Job Description
As part of Nine Publishing, you will join the home of Australia’s premier news mastheads, including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, Brisbane Times, and WAtoday.

Develop and deliver a unified, data-driven distribution strategy across social media, podcasts, and video tailored to our distinct publishing brands.
Identify and capitalise on high-value monetisation opportunities across off-platform channels in close partnership with editorial and sales teams.
Implement process and workflow improvements to make social content production and distribution significantly more efficient across newsrooms.
Ensure all off-platform initiatives complement, protect, and drive audience growth back to our core paywalled product suite.
Track, report, and evaluate metrics to build compelling business cases, refine strategies, and continuously improve overall ROI.
Work closely with the broader Strategy & Business team and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless project delivery and alignment with group goals.
What you'll bring:
Demonstrated success in leading off-platform distribution and monetisation strategies in a media or digital environment.
Expertise in partnering with sales and editorial teams to generate revenue while maintaining a deep understanding of paywall and subscription models.
Exceptional data analysis skills with a proven track record of converting audience metrics into actionable strategic growth.
