Chief Executive Officer

About the role

This is a chance to lead a trusted, multi decade market leader through its next chapter. Star Media sits at the center of a high stakes data ecosystem for cable and broadcast networks, and the next CEO will modernize how the company presents, prices, and packages its products while protecting the trust the platform has earned across major media customers.

Responsibilities

• Own the company's strategic direction, market positioning, and competitive response across cable, broadcast, and adjacent television buyers.
• Drive revenue growth with full P&L accountability across retention, expansion, pricing, and new customer acquisition within the network ecosystem, and serve as the external face of Star Media to research leaders, network customers, and industry peers.
• Identify and act on AI driven opportunities to reposition the product and create durable competitive distance, including how Nielsen, Comscore, and VideoAmp data are processed, surfaced, and licensed.
• Own the product roadmap at a strategic level across StarTrak, StarEstimator, StarPost, and WARP, ensuring the portfolio reflects how modern research, sales, and stewardship teams want to work.
• Partner with the technology leader and engineering team to translate a modernized product vision into a credible execution sequence.
• Champion AI first product thinking, identifying where automation, predictive insights, and intelligent workflows create durable differentiation in audience measurement and ratings analytics.
• Build and lead a tight knit leadership team, preserving the institutional knowledge and customer relationships that have defined Star Media for more than three decades.
• Elevate talent density across the organization, establish decision rights, execution cadences, and accountability frameworks that increase speed without disrupting the customer trust the platform has earned.

Qualifications

• Owned the P&L and operational outcomes for a B2B SaaS organization, business unit or media division function, driving direct accountability for revenue growth and margin expansion.
• Built a repeatable go to market engine, establishing scalable sales and expansion motions within a vertical or enterprise SaaS environment.
• Led an organization through a meaningful inflection point (a product repositioning, a pricing model redesign, a market expansion) before the market forced the change.
• Delivered measurable structural improvements to net revenue retention and pricing power, turning margin durability from a strategic priority into a realized business outcome.
• Deep familiarity with the cable and broadcast network ecosystem, including the buyers, workflows, and economics of ad supported television research, sales, and stewardship. Direct experience with Nielsen, Comscore, VideoAmp, or comparable audience measurement data is strongly preferred.
