepping into relationships an agency used to hold - Agency-side experience (media buying/planning) is a plus — you understand how networks and platforms operate from both sides of the table - Highly organized and detail-oriented — you catch pacing issues and creative errors before they become problems - Thrives in a fast-moving startup environment and is comfortable with ambiguity - Bonus: Experience with Podscribe, AdsWizz, or similar podcast/audio ad tech ## Compensation The annual base salary range for this position is as follow, plus equity and benefits: - SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Boston, New York, and Washington, DC Metro: $129,000 - $152,000 USD - All other US Locations: $117,000 - $137,000 USD - Canada: $118,000 - $139,000 CAD The ranges displayed reflect the target for new hire salaries, and within each range, individual pay is determined by your skills and experience, as well as relevant education. Your recruiter can share more and answer questions about the specific salary range during the hiring process. Salary is just one component of Quo’s total compensation package. Your total rewards package will include equity, extensive medical coverage, a monthly lifestyle stipend, and a flexible PTO policy. ## About Quo ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Quo (formerly OpenPhone) provides a shared business phone and inbox with AI capabilities to help small businesses manage customer communications and build stronger relationships. - **Entity Type**: Private (startup; backed by Y Combinator; raised $105M in recent funding) - **Headquarters**: Remote-first; historically based in San Francisco, CA, USA (inferred from OpenPhone history) - **Founded**: 2018 - **Founders**: Mahyar Raissi and Daryna Kulya ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Business communication software (VoIP, AI-powered customer engagement) - **Target customers**: B2B, primarily small and medium businesses (SMBs) - **Mission**: To fuel an economic renaissance by giving the 99.9% of businesses that are small the modern, intuitive tools they need to make a lasting impact ## Products & Services - **[Quo Platform]**: A unified business phone and inbox for calls, texts, and customer management.
