Adam Barker served as Acting Controller of the channel after [[Janice Hadlow]] left the channel in March 2014 and until [[Kim Shillinglaw]] began as the new permanent occupant of the post.

From 2013, the Controller of BBC Two was given the expanded title Controller of BBC Two and [[BBC Four]], with ultimate oversight of the BBC Four service added to their duties (a BBC Four "Channel Editor", reporting up to this Controller, was allocated day-to-day operational control of Four). 
The channel forms part of the [[BBC Television]] executive group and is answerable to the head of that department, and to the [[BBC Board]].

On 20 January 2016, [[Kim Shillinglaw]] announced that she had decided to leave the BBC as the Controller of BBC Two & BBC Four; as a result of the reorganisation, the posts of Controller of BBC Two and BBC Four were closed.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/controller-tv-and-iplayer |title=Strategic reorganisation of BBC TV sees Charlotte Moore appointed Controller, TV Channels and iPlayer|website=BBC |access-date=12 November 2018 |date=19 January 2016}}</ref>
