ABOUT THE TEAM

The Audible Fintech (Paymen. Tech) team owns the systems that power royalty payments, recoupable advances, and financial reporting across all of Audible's marketplaces. We build and operate the full payment pipeline — from ingesting royalty transactions, to orchestrating disbursements, to creating vendor invoices and payments in Workday — giving us end-to-end accountability for every dollar Audible pays its content partners.

We are migrating Audible's financial systems onto Amazon's Digital Acceleration (DA) platform, unifying contract management, royalty payments, advances, and reporting into a single, scalable, and auditable ecosystem. We are building next-generation, no-touch payment and accounting systems with compliance and auditability built in by default, so Audible's finance teams can focus on driving the business forward rather than managing operational friction.
