Career & Market Insight

This role sits at the intersection of audio advertising operations and growth marketing — a niche with accelerating demand as podcast ad spend continues to grow (projected to exceed $4B annually in the US by 2026). Experience here is highly transferable to agencies, DTC brands, and media networks.

Compensation check: The $65K–$95K base is roughly in line with mid-market ad ops roles, though specialists with 3–5 years in audio-specific ops at large brands can often command $90K–$110K+ at comparable companies. The performance bonus adds upside, making total comp competitive at the high end of the range.

Skills you'll develop or deepen:

  • Audio ad tech tooling (Podscribe, Magellan) — growing niche skills with limited supply
  • Large-scale IO and budget management across hundreds of shows
  • AI-driven workflow automation — explicitly encouraged here
  • Cross-functional collaboration across strategy, finance, and compliance

Green flags: BetterHelp is fully funded (Teladoc Health subsidiary), not a cash-strapped startup. The team explicitly promotes sustainable work/life balance and invests in professional development. The role offers broad scope — you won't be siloed.

Watch for: "Hundreds of shows" and large-scale operations can mean high-volume, detail-intensive work. If you thrive on systems-building and process improvement rather than strategic media buying, this is a strong fit. If you want more creative/strategy ownership, the role may feel operational-heavy.

Who are we and why should you join us?

Founded in 2013, we are now the world's largest online therapy service, providing affordable and convenient therapy across the globe.

And we're not stopping there – as the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to being part of the solution.

As the Ad Operations Specialist, Audio at BetterHelp, you'll join a diverse team of licensed clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. As a mental health company, we take employee mental health just as seriously as we do our mission. We deeply invest in our team's well-being and professional development, because we know that business and individual growth go hand-in-hand. At BetterHelp, you'll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.

What are we looking for?

BetterHelp is one of the largest podcast advertisers in the world, and we've been hard at work scaling Radio and Streaming as well. We're looking for someone to help us manage and continue to evolve our ad operations for podcast, radio, and digital radio advertising strategies in our US and Non-US markets. You are organized and can manage a large number of moving pieces and deadlines.

You have experience with advertising operations, preferably in audio. You are knowledgeable on the processes of advertising involving media flighting, creative, campaign launch, and billing/reconciling. You can help manage information for hundreds of shows from an operational standpoint. You are innovative, utilize AI to improve efficiency where it makes sense, and are open-minded to creating new solutions. You love a challenge and are a great team player.

What will you do?

  • Work alongside the Audio Strategy team by managing all operations related to our podcast, radio, and digital radio advertising in US and Non-US markets, including:
    • IO & Budget Management: Process insertion orders by entering buy data into our systems, generate PO order numbers with the accounting department, and assist with billing/reconciling at end of month to ensure all partners are paid correctly and on time.
    • Develop & Maintain QA Management: Help ensure that our ads run correctly by utilizing QA and pixel tools like Podscribe.
    • Compliance: Manage compliance efforts for our channels, ranging from brand safety checks on new partners to ensuring all creative is compliance-approved and all shows are adhering to our policies.
    • Help create new workflows and systems to keep our department evolving with AI and new tools for management and tracking of documents, information, and processes.
  • Enjoy great teamwork, have lots of fun, and take pride in building a world-class business that makes a difference in people's lives.
  • Bring the big ideas.

What will you NOT do?

  • You will NOT worry about "runway", "cash left", or "how much time we have until the next round". We have the startup DNA but we're fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
  • You will NOT be confined to your "job". You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
  • You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
  • You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.
