About Mail Metro Media

Mail Metro Media is the UK's leading premium publisher. Across Daily Mail, MailOnline, Metro, i, and The Mail+, we reach 30+ million adults monthly with a fast-growing base of registered and subscribed readers we can deterministically identify.

We have been busy building genuinely differentiated direct-sales products in the UK that no one else in publishing can offer — premium integrated creative, immersive native, editorial-led co-created content experiences for brands, and a Premium Ad Experience with 80% fewer ads, 3x faster page loads and 100%+ more attention (Lumen-validated).

These are premium products, sold direct, and UK client feedback has been strong — most sold within weeks of hitting beta.

London is the product centre. The offer is global, but go-to-market and delivery are local — and our international markets (US, Australia, Ireland) should benefit from everything we build here. What's been missing is a single owner to connect those markets into the centre, so the work happens by design rather than last, if at all.

That's why we're creating this role — and that's where you come in.
