Yet another pivot towards an American BBC. 

The combination of two domains, bbc.co.uk and bbc.com, leads the world rankings in news websites, according to similarweb.com, with 1.1bn visits in April. In second place comes msn.com, on 655m, and third is cnn.com on 626m. 

Now the BBC wants a managing editor to run bbc.com from the States. 

The managing editor of BBC.com is responsible for contributing to and implementing the strategy to grow North American and other ex-UK audiences across BBC.com.  This leader will oversee the curation team responsible for programming BBC.com journalism and factual content for North American and ex-UK audiences as well as a team of editors and video journalists tasked with creating and curating content that grows reach, retention, reputation and revenue in core categories.  The managing editor will work closely with all digital content teams at the BBC to identify programming that meets the needs of North American and ex-UK audiences.   Experience in both daily news programming and lifestyle/entertainment news categories such as travel, culture and wellness required.   

This role is based in the U.S., either New York or Washington D.C.
