Australia's largest TV network scaling digital and programmatic revenue
Seven Network is Australia's most-watched broadcaster, reaching 17.5M+ people monthly across TV, radio, publishing, and digital. The hiring mix is heavily sales- and marketing-focused (16 of 26 active roles), with accelerating velocity and notably thin coverage in product and engineering—typical of a traditional media org pivoting toward programmatic monetization and digital-first content distribution. Pain points cluster around programmatic revenue gaps, operational inefficiencies, and a transition to a new operating model, suggesting internal restructuring alongside external growth pressure.
