This role will serve as a strategic connector across Editorial, Product, Consumer Marketing, Advertising, Commerce, and other key functions, championing audience priorities and ensuring alignment with our global and US strategy and KPIs. The ideal candidate is both a strategic thinker and a hands‑on leader—someone who can see the big picture, bring people together around common goals, and turn data and insights into action. A deep passion for and understanding of our audiences and core editorial categories is essential, as is the ability to operate effectively at the intersection of editorial, audience development, product, project management, consumer marketing, and commercial strategy. The successful candidate will be both a strategic leader and an expert practitioner‑combining analytical rigor with strong creative, editorial and commercial instincts, and translating audience insight into actionable strategies that drive growth, deepen engagement and strengthen the long‑term impact of the organization. This role will also oversee a global team tasked with unified content planning, cross‑market content sharing and adaptation, audience and analytics enablement, operational best practices, and the integration of emerging technology and AI into content workflows to maximize brand growth and monetization. This role is based in New York and reports to the Chief Content Operations Officer.

• Maximize the value of our content globally by finding opportunities to share, adapt, and distribute content across markets while keeping it relevant to local audiences.
• Help the organization make smarter trade-offs by bringing audience and business perspectives to major strategic decisions and cross‑functional initiatives—for example, understanding the potential impact of paywalls, distribution choices, or content investment.
• Build a culture of experimentation by identifying new opportunities, testing ideas quickly, and scaling the approaches that demonstrate meaningful impact.
• Turn data into action by making performance insights accessible, actionable, and relevant to leaders across the organization—including supporting needs around legal claims and compliance.
• Create alignment across teams by bringing together stakeholders with different priorities and helping establish shared goals, metrics, and ways of working.
• Lead global Audience Strategy and Planning & Practices teams, overseeing Audience Strategy & Analytics, SEO, Creative Optimization, Newsletter & Email Operations, Central Content Planning, Content Sharing, and Translation & Adaptation.

What You Bring

• Significant leadership experience in content, audience development, digital media, publishing, entertainment, or a related field.
• A strong understanding of how content, audiences, platforms, product, and revenue come together to drive business growth.
• A strong understanding of the media industry landscape.
• A track record of using data and insights to improve content performance and audience growth.
• Excellent proactive storytelling skills, especially to very senior stakeholders.
• Experience leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives and influencing senior stakeholders.
