Jared Winley enters his 26th year with the New York Jets and his second as senior vice president, communications, having been promoted to the position prior to the 2025 season. In his role, Winley works closely with the team's executive vice president, chief brand & communications officer in developing long- and short-term strategies to best position the New York Jets.

Leading the team's football communications efforts, Winley serves as the organization's primary media liaison while collaborating across departments to craft and deliver messaging that best positions the organization. He is central to preparing the general manager, head coach, coordinators, and players for interviews, while overseeing all NFL broadcast partner relationships. Winley also directs the team's media access plan, ensuring compliance with league protocols, and works closely with the vice president of corporate communications and philanthropy to maintain alignment across communications and operational initiatives.

Prior to his appointment as senior vice president, Winley served as vice president of communications, where he oversaw both football and corporate communications. Throughout his tenure, he has developed and implemented innovative strategies to evolve the organization's communications approach, most recently highlighted by serving on the team's artificial intelligence (AI) steering committee, helping ensure the responsible adoption of emerging technologies while driving greater efficiency and organizational growth.

Winley has also played a key role in several major projects, including leading communications efforts surrounding the opening of MetLife Stadium and coordinating the team's involvement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions of Jets legends Darrelle Revis, Curtis Martin, and Kevin Mawae. He has also helped guide the team's international expansion following the acquisition of marketing rights in the United Kingdom and Ireland, supporting overseas activations by facilitating player appearances and working with traditional and emerging media across both markets.

Winley is one of the original members of the team's Social Justice, Diversity and Inclusion Team (SJDIT), whose members each serve one-year terms. The team works with players and staff to develop strategies, relationships, and programs to best serve the team and its surrounding community. In December of 2020, the SJDIT identified and partnered with four social justice organizations in the All Stars Project, Innocence Project, New York Urban League, and Year Up. As part of the partnerships, each organization received $250,000. Additionally, some 300 New York Jets players, coaches, and staff volunteered on over 75 projects with these organizations.

Prior to that, Winley was one of six employees initially named to the Jets Work Improvement Team responsible for identifying opportunities to improve the culture, experience, and productivity of the organization.

Beginning his NFL career as a communications intern at the National Football League, Winley got his start in professional sports as a part-time media assistant for the NBA in 1999.

A graduate of St. John's University, Winley was born in Queens, NY. He and his wife, Nakia, have three children and currently reside in Union County, NJ.
