Job Description:Job Title: Head of Programming / Head of Content Job Description: This is a builder's role for someone who enjoys creating structure from ambiguity. You are a multi-hyphenate: part showrunner, part talent scout, part strategist. You are fluent in both live and on-demand content and you understand the model looks more like the lean, host-driven, streaming-native operations redefining business news right now than anything that came before it. You're passionate about the Dow Jones brands, their transformation into video, and protecting the journalistic rigor that comes with them.
You will:- Shape editorial voice and programming direction across formats.
- Develop talent strategies, which includes an expansive definition of talent, whether it's breaking new talent, scoping the best in-house journalists and building internal reporter integrations, or partnering with creators.
- Serve as an editorial bridge between Dow Jones newsrooms, translating their journalism into formats built for digitally native streaming without losing what makes it valuable.
- Develop new live and on-demand show formats from concept through pilot, working directly with the distribution and commercial leads to make sure formats work for the audience and the business simultaneously.
- Have familiarity with YouTube and social performance metrics and modern audience behavior.
- Set and enforce editorial standards, even when moving fast.
- Work directly with technical leadership to integrate AI tools into editorial workflow.
- Collaborate with commercial leadership on sponsorship integration, ensuring commercial partnerships never compromise editorial integrity.
You have:- A proven track record building something from scratch: a show, a format, a digital video operation.
- Deep hands-on production experience. You know how to run a live show, cut a clip, structure an interview, and write a rundown. You have done all of these things recently, not just managed people who do them.
- Strong editorial judgment on business and financial news. You understand what a Dow Jones audience needs to know before their first meeting of the day.
- Experience in digital-native or streaming-native formats: YouTube, podcast, vodcast, live streaming. You think in clips and completion rates.
- The ability to move fast without cutting corners.
- A builder's relationship with ambiguity. You do not need structure to exist before you can operate. You create it.
- Strong relationships in business journalism, financial media, and the creator world to open doors that a cold call cannot.
- A genuine point of view and conviction about the future of digital video: content, formats, distribution.
