GM of Yahoo Streaming
About the role
Yahoo serves as a trusted guide for hundreds of millions of people globally, helping them achieve their goals online through its portfolio of iconic products. For advertisers, Yahoo Advertising offers omnichannel solutions and powerful data to engage with brands and deliver results. The GM of Yahoo Streaming will embark on an entrepreneurial effort to imagine a new, dedicated video experience across Yahoo. Today, over 100 hours of original video are produced, streamed, and delivered each week across Yahoo’s properties (including Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, and more), and Yahoo has access to thousands of clips, shows, and assets through various partners and partner networks. This new experience will combine cross‑Yahoo content with partner content, new content opportunities, and newly imagined features and tools. The VP of Streaming will define the strategy and vision, lead product development, manage Yahoo and partner content libraries, and build the video business broadly. While Yahoo has tremendous scale, this is an entrepreneurial effort requiring the 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 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 focus 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.
