Her appointment was announced by Tony Hall, the British Broadcasting Corporation"s Director General on 26 June 2013. Later in 2016, Moore will assume responsibility for all of the British Broadcasting Corporation"s television channels. A graduate of Bristol University, she joined Ideal World as a producer-director of documentaries in 2002.
As a freelancer in this joint role, her credits included "Lagos Airport", RTS award winning Living With Cancer and Great Britons: Churchill.
She was appointed head of documentaries for Muriel Gray"s Ideal World company in February 2004, and then head of contemporary factual at IWC Media, as it became after its merger with Wark Clements, in 2005. Moore has been a trustee since 2005 of the Grierson Trust, of which she is a Vice-Chair.
After a period as temporary charge, she formally became the commissioning editor of Documentaries in May 2009, responsible for 220 hours of programming per annum across the British Broadcasting Corporation"s four television channels with an annual budget of £30 million by 2011. In this role she gave the go ahead for BBC2"s Welcome to Lagos, Protecting Our Children, a programme on assisted suicide, Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die, 7/7 One Day in London, Inside Claridges and The Great British Bake Office among others
Rivals at Channel 4 suggested Moore"s preference for authored documentaries might give her output an "old fashioned" air, a criticism she rejected in June 2011.
She rejected that channel"s fondness for "fixed rig" programmes, like One Born Every Minute and Coppers which, Moore has said, appear to repeat the same narrative in each episode: "Where are the layers and complexity? lieutenant is difficult for them to be inventive and risky."
In February 2013 she was appointed acting controller of Daytime Television for the British Broadcasting Corporation, and had been acting controller of British Broadcasting Corporation One since Danny Cohen"s promotion to Director of British Broadcasting Corporation Television on 7 May. She became controller of British Broadcasting Corporation One in June 2013. At the time Moore became British Broadcasting Corporation One controller, the Media commentator Maggie Brown, wrote that "her appointment signals a rising appreciation of collaborative team players with an eye on the greater good of the British Broadcasting Corporation".
In January 2016, it was announced that the controller posts for the British Broadcasting Corporation channels are to be abolished, and Moore will assume the overall post for all of them, including responsibility for the iPlayer, later in the year.
