We’re looking for a commercially minded and strategically rigorous Head of Growth to help shape the future of Australia’s leading digital lifestyle and news portfolio, including news.com.au, Taste, Escape, and Body+Soul.

This is a high-impact opportunity for a leader who can combine the structured thinking of top-tier management consulting with the pace, pragmatism and execution focus of a high-growth digital business. You’ll help set the portfolio’s strategic direction, unlock new commercial opportunities and expand our reach across social, emerging platforms and strategic partnerships.

About the role:

- Lead strategic planning across the digital portfolio, providing clear, data-led frameworks for major commercial, and growth decisions.
- Partner with commercial teams to identify new revenue opportunities and support the positioning and growth of advertising products and data assets across the portfolio.
- Lead strategic initiatives, market-entry opportunities and business development projects that diversify revenue and strengthen the portfolio’s market position.
- Define and execute the off-platform strategy across social media, third-party distribution networks and emerging digital platforms.
- Build scalable approaches to social distribution and creator ecosystems that grow brand authority, audience acquisition and monetisation.
- Work with Audience, Emerging Platforms, Marketing and Brand Product teams to improve the journey from off-platform touchpoints back to owned digital properties.
- Help maximise audience lifetime value, engagement and retention through an integrated, cross-platform growth strategy.




- Provide trusted strategic advice to the General Manager and influence senior stakeholders across the business and external platform partners.

Who are you?

- You have experience in a top-tier management consulting environment such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Strategy& or Big 4 Strategy, with strong capability in problem-solving, strategic modelling and executive communication.
- You have since gained hands‑on leadership experience in a high-growth start‑up, scale‑up or digital business, with a test‑and‑learn mindset and a bias towards action.
- You understand how to scale consumer touchpoints across media, technology or digital platforms, including social media distribution, creator networks or other off-platform channels.
- You bring strong commercial acumen and understand digital publishing economics, audience acquisition, social monetisation and data-led commercial models.
- You can combine strategic rigour with start‑up agility, moving comfortably between high-level strategy and practical execution.
- You build trusted relationships with commercial teams, executive leaders and external partners across social, streaming and technology platforms.
- You are an energetic and credible leader who can mentor others and help foster a high-performance, growth-oriented culture.




- This is an opportunity to make a visible impact on portfolio strategy, commercial growth and audience expansion across some of Australia’s most recognisable digital brands.
