Your New Role…

We’re seeking a Director of Digital Programming, Weekends to report into the VP of Programming and lead the editorial team responsible for curating and optimising the content experience across our core digital surfaces — web, mobile web, and mobile apps — for a 24/7 global news organisation.

This role is at the intersection of journalism, audience behaviour, and product innovation. The ideal candidate brings sharp editorial judgment, strong people leadership, and a strategic mindset grounded in data. You ensure our digital front doors consistently reflect the urgency, depth, and breadth of our journalism — and that they serve the evolving needs of our audiences around the clock.

The Weekend Director will play a critical role helping to develop and lead execution of the weekend homepage strategy. The role is based out of our London newsroom, working a 4-day week inclusive of Saturday and Sunday.

Your Role Accountabilities…

  • Lead a team of editors programming the organisation’s home and front-door digital experiences (web, mobile web, and app)

  • Guide programming strategy across formats — including live video, text, audio, and visuals — ensuring each is optimised

  • Exercise strong editorial judgment in real-time, particularly during high-pressure breaking news and questions of content hierarchy, timing and rotation

  • Ensure content selection aligns with core editorial values while meeting the needs of users (Catch me up, Take me deeper, Entertain me)

  • Frame stories with clarity, accuracy and impact, including writing or approving high-quality headlines, teases, and promotional language

  • Demonstrate ability to make sophisticated editorial decisions and seamlessly curate across live, text, visual and video formats

  • Monitor real-time analytics to inform programming decisions and adjust content placement dynamically, partnering with the Audience, Data, and Research teams to deepen understanding of audience segments and consumption habits

  • Manage and mentor a distributed editorial team, providing direction, feedback, and growth opportunities

Qualifications & Experience…

  • Extensive experience in digital journalism, audience programming, or editorial operations within a fast-paced news or media environment

  • Experience managing teams in a 24/7 publishing operation, ideally with global coordination

  • Demonstrated ability to balance real-time editorial instincts with long-term strategic thinking

  • Deep understanding of audience engagement, digital consumption behaviours, and cross-platform storytelling (text, video, audio)

  • Experience working with product and design teams to enhance digital storytelling or homepage surfaces
