  • Deep experience with streaming video products across mobile and CTV platforms

  • Strong understanding of platform ecosystems (Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Roku)

  • Experience working within regulated environments (COPPA, CCPA, or similar) strongly preferred

  • Proven ability to align cross-functional stakeholders and drive consensus across competing priorities

  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership

  • Track record of mentoring and developing junior team members

  • Passion for public media, education, or mission-driven work a plus

  • Service-focused, collaborative, and committed to continuous learning.

The base pay range for this position at the beginning of employment is expected to be between $110,000 and $125,000/year. The actual base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including but not limited to job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position will also include other elements for eligible employees, including: (i) eligibility for discretionary bonuses; (ii) various insurance options, including medical, dental, vision, hearing, life, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term and long-term disability, and business travel accident insurance; (iii) identity protection program; (iv) employee assistance program; (v) financial and retirement savings benefits including the PBS Retirement Plan 403(b); (vi) paid time off (17 days per year), paid sick time benefits (12 days per year), paid parental leave (60 days / 12 weeks ), and paid holidays (12 days per year). Details of these benefit plans will be provided upon request. The application window for this position is expected to close on 8/31/2026.
