Director of Programming, Yahoo Finance

A natural editorial leader with sharp news instincts — calm and decisive under pressure, organized, and over-communicative; the kind of leader people want at the wheel on a chaotic news day.

Highly collaborative with cross-functional partners, able to influence product, engineering, analytics, and executive stakeholders with equal confidence.

10+ years of experience in digital news, journalism, or audience-facing editorial leadership roles.

Strong understanding of digital programming fundamentals: homepage editing, headline and image selection, SEO best practices, and push notification strategy.

Experience working closely with product and engineering partners on CMS tools and editorial workflows.

Comfort with analytics tools (e.g., Chartbeat, Google Analytics, internal dashboards), using data to inform programming decisions and drive performance accountability.

Own the editorial programming strategy across Yahoo Finance’s website, mobile web, app, and push notifications, setting the vision, standards, and decision-making framework for how content is surfaced, packaged, and distributed.

Lead the push notification function, with clear ownership of strategy, audience targeting, cadence, breaking-news protocols, and performance expectations, using data to refine the editorial strategy.

Own the team staffing and schedule, ensuring strong coverage across hours, platforms, and major news cycles, and making sure the team is consistently staffed to meet the demands of a fast-moving, high-volume news operation.

Own programming KPIs across the website, app, push notifications and make analytics the backbone of how the team operates — using Chartbeat, internal dashboards, Google Discover, search, and social signals to drive real-time decisions, shape longer-term strategy that translates the numbers into clear takeaways and next steps.

Partner with product and engineering to shape the roadmap for push capabilities and programming tools, advocating for better targeting, testing, analytics, automation, and editorial controls.

Create distribution plans in advance for major news moments and company priorities, helping set the content vision and priorities.
