About The Position

The FOX direct-to-consumer (DTC) platform is a new, forward-looking initiative within Tubi Media Group that brings FOX’s unparalleled content portfolio, including news, sports, and entertainment, directly to consumers via an innovative subscription streaming service. Driven by a highly experienced leadership team with extensive backgrounds at the intersections of media, technology, streaming, and content, and built with the full support of Fox Corporation, this venture combines entrepreneurial energy with deep media expertise. Our vision is to create a unified, modern viewing experience that puts the consumer first, seamlessly integrating live and on-demand content across platforms. At the intersection of cutting-edge technology and trusted storytelling, this is an opportunity to shape the future of streaming at one of the most pivotal moments in media. We’re assembling a world-class team to deliver on that vision, and we’re just getting started. FOX is looking for a Director, Talent Acquisition, Technology & Direct-to-Consumer to lead recruiting for our Direct-to-Consumer technology organization. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can build trust with senior business leaders, lead a recruiting team, and personally deliver on key product management and technology searches across the organization. In this role, you will lead a small recruiting team across multiple locations while also carrying an active requisition load of approximately 5–10 roles on average, with a focus on product management, product design, and technology hiring. You’ll partner closely with leaders across Product, Engineering, Design, Data, AI, Strategy, Operations, Marketing Technology, and Business Development to help build the teams shaping FOX’s direct-to-consumer future. This role is ideal for a recruiting leader who is both strategic and execution-oriented. You can zoom out to build a hiring strategy, then zoom in to source, screen, calibrate, close, and move work forward. You understand how technology teams are built, how product organizations operate, and how to help leaders make strong talent decisions in competitive markets. You are a builder. You like creating order, but you are not precious about process. You are comfortable leading people and still doing the work. You can coach a recruiter through a hard search in the morning, lead a product intake in the afternoon, and close a strong candidate by the end of the day. You are direct, curious, and resilient, with the ability to challenge hiring leaders respectfully, use data to inform decisions, and move quickly without cutting corners.
