The posting

THE ROLE

New York Magazine is seeking a Head of Shows to lead our multiplatform show strategy across audio and video programming. This person will identify the most promising opportunities across our editorial brands, develop original franchises, and build a sustainable slate of shows that extend the reach and impact of New York Magazine across audio, video, social, and live platforms.

The ideal candidate is both a creative leader and a skilled production operator: someone who has successfully developed and launched multiple shows out of newsrooms, understands the audio and video landscape, and can recognize distinctive editorial voices and talent that translate into compelling programming.

In this role, you will work across New York Magazine’s portfolio, including The Cut, Vulture, and its four additional verticals, to identify talent, concepts, and audience opportunities that can become signature New York franchises.

This is a permanent, full-time position. This job is benefits-eligible. We pride ourselves in providing comprehensive benefits to support all of our employees wherever they are in life.

This role is located in our New York City office.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Develop and execute a long-term video and audio strategy for New York Magazine, identifying the largest audience, editorial, and business opportunities across the magazine’s brands, coverage areas, and talent roster.
  • Conceive, develop, and launch new show concepts from idea through pilot, testing, and release, including the creation of multiple pilots and proof-of-concept projects in the first year.
  • Oversee all aspects of show development, including editorial direction, host development, visual approach, production workflows, and programming.
  • Build a long-term roadmap and development pipeline for a portfolio of multiplatform shows that support audience growth, engagement, and revenue objectives.
  • Partner with audience, video, and social teams to develop programming and distribution strategies for YouTube, podcast platforms, and social channels, including episode packaging, clips, and original social content.
  • Use audience insights and performance data to refine formats, grow existing shows, and inform development and investment decisions.
  • Identify and evaluate the potential to acquire or partner with existing external shows, creators, and talent when there is an opportunity to strengthen coverage areas aligned with the magazine’s audio and video strategy.
  • Build and manage a team, recruiting producers, external creative partners, and talent as needed, and oversee production budgets and schedules.
  • Work with the editorial team to integrate show appearances and video opportunities into major editorial bookings.
  • Partner with editors and production teams to develop author-read audio versions of major stories at a regular cadence.
  • Lead broader cross-functional stakeholder management and execution, e.g., collaborating with the audience team to develop multiplatform growth strategies and partnering with ad sales and subscription teams to build out franchise business opportunities

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • 10+ years of experience developing, launching, and growing original video programs, podcasts, or multiplatform franchises.
  • Demonstrated track record of taking shows from concept to launch and audience growth, with experience across both video and audio.
  • Strong editorial instincts and experience translating culture, politics, business, lifestyle, or entertainment coverage into compelling audio and video formats.
  • Experience identifying, developing, and coaching on-air and on-camera talent.
  • Experience cultivating, managing, and collaborating with top-tier talent, creators, and celebrities.
  • Strong understanding of original video programming, video podcasting, creator-led media, and cross-platform content strategies.
  • Deep knowledge of audience behavior and distribution across YouTube, podcast platforms, and social channels.
  • Understanding of how shows can extend into newsletters, community, and live experiences.
  • Experience building teams, managing production budgets, and establishing development and production workflows.
  • Excellent project management, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills, including experience working closely with audience and revenue teams.
  • Ability to operate strategically while also executing hands-on development work.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort building programs from the ground up
