After just three months with his new toy, CEO of BBC Studios Tim Davie, is re-shaping his top team. Mark Linsey, midwife to the first version of BBC Studios, adds new responsibilities to his role as Chief Creative Officer. I'll quote the press release, 'cos I'm not quite sure I understand it.

"Signalling an accelerated ambition to develop its IP pipeline, BBC Studios has announced that from September, Chief Creative Officer Mark Linsey will take charge of its portfolio of production relationships across the whole sector, managing partnerships with indies and BBC Studios Production. In addition to overseeing the company’s IP strategy and pipeline, Linsey will also take charge of BBC Studios’ Content Partnerships team, which will itself see its remit raised to better meet the challenge of growing the value of BBC Studios’ content across wholly owned production and indie partners."

Whatever he's going to be doing, ON A SALARY WE'LL NEVER KNOW, there's now apparently room for a Director of Content, yet to be hired, "to steer the editorial strategy for BBC Studios Production in the UK."
