DC Comics Wants to Hire a Head of Digital and Mobile Product Strategy

DC Comics, along with much of Warner Bros, has made a lot of senior staff redundant recently – although many are now staying on until the end of November. But even in the midst of downsizing, they are still hiring at Burbank. Here is a listing that has just gone up for a full-time Head of Digital & Mobile Product Strategy, at their Burbank offices. Though that probably still means remote working for now.
