At Caffeine, we want to change how people consume live television - making it more friendly, connected, and fun. To do this, we’re building a new social broadcasting platform that features world-class content, easy-to-use broadcasting tools, a social and fun viewing experience, and an engaged broadcaster community.
This is an exciting and enormous challenge, and we will only be successful if we build a supportive and collaborative team. Our teams prioritize delighting our community of viewers and broadcasters, working with intention, taking ownership of our commitments, and acting with resilience and determination—all with the intention to ship greatness, always.
We are looking for a well-regarded, dynamic content strategy executive who will come in as our Chief Content Curator to orchestrate and drive our ever-evolving content strategy. This hardworking and passionate executive must have a consistent track record of identifying compelling, engaging content that will flourish on our live and highly-interactive platform. It is this diverse portfolio of content - and the communities that form around it - which makes Caffeine what it is.

Who You Are & What You've Done
- 15+ years experience in the media space with a focus on online or digital delivery
- A critical thinker who is passionate and a bit of a “cultural genius” about the evolving video content distribution landscape

- Willing to work in a fast-paced environment - this means taking initiative, prioritizing projects, and working under tight time-frames to meet community and content priorities
