Are you ready to shape the future of African broadcasting and media technology? A dynamic, fast-growing media and innovation group is seeking a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead operations across its flagship 24-hour news channel and group-wide support services.
This is a pivotal executive role, partnering directly with the CEO to translate bold strategic vision into operational excellence. You’ll oversee news broadcasting, human resources, legal & risk, procurement, and facilities—driving efficiency, innovation, and performance across the workforce.

An MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification will be advantageous. This is more than a role-it's an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the African media landscape.
