About the Role & Team

Working closely with the Programming Lead, you’ll help ensure the FX channel—across linear and non-linear—stays fully aligned with our programming strategy, channel positioning, and the unified message agreed with Disney+ Programming and cross-functional teams.

You’ll join a team grounded in our Disney values — acting with Integrity, welcoming everyone through Inclusion, embracing boundless Creativity, working together through Collaboration and caring deeply for our Community. These values shape how we work and how we support one another every day.
