Head of Search & Content

About the role

We're looking for a Head of Search & Content to ensure our community of over 30 million users can easily find content that's right for them. You'll own the search and content experience across our platform. That means the quality of every search result, what we surface when people are browsing, how we merchandise and promote content, and how we scale our library. It also means bringing strong judgment about the well-being, mindfulness, meditation, sleep, anxiety, stress, movement, and mental health space, so that our search experience understands not just what a user typed, but what they are likely trying to find next. This is a product leadership role, but it is also a deeply domain-informed and technically fluent role. If someone searches for "addiction," we need to know whether the next useful surface might be types of addiction, evidence-informed support pathways, relevant practices, teachers, courses, or safe redirects. If someone searches for "Hatha stretching," we need someone who understands why "Hatha Yoga" may be the better canonical term, and how adjacent concepts such as Pilates, mobility, breathwork, or restorative yoga should or should not be connected. These decisions shape taxonomy, metadata, ranking, recommendations, and the user's trust in the product. You should be genuinely AI-enabled in your day-to-day work: comfortable with prompt engineering, structured AI workflows, and tools such as Claude Cowork, Claude Code or similar systems to turn ambiguous product and search problems into working prototypes and operational workflows. You do not need to be a software engineer, but you do need enough technical fluency to work credibly with engineers on search architecture, ranking systems, metadata pipelines, retrieval quality, AI-assisted labelling, experimentation, and the trade-offs behind scalable discovery systems. About Insight Timer Imagine a platform which could amplify something as simple as your attendance into deep transformational shifts for humanity. A place where showing up was enough. Where each individual visit combined with millions more to trigger huge waves of health and happiness around the world. What would such a platform look like? Could you even build it? And more importantly, how would you protect it from becoming another Instagram, TikTok or Twitter which magnify the very worst of us. If we can answer these questions, we believe Insight Timer's community will emerge as one of the most important companies of the 21st century. A place - not a product - which is capable of reversing the modern day health pandemic by harmonising the human spirit before problems arise. And if we get there... well, the opportunities are endless. Imagine a modern-day renaissance where health, belonging and purpose become the new definitions of happiness for hundreds of millions of people around the world, including you. And all you need to do... is show up. Key Responsibilities Own search & discovery end to end: You bring domain judgment to those decisions, so that search and discovery reflect how people actually think about wellbeing, mindfulness, meditation, sleep, anxiety, stress, movement, spiritual practice, and emotional health. Managing search quality: You understand how to evaluate search quality across lexical matching, semantic intent, synonyms, canonical terms, adjacent topics, user context, content quality, safety, and evidence alignment. Own browse and recommendations: You will define what a helpful next step looks like after a search: a narrower subtopic, a broader category, an evidence-informed pathway, a daily practice, a teacher, a course, or a safe alternative when the query is sensitive. Curation: You'll decide which content earns placement, where, and why. This requires taste, but also wellbeing literacy: knowing the difference between meditation styles, yoga traditions, breathwork modalities, sleep support, therapeutic concepts, spiritual content, and everyday wellness needs. Fill the gaps: You will distinguish between simple content gaps and domain gaps: where we need more beginner-friendly practices, stronger evidence-informed content, better support for sensitive needs, more inclusive terminology, or clearer pathways through complex topics. Scale the library: You will help design the quality systems that allow scale without losing trust, including metadata standards, review workflows, AI-assisted classification, content quality signals, and human oversight. Own the taxonomy: This includes building and maintaining domain-specific ontologies across meditation, mindfulness, sleep, anxiety, stress, yoga, breathwork, music, spirituality, movement, and mental wellbeing, and ensuring they map cleanly into search, browse, recommendations, and content operations. Partner with engineering: Work closely with engineering, data, and AI teams on how search actually works: indexing, ranking, retrieval, filters, embeddings, synonym handling, metadata quality, query understanding, evalu
