* Act as a strategic connector across Product, Commercial, Content & Editorial, Marketing, Brand, Technology, and Corporate Strategy
* Evaluate external market trends, competitor moves, and emerging opportunities to inform long-term direction
* Build robust investment cases and prioritisation frameworks to guide decision-making

* Operates effectively as a senior individual contributor, influencing through insight, frameworks, and storytelling
* Brings a consultative mindset, with experience advising senior stakeholders and navigating complex organisations

* Exceptional communicator - able to simplify complexity and tell compelling strategic stories

* Experience operating at Head of / Principal level, setting multi-year vision and strategy
Why This Role?
* Shape the future direction of a major streaming platform at a pivotal moment
* Work directly with senior leadership and influence high-stakes strategic decisions
* Operate with autonomy in a pure strategy role (no line management)
* Bring an external, market-informed perspective to a highly visible transformation agenda
