Our work spans from core studio services to industry-leading content management platforms, offering Product Managers broad remits and the opportunity to make a significant impact.

The Role

As the Product Manager for Live Media Management & Integrations, you will own critical products and capabilities for the efficient production, management, and distribution of live and sports media. This senior, platform-focused role requires defining the multi-quarter strategy and technical direction for live media ingestion, classification, management, sharing, and integration across the production and distribution ecosystem. Operating at the intersection of production workflows, platform architecture, and system integrations, you will lead complex initiatives to build scalable platforms supporting real-time editorial, creative workflows, cross-team coordination, and downstream use cases for Content, Production, Ads, Marketing, and Live Streaming. You will partner closely with engineering, data, and partner teams to standardize live media flow, ensuring asset reliability, discoverability, and usability at scale. This involves making thoughtful long-term platform bets, navigating technical tradeoffs, and aligning diverse stakeholders around shared infrastructure.

This role is based in Los Angeles or Los Gatos (hybrid), or remotely from the West Coast. Regular monthly travel to Los Angeles and Los Gatos is expected for in-person collaboration.

What You Will Do

• Lead deep discovery into how live production media is created, ingested, shared, and consumed across production, broadcast, and downstream teams.
• Define scalable, standardized approaches to live media metadata, asset management, and system integrations.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to design and evolve platforms that support real-time workflows, reliability, and global scale.
• Drive initiatives that introduce automation and intelligent tooling to reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency across media workflows and regional teams.
• Balance immediate partner needs with long-term platform investments, making thoughtful tradeoffs to maximize durability and impact.
• Translate complex system interactions into clear product direction, requirements, and delivery plans.
• Use data, operational insights, and partner feedback to measure success and guide iteration.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships and operate with transparency, autonomy, and accountability.
• Operate with true transparency and autonomy. Our culture is unique and is key to how we innovate.

What We’re Looking For

• 6+ years of Product Management experience, including ownership of large-scale platforms, integrations, or content/media management systems.
• Proven ability to define product strategy and lead multi-quarter initiatives in highly technical, cross-functional environments.
• Deep understanding of media management, asset workflows, or system integrations within live streaming, sports, or media ecosystems.
• Strong technical fluency, with experience partnering closely with engineering teams on APIs, data models, and platform architecture.
• Experience leveraging automation or AI-enabled capabilities to improve workflow efficiency and system reliability (deep ML expertise not required).
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with a track record of aligning diverse teams around shared infrastructure.
• A self-directed leader who thrives in ambiguity and is motivated by building durable, foundational systems that enable others to move faster.
