Sr. Director, Global Transformation at Warner Bros. Discovery
When we say, “the stuff dreams are made of,” we’re not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons and superheroes, or even to the wonders of Planet Earth. Behind WBD’s vast portfolio of iconic content and beloved brands are the storytellers, creators and dreamers who bring our characters to life and shape what’s next.
From brilliant creatives to technology trailblazers across the globe, WBD offers career‑defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best self. Here you are supported, celebrated, and empowered to thrive.
As Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) prepares for its next chapter, the Sr. Director, Global Transformation will be instrumental in shaping and executing transformation strategies that position the organization for long‑term success. This role requires expertise in problem solving, analytics, and change management across a complex business environment. The ideal candidate will be highly adaptable, proactive, and a “doer.” The role demands motivation, flexibility, and resilience in a dynamic, ever‑changing environment.
For the next 6‑9 months, the majority of work will focus on the separation. The role is a key member of the Separation team and will lead workstreams, manage timelines, deliverables and tracking, and problem‑solve paths forward. The successful candidate must quickly get up to speed on WBD’s current business to hit the ground running as the separation progresses.
