    Job Introduction

    The BBC is recruiting two Heads of Strategy on a 12-month fixed-term basis for the Group Strategy & Performance division.

    The BBC's Strategy & Performance team helps the BBC define its future and develop a plan for getting there. It acts as an independent advisor to the leadership of the BBC, enabling senior leaders to develop creative and practical ideas for how the BBC and its services should evolve. The team is made up of analysts, managers, heads and directors, with the Group Director of Strategy & Performance sitting on the BBC's Executive Committee.

    The Strategy & Performance team sits at the heart of decision-making which influences the BBC's long term future. We are a creative, innovative team drawing on data, insight and information to help advise BBC leadership on how the BBC's content and services should evolve. We help the organisation to evaluate trade-offs and choices where the answer isn't highly obvious.

    Main Responsibilities

    In addition to the specific responsibilities referenced above, Head of Strategy roles at the BBC can be expected to:
    • Manage a range of complex strategy projects across the divisions that are designed to deliver pan-BBC and divisional strategy priorities.
    • Co-ordinate the development of longer-term strategy for the division based on review of key markets, technology and audience trends, and policy/regulatory developments.
    • Advise directors and senior management on external developments in the market, policy and technology and the implications for strategy development across the Group.
    • Support the Director, Business Strategy and the Director, Content Strategy in contributing to major pan-BBC strategy projects.
    • Work closely with policy and regulatory legal in the delivery of strategic priorities including new service development.
    • Provide divisional boards with the strategic tools/approach needed to help them solve their business issues.
    • Contribute to objective setting and performance review process and ensure the division is accurately represented in the BBC's regular performance reports.
    • Bring divisional experience and knowledge to cross-divisional strategic issues/projects.
    • Present compelling arguments and diagnostics to influence divisional boards and senior stakeholders.
    • Line manage as required.
    Are you the right candidate?

    You will have in-depth knowledge of the media landscape in the UK and globally, and experience in a senior management role and/or of undertaking strategy development within a large organisation or consultancy. You'll have led complex projects with diverse stakeholders as well as being experienced in the resolution of politically sensitive issues. In addition, you will possess strong leadership skills through managing professional teams and the ability to influence decision-makers.

    You'll possess strong negotiating and influencing skills, be confident advising senior teams (to Director/Board level) and be able to present complex data and arguments in ways that are accessible to everyone. Furthermore, you'll have experience of leading and managing professional teams, including providing coaching and feedback.
