You will be part of a product team that will support you in delivering the product roadmap and supporting the Head of Product and Principle Product Managers in shaping the future of our products.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Balance short-term delivery with long-term platform vision, making trade-offs explicit and maintaining momentum across your workstream.
• Help manage the product roadmap across your given area, providing options to stakeholder groups in order to gain approval.
• Closely work with the wider Technology teams to ensure they have an understanding of requirements at an early stage.
• End to end management and delivery of products in line with business and product strategy.
• Manage relationships with other teams throughout the organisation that are required to ensure successful product deliveries.

What we’re looking for from you:

• Proven experience and track record of leading digital product teams within a fast-paced media, publishing, or consumer tech environment.

What’s in it for you? We are a diverse and dynamic team, with opportunities to learn and
