    Job Purpose

    BBC Distribution and Business Development (D&BD) is responsible for the distribution of the BBC's television channels and radio stations and the syndication of its online services to licence fee payers in the UK. Our primary aim is to ensure that the BBC's public services are innovative, prominent and available to all, now and in the future. To achieve this, our teams manage the relationships and contracts with suppliers and partners (e.g. pay TV platforms, internet services providers, transmission operators, TV, radio and car manufacturers, and Big Tech companies). We also manage the BBC's participation in four joint ventures that provide valuable distribution environments for our services: Freeview, YouView, Digital UK/Freesat and Radioplayer. And, we take a strategic view of the BBC's approach to distribution in the UK, planning ahead to ensure it keeps pace with changing audience needs and technology. This role will primarily focus on the area of long term strategic planning.

    We are seeking someone who is highly motivated and strategic, to join the Digital Transition team within D&BD. The Digital Transition (DT) team is responsible for steering the BBC's move away from broadcast and towards all-internet distribution of its UK services (IPTV and online audio) while ensuring that all services remain universally available. (To learn more about the questions surrounding the future of TV distribution, you might find it helpful look at this from Ofcom).

    Joining in the relatively early stages of a long term and high profile project, you will have a chance to play a critical role in shaping and informing the BBC's approach to the future of TV and radio distribution through developing our understanding of the challenges and opportunities of Digital Transition, building a strong evidence base for informed decision-making and nurturing supportive partnerships with experts and other stakeholders inside and outside the BBC.

    Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities
    • To play an active role in shaping the strategic planning and preparation for the transition of the BBC's TV and radio services to all-internet distribution.
    • To understand, research and analyse technical and strategic questions which will inform the evolution of the future of TV and radio distribution in the UK.
    • To advise on solutions for strategic challenges we have identified (and will continue to identify) as part of Digital Transition. This could include, for example, looking at the supply chain for IPTV, the role of satellite in universal TV distribution, the approach to TV and radio distribution in other countries or the impact of IPTV on digital inclusion in the UK. In some cases, you will take the lead; in others you will be contributing to a team effort.
    • To produce high quality, clear documentation to inform senior stakeholders about progress on Digital Transition including internal advice (e.g. to Digital Transition Steering Group) and external communications (e.g. to Future TV Task Force).
    • To develop open and constructive relationships with internal and external stakeholders including - inside the BBC - Technology, Product, R&D, Policy and Strategy and - outside the BBC - other Public Service Broadcasters, suppliers and industry partners.
    • Help to ensure that every aspect of Digital Transition is inclusive and equitable.
    Knowledge, Skills, Training & Experience

    You will have a strategic mindset and an ability to learn at pace. You will have strong analytical skills and be able to present complex information clearly. At the same time, you will be comfortable dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty.

    You will bring a good understanding of the distribution challenges facing public service broadcasting and a sense of the technical, financial and regulatory issues that the BBC needs to address in planning for the future of distribution.

    As well as working closely with the other members of the DT team, you will use your excellent stakeholder-management skills to draw on the expertise of colleagues in D&BD and collaborate across many different areas of the BBC and with a wide range of external partners and stakeholders.

    The core skills we require are:
    • STRATEGIC MINDSET - you think strategically in the context of the BBC and UK media landscape - for example, you can understand and articulate the long-term impact of decisions taken now about Digital Transition.
    • ANALYTICAL AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS - you get to grips quickly with complex subjects and use many sources to draw conclusions. You enjoy analysing problems and presenting solutions in writing and verbally. Even in fast-changing and uncertain situations, you will be focused on finding a way forward.
    • STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT - You will have a highly collaborative approach to working with stakeholders, internally and externally and experience establishing and achieving shared objectives with other teams.
    • EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS - You will be able to summarise ideas and information in a simple and concise way. You will have first-class writing and slide-drafting skills.
    • PROJECT MANAGEMENT - experience shaping, driving and delivering projects from start to finish, within and across teams.
    • UNDERSTANDING OF THE UK MEDIA SECTOR - you have an interest in and knowledge of the changing the media landscape and where the BBC fits into it. Ideally, you have a good understanding of the BBC's current approach to distribution in the UK and of the issues that will affect this in the future.
