OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY Fox Corporation Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group.

At AdRise, we build cutting-edge advertising capabilities for Tubi and across the Fox portfolio of brands across Sports, Entertainment and News, and including Fox One, the new direct to consumer streaming service.  Before streaming became industry standard, AdRise powered Tubi's growth from the ground up by developing real-time ad delivery and dynamic targeting infrastructure that scaled to serve hundreds of millions. That same tech foundation is now fueling FOX's cross-portfolio monetization strategy. Put simply, we are creating the most efficient, intelligent, and transparent advertising ecosystem in the world, starting with streaming. We are enhancing the in-house ad tech stack by optimizing server-side delivery, building ML-driven targeting systems, and enabling content-personalized ad experiences that respond to what viewers actually watch. From real-time decisioning to data collaboration with AWS and Databricks, we are creating a smarter, more dynamic ad tech ecosystem. The problems are complex, the visibility is high, and the platform is built for impact. If you want to work at the center of streaming monetization on systems that touch hundreds of billions of impressions and shape the next generation of personalized advertising, this is your platform.
