DTC offers premium streaming services with Hulu, a premium streaming service that offers originals, current season TV, a massive library of hit series and movies, and live television. It also offers Disney+, the Disney-branded streaming service featuring an incomparable collection of content from its brands and franchises recognized and respected all over the world including Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Disney, and NatGeo. Our DTC team is looking for impactful team-players to join the Viewer Experience (VX) team, who will thrive upon the legacy of Disney and Hulu, embrace unconventional thinking, and who are passionate about contributing to The Walt Disney Company’s Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) experience through strategic hard work and determination.
The DTC Content Planning & Partnerships team is seeking a Director, Partnerships Strategic Planning. This leader is responsible for informing global SVOD content partnership strategy through insights, analysis, and cross‑portfolio perspective. Reporting into the VP, Partnerships Strategic Planning, this role leads a high‑performing team and serves as a trusted thought leader for the entire DTC Content Planning & Partnerships organization, ensuring partner decisions, portfolio investments, and our increasingly complex content partner models translate into durable value at scale.
In this role you will own the development of cohesive strategic narratives and opportunity framing across the full spectrum of content partnerships, working closely with the Directors and other members of the Partnerships Strategic Planning team to build through-lines between the businesses. Operating at the intersection of strategy, content and finance, the Director translates complex market dynamics and partnership structures into clear insights, investment frameworks, and executive‑ready decision support.
Success in this role requires the ability to operate as both a strategic architect and a strong people leader, combining intellectual rigor with practical execution. The ideal candidate brings deep fluency in SVOD economics and content partnership models, paired with the judgment to balance near‑term opportunities against long‑term portfolio value. This leader must be comfortable owning ambiguity, synthesizing disparate inputs, and building clear narratives that enable confident decision making at the most senior levels.
