GM of Yahoo Streaming

Yahoo will embark on an entrepreneurial effort to imagine how a new, dedicated video experience will exist on and across Yahoo. Today, over 100 hours of original video are produced, streamed and delivered each week across Yahoo’s various properties (including Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, and more). Additionally, Yahoo has access to thousands of clips, shows, and assets through our various partners and partner networks.

This new experience combines the cross-Yahoo content with partner content, new content opportunities, and newly imagined features and tools.

The VP of Streaming will define that strategy and vision, lead the product development, manage Yahoo and partner content libraries, and build the video business broadly. While Yahoo has tremendous scale, this is an entrepreneurial effort that requires this leader to play many different roles, from strategy to product development to business development. The VP will build a small, AI-native team to develop the experience and will have to work across Yahoo’s verticals (like Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, and Yahoo News) to support and leverage their video strategies, libraries, and experiences.

This leader will manage a small, entrepreneurial team and be focused across three areas: business strategy and management, product development and engineering, and partner management and development. The VP of Streaming and team will be responsible for the launch and growth of the entrepreneurial effort.

• Product and Business Strategy:
  Responsible for product and business vision, development and delivery.
• Product Design & Development:
  Proficiency across product management, product design and product development - and experience with AI-first development and processes.
• Business Development & Partner Management:
  The GM will lead relationships with existing partners and publishers - and identify new partners (across content, talent, technology).
• In this capacity, the VP will be both inward and outward facing.
• Content Creation & Management:
  The new business will require a robust content library - including Yahoo-produced content, partner content, and newly produced and acquired.

The material job duties and responsibilities of this role include those listed above as well as adhering to Yahoo policies; exercising sound judgment; working effectively, safely and inclusively with others; exhibiting trustworthiness and meeting expectations; and safeguarding business operations and brand integrity.
