Your new role

The Vice President of Engineering, Delivery is a senior technology leader within the CNN Technology organization, responsible for ensuring predictable, high‑quality delivery across a portfolio of mission‑critical engineering functions. This VP‑level role reports directly to the CNN Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and is a key member of the senior technology leadership team.

This leader will own and evolve CNN’s delivery operating model, balancing speed, quality, reliability, and scale in a fast‑paced, always‑on news environment. The role requires deep experience leading engineering leaders, strong operational rigor, and the ability to partner closely with product, editorial, and business stakeholders to translate strategy into execution.

This position is based in Ottawa and plays a critical role in building and scaling CNN’s engineering leadership presence in the region. As the most senior exec, this leader would provide on-the-ground leadership to on-site engineers that may be outside of their reporting chain. They would be expected to engage with the broader engineering community, representing CNN and WBD to generate interest in the work we do and identify ways to give back.
