Company Description NBCUniversal is one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies. We create world-class content, which we distribute across our portfolio of film, television, and streaming, and bring to life through our theme parks and consumer experiences. We own and operate leading entertainment and news brands, including NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Sports, Telemundo, NBC Local Stations, Bravo, USA Network, and Peacock, our premium ad-supported streaming service. We produce and distribute premier filmed entertainment and programming through Universal Filmed Entertainment Group and Universal Studio Group, and have world-renowned theme parks and attractions through Universal Destinations & Experiences. NBCUniversal is a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation. Our impact is rooted in improving the communities where our employees, customers, and audiences live and work. We have a rich tradition of giving back and ensuring our employees have the opportunity to serve their communities. We champion an inclusive culture and strive to attract and develop a talented workforce to create and deliver a wide range of content reflecting our world.

The well-capitalized company will have significant scale as a pure-play set of assets anchored by leading news, sports and entertainment content. The spin-off is expected to be completed during 2025.

Qualifications Basic Requirements: 5+ years of proven experience in a leadership role, specifically within workplace operations, product development, and building workplace tools. Demonstrated experience defining and implementing product development processes. Proven ability to set and communicate a clear vision for a team and a product portfolio. Experience in managing and mentoring a team of product managers and analysts. Track record of successfully managing vendor relationships and budgets. Desired Characteristics: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to navigate complexity and change. Influential leader who builds consensus and alignment in a matrixed organization. Balances collaboration and decisiveness, listening effectively while driving outcomes. Strategic thinker with an execution mindset, able to manage multiple priorities and pivot quickly. Exceptional communication skills, able to connect with both technical and business audiences. Builds meaningful, trust-based relationships with curiosity, humility, and openness to feedback. Experienced in Workplace technology implementations, including business analysis, change management, and system configuration. Comfortable working in a global, cross-functional environment.
