The ideal candidate brings clarity, ambition, and decisive strategic thinking to a portfolio of brands with significant untapped audience and revenue potential.

What the opportunity looks like

PTS

• Scale PTS revenue (non-session Facebook revenue)

Vertical Expansion & Innovation

• Oversee emerging brand verticals as innovation incubators, testing editorial formats, audience tactics, and monetisation approaches before wider deployment.
• Introduce data-backed experimentation frameworks to accelerate growth, diversify engagement, and unlock new monetisable audiences.

Commercial & Affiliate Partnerships

• Lead commercial growth through affiliate partnerships (e.g., Amazon, BBC), ensuring content quality, editorial compliance, and strategic alignment with brand integrity.
• Revamp legacy deal content, eliminating outdated or misaligned material while implementing a refreshed, ROI-focused affiliate approach.
• Drive ideation and production of high-intent affiliate journalism, balancing audience value with commercial opportunity and long-term trust metrics.

Skills and experience we’d like you to have

• Strong commercial maturity, with the ability to partner effectively with Editorial and other indirect teams to translate business objectives into revenue-driving strategies.
• Advanced data literacy, with the ability to interrogate platform performance, spot revenue drivers, and translate insights into strategy.
• Forward-thinking and innovation-led, bringing a proactive approach to experimentation, ideation, and the development of new editorial and revenue opportunities.
• A proven track record of uniting editorial excellence with commercial imperatives, ensuring growth targets are met without compromising brand voice, trust, or audience value.
• Demonstrated ability to elevate content standards at scale, reducing formulaic, low-value output and championing originality, editorial rigour, and formats that drive long-term, sustainable audience and revenue growth.
• Deep understanding of youth audiences, digital culture and platform dynamics.
• Demonstrable leadership potential, with a clear and direct communication style that enables teams to deliver consistently high-quality execution.
