Auckland | Full-time

We’re looking for a Content Director who lives and breathes music, understands the heartbeat of Aotearoa, and knows how to turn audience insight into unforgettable audio moments. This is your chance to lead one of New Zealand’s favourite audio brands and shape how Flava sounds, feels, and connects — on-air, online, and everywhere our audience shows up.

The Role

As Content Director – Flava, you’ll own the creative and operational direction of the station. From scheduling music to talent coaching, promotions to partnerships, you’ll be responsible for delivering a sound that’s entertaining, relevant, and unmistakably Flava — while driving audience growth across Auckland and nationwide.

You’ll lead a passionate team of content creators, work closely with commercial and marketing partners, and play a role in NZME’s wider audio strategy.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Define the Flava sound – programming music and content that resonates with our audience and reflects the brand’s purpose and personality

• Lead and inspire talent – coach, develop and challenge on-air teams to be their best, every day

• Drive audience growth – analyse performance, respond to research, and outplay the competition

• Create standout promotions – develop compelling campaigns that lift ratings, revenue, and brand love

• Integrate commercial content seamlessly – collaborating with sales and integration teams to deliver smart, on-brand partnerships

• Grow digital audio – build Flava’s presence across iHeartRadio, social platforms, and digital channels

• Be a leader – motivate your team, role-model NZME values, and contribute to the broader content leadership group

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ experience in radio, audio, or a closely related industry

• Proven leadership and talent development experience

• Strong programming instincts and a deep appreciation of audio as an entertainment medium

• Hands-on knowledge of Powergold, Zetta and Nexgen

• Calm decision-making under pressure and the ability to move fast when it counts

• A natural communicator who builds strong relationships across content, commercial, and creative teams

• A curious, confident mindset and a genuine connection to music, culture, and audience trends

Why NZME & Flava?

At NZME, we’re Connected, Curious, and Confident — and Flava embodies all three. You’ll have the opportunity to make real impact, work with some of the best talent in the business and shape a brand that matters to its audience.

If you’re ready to lead boldly, challenge the status quo, and create audio that cuts through — we want to hear from you.
