Since the beginning of podcasting, we've been here building the playbook, setting the standards, and scaling brands through the power of audio and creator-driven media. Today, we manage campaigns across podcasts, radio, streaming audio, YouTube, and emerging creator platforms for clients that include half of the top advertisers in podcasting.
What really sets us apart? We're not just buying media. We're shaping the market itself.
Our thought leadership defines the conversation. Our newsletter reaches thousands of industry decision-makers every week. Our podcast, The Media Roundtable, convenes the most influential voices in audio advertising. Our annual Chief Audio Officer Summit is the premier gathering for marketers, platforms, and creators shaping the future of the medium. Our research, from attribution methodologies to brand safety frameworks, becomes industry standard.
We don't wait for the market to tell us what's next. We build it.
This requires a different kind of agency. One built on three core values: Humility (mission over ego), Insight (turning intelligence into market impact), and Ownership (delivering the outcome, whatever it takes). We're practitioners first. People who've placed over 200,000 brand integrations, managed billions in media spend, and proven that audio works when strategy, creative, and measurement align.
If you want to work somewhere that floods the zone with words for SEO over meaning, this isn't it. If you want to work somewhere that publishes thought leadership the way most agencies publish blog posts, this isn't it either.
But if you want to work somewhere that operates like a media company and an agency, where what we publish moves markets, changes minds, and establishes the standards others follow, keep reading.
The Role
This is not a content coordinator job. This is not a newsletter manager's job. This is the role that ensures Oxford Road's voice stays sharp, distinct, and impossible to ignore.
You'll be the engine behind how we tell our story to the world. You'll own the content roadmap, shape the editorial strategy, and make sure every piece of work we publish, be it a case study, a white paper, a newsletter, or a keynote, reflects the quality and authority that define this organization.
You'll work with some of the smartest people in the industry: strategists who see around corners, buyers who move millions of dollars, analysts who turn data into edge. Your job is to extract what they know, turn it into narratives that matter, and publish work that doesn't just inform, it influences.
You'll also herd cats. Lots of them. Busy, opinionated, brilliant cats who have insights worth sharing but not always the time or structure to share them. You'll need to pull signal from noise, meet hard deadlines when the stakes are high, and operate with the kind of ownership that makes the outcome yours, whatever it takes to deliver.
This role reports to the Senior Director of Marketing Operations, but you'll work closely with our CEO and function with significant autonomy. You'll be a strategic partner to our leadership, a collaborator across every department, and the person who makes sure we never publish anything that feels generic, templated, or forgettable.
What You'll Do Own the content engine from vision to execution. Build and manage Oxford Road's annual content roadmap. Align it with business priorities, campaign launches, major events, and market opportunities. Make sure we're publishing with intention, not just filling a calendar.
Turn practitioners into thought leaders. Our people are in the arena every day, negotiating deals, analyzing performance, solving problems no one else has solved. Capture what they're learning. Shape it into stories, frameworks, and insights that strengthen our position as the authority in audio and creator media.
Produce work that moves markets. Write, edit, and publish newsletters, case studies, white papers, event content, podcast scripts, webinar decks, and social campaigns. Everything you touch should be sharp, clear, and built to perform. The goal is to produce outcomes, not content.
Lead high-impact launches and campaigns. When we release new research, host an event, or take a public stance on an industry issue, you'll own the narrative. Build the story, coordinate the assets, and make sure the launch lands with impact.
Maintain our editorial voice and standards. Every message we publish should sound like us. Confident but not arrogant. Data-driven but not dry. Clear but not dumbed down. You'll be the guardian of that voice, ensuring consistency and quality across every platform and channel.
Collaborate without compromise. Work with internal teams (strategy, media, creative, analytics) and external partners (clients, publishers, vendors) to amplify our presence and tell stories no one else can tell. Build relationships that unlock better content and broader reach.
Measure what matters. Track content performance. Analyze engagement. Understand what's working and what's not. Use data to refine strategy, improve quality, and prove the value of what we're building.
Build systems that scale. Document workflows. Optimize tools. Create processes that accelerate, optimize, and automate content production. Build infrastructure that lets us do more without sacrificing quality.
What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)
- A strategic content calendar is running, aligned with business goals, campaigns, and key industry moments.
- A repeatable pipeline for thought leadership and case studies is built and producing consistently.
- Core workflows for content creation, review, and approval are documented, scalable, and running smoothly.
- Oxford Road's editorial voice is distinct, recognizable, and showing up everywhere that matters.
- Content is delivered on time, with excellence, and without constant oversight.
- You're recognized internally as a strategic operator who brings structure, creativity, and lasting impact to how we show up in the market.
What You Bring
4–6 years of content strategy, marketing, or communications experience, ideally in media, advertising, or creative industries where the standards are high and the deadlines are real.
Exceptional writing and editing skills. You have a voice. You know good work from bad work. You can write for different audiences, formats, and objectives without losing clarity or impact. You have a portfolio that proves it.
Strategic thinking. You connect the dots between business goals and content initiatives. You understand how a case study supports a sales conversation, how a white paper builds authority, and how a newsletter keeps us top of mind.
Proven project management ability. You've managed complex, multi-stakeholder projects and delivered high-quality work on deadline. You know how to keep things moving without letting quality slip.
Systems and process orientation. You've built or improved workflows that make teams more efficient and outputs more consistent. You think about scale, not just execution.
Ability to lead and collaborate. You can work with freelancers, vendors, and internal contributors effectively. You know when to push, when to coach, and when to step in and do it yourself.
Data-driven mindset. You use insights to guide decisions. You test, measure, and optimize. You care about what works, not just what looks good.
Comfort with AI tools, but not dependent on them. You'll use AI for efficiency, speed, and scale. But you also know when to pick up the pen and do the work yourself. You understand the difference between assistance and autopilot.
Why This Role Matters
Thought leadership is our competitive advantage. It's how we win clients, shape the industry, and build the relationships that matter. This role is the engine that powers all of that.
You'll have visibility across leadership, ownership of a critical function to our growth, and the opportunity to build something that lasts. You'll work at a company that's defining the future of audio and creator advertising, and you'll have a hand in telling that story.
We've built strong publisher relationships that open doors. That access was earned through years of showing up, delivering results, and doing what we said we'd do. This role ensures that continues.
Our Commitment Oxford Road is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
