Jane Palfreyman, SBS chief marketing and commercial officer, will act as managing director while the broadcaster looks for a new chief.
This follows the resignation of James Taylor to become CEO at outdoor media specialist oOh!media.
SBS acting chair Christine Zeitz said the interim appointment provides continuity of leadership and ensures an orderly transition until the next managing director is appointed.
Jane Palfreyman joined SBS in 2012 and has held senior positions across sales and marketing.
