The ideal candidate combines analytical rigour with cultural curiosity, demonstrating both the ability to shape country-level content strategy and to identify opportunities to scale what works through repeatable approaches, AI-supported workflows, and strong partnerships.

• 3-5+ years of experience in content strategy, regional business strategy and operations, partnerships, or similar roles within high-growth content, media or marketplace global technology companies.
• A deep understanding of content, trends, and aesthetics in your market (or markets), with a pulse on what resonates with local users.
• A proactive, solutions-driven approach, capable of balancing strategy with hands-on execution.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align cross-functional teams across regions.
• Experience working in fast-moving, dynamic environments, comfortable with ambiguity and change.
