About The Position

Studio Content Operations is seeking a Vice President of Media Operations to lead the next evolution of FOX Entertainment’s content supply chain, spanning content readiness, localization, QC, servicing, delivery, and AI-enabled workflow modernization. The Vice President, Media Operations will be responsible for building a faster, more scalable, and more technology-enabled media operation that can support increasing volume, more varied content formats, and greater operational complexity without relying on headcount growth as the primary solution. The mandate is clear: simplify the operating model, reduce manual coordination, modernize workflows, and use AI, automation, and better systems to increase capacity, speed, quality, and visibility across the end-to-end content pipeline. This role requires you to be comfortable with disruption, able to challenge legacy ways of working, and capable of moving teams from manual execution toward technology-enabled operating discipline. You will bring strong judgment, operational rigor, high standards, and the ability to lead through ambiguity while keeping the business moving. This is a senior leadership role for you to set context, make hard tradeoffs, build alignment, and deliver measurable operating leverage. Regular, on-site attendance at the workplace for a minimum of four (4) days per week is an essential function of the position. The selected candidate must be able to reliably meet this requirement.

12+ years of progressive leadership experience in media operations, digital supply chain, content distribution, localization, or related functions
Experience leading complex global operations with accountability for delivery performance, budgets, vendors, systems, and cross-functional execution
Experience leading teams through significant operational, organizational, or technology-driven change
Experience evaluating technology vendors, platform capabilities, integration requirements, and production readiness
Proven track record in redesigning workflows, implementing technology-enabled operating models, and driving measurable efficiency gains
Strong understanding of workflow automation, AI-enabled operational tooling, and modern content operations systems
Deep understanding of media localization, distribution, rights management, QC, servicing, and delivery operations
Understanding of operational and compliance considerations related to AI-assisted media workflows
Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows, orchestration platforms, automation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop operating models
Familiarity with global content workflows, international delivery requirements, distribution windows, and evolving content formats
Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic and executional levels in a fast-moving, matrixed environment
Ability to evaluate where AI can create real operating leverage across media workflows, including metadata, QC, localization, reporting, asset readiness, and delivery validation
Ability to distinguish practical, scalable technology from demo-stage capability
Knowledge of APIs, cloud-based infrastructure, media asset management systems, rights management systems, and enterprise workflow platforms
