BBC Tasks Two Headhunters With Finding Its Next Chief Content Officer
The BBC has engaged two executive search companies to help with its efforts to replace chief content officer Charlotte Moore.
The BBC’s job ad makes clear that the successful candidate will oversee the same empire as Moore, potentially ending speculation that the corporation may look to break up the role. The right candidate will be an “industry-recognised senior leader,” who has held a “sizable leadership role within the UK TV market.” They must have a “comprehensive understanding of the competitive landscape including the economic/commercial/political and creative issues facing the industry.” Deadline listed the key contenders in February, with those linked with the role including Netflix UK chief Anne Mensah; Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe at Apple TV+; BBC Studios Productions CEO Zai Bennett; and Patrick Holland, the boss of Banijay.
