Vegas PBS President & General Manager

Vegas PBS seeks a visionary, strategic, and community-centered leader to serve as its next President and General Manager. This is a rare opportunity to lead one of the nation’s most distinctive public media organizations, where media, education, and community engagement come together in powerful and scalable ways. It’s a role defined by public accountability and engagement with a broad and diverse range of stakeholders. The next leader will guide Vegas PBS into a new chapter by expanding multiplatform storytelling, diversifying revenue streams, strengthening its role in education and workforce development, and advancing innovative approaches to audience engagement. This includes leveraging data, digital platforms, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to enhance both content and community impact.

As a CCSD employee, the President and General Manager will participate in all CCSD benefit programs and will be vested in the state retirement system after five years of service.
