The posting, as Tubi wrote it

About the Role

Tubi is expanding its investment in emerging formats and next generation storytelling by partnering with the next generation of creators leveraging AI-assisted production. We believe technology is enabling a broader group of storytellers to be successful, and we want to be a great home and partner for this group to bring their ideas to Tubi’s global fan base, build new franchises, new story formats, and monetize their content. Our approach is creator-led and technology-enabled, with human creativity, compelling storytelling, and audience connection at the center.

Tubi is looking for a Senior Director, Next-Gen Studio to lead the creative heart of this effort. They will own identifying and onboarding promising stories, creators, and partners in the AI-assisted production space , and shaping them into shows that win real audiences among Tubi's 110 million monthly active users.

This is a role for someone who wants to build. In year one you will stand up a slate from the ground up, running a variety of concepts through a fast test-and-learn cycle where decisions are measured in weeks. You’ll bring a producer’s eye and instincts to the work: you possess the unique ability to combine the skillset of a development executive along with the capability to deeply understand (and be hands on) with AI creation tools. You also can handle budget authority, making clear calls about what gets made, doubling down on what’s working, and letting go of what isn’t.

The ideal candidate has deep respect for the craft of storytelling, and genuine conviction that new tools are about to expand what storytelling can be. They are energized by writing a new playbook rather than applying an old one.

This is a hybrid role based out of our New York or Los Angeles office. You must be willing to be in the office 2-3 days/week and travel as needed.

• Work with product and engineering teams on tools and products that will enable the story telling and make this the most fan centric platform for this next generation of story telling.

Own the budget

• Control budget allocation across the slate, including deciding which concepts get funded, at what level, and for how long. Possess a willingness to change course quickly based on what's working and what’s not.
• Partner closely with Finance on the slate P&L, including building and maintaining the forecast, tracking spend and performance against plan, pressure-testing the unit economics as real data comes in, and making the case for funding levels as the business scales.
