Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and scale a multi-layered leadership team - including Directors and VPs - creating the conditions for them to thrive, make decisions autonomously, and grow into the next generation of leaders at the company.
• Set the organizational structure and team design for the Media function, making deliberate decisions about how the team is built, layered, and resourced to support a multi-year content strategy - not just today's roadmap.
• You Own the day-to-day of a multifaceted, talented, and international team. When something slips, you’re the one who catches it before it becomes a problem.
• Lead day-to-day operations of the Content and Media teams, ensuring productions run on schedule, resources are allocated effectively, and output quality is consistently high across all platforms (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, social, and editorial).
• Own the content calendar, production pipelines, and cross-functional workflows that keep a high-volume, multi-platform media operation running smoothly.
• Drive accountability. Set goals, track KPIs, clear blockers, hold people to commitments. This isn’t a “set the vision and delegate” role, you’re in the details day in and day out.
• Drive operational accountability across the team—set clear goals, track KPIs, remove blockers, and ensure leaders and individual contributors deliver on commitments.
• Care obsessively about what our community experiences. Review content, flag quality issues, and cultivate a culture where everyone takes ownership of the brand’s voice and standard.
• Serve as the strategic bridge between content and commercial partnerships - ensuring that sponsorship deals, brand integrations, and activations are packaged holistically with content IP, creator relationships, event tie-ins, and community value at their core.
• Collaborate closely with our Business Development and Partnerships leads (who handle deal execution) to make sure commercial opportunities are enriched with content that is authentic and impactful.

Preferred

• 10+ years of experience in content, media, or digital entertainment with progressive leadership responsibility, including P&L ownership of large, multi-functional teams.
• Demonstrated experience as a leader of leaders - you have managed Directors, VPs, and senior individual contributors, and have a track record of developing executive-level talent, not just managing it.
• Proven track record of delivering content and IP at scale - you’ve built or run a content engine at a platform, media company, or brand (think Twitch, YouTube, Snapchat, a major sports league, or a high-growth digital-native brand).
• Experience shaping organizational strategy: you've made or meaningfully influenced decisions about team structure, hiring philosophy, and long-term capability building at the department or division level.
• Deep operational excellence: you run things on time, on budget, and at a quality bar that sets the standard. You are not primarily a creative or strategist - you are the person who makes the machine hum.
• Experience packaging business deals that combine content, talent, and media assets into holistic commercial partnerships. You understand the intersection of editorial integrity and commercial value.
• An industry network that opens doors. You know creators, platform executives, brand marketers, and media buyers - and they take your call.
