About The Position
Warner Bros. Discovery is building unique Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) experiences around the world. Delivering products globally requires a robust content & metadata platform to serve as the foundation for content that flows to our worldwide partners, networks, and distribution channels. As the strategic leader for this global content platform, you will partner with the distribution platform to power a transformation of Warner Bros. Discovery enabling the future of interactive & personalized video experiences for global audiences spanning 220 countries.

You understand how the media industry is evolving to enhance these workflows using powerful new tools, and you have direct experience working with or within major media companies who source and deliver the assets required to fulfill content to linear, direct-to-consumer, and licensees across multiple lines of business.

Lastly, you are a highly independent and self-directed individual who is comfortable navigating complex and ambiguous situations, proactively identifying opportunities and driving solutions with minimal oversight.
