Job description

Описание

FX Digital is a specialist Connected TV agency, providing a wide range of services, including Product Strategy, Design, Engineering, and Test Automation. We partner with global streaming brands such as Discovery+, BritBox, ATP Media, ITV, and Dyn. Owns end-to-end delivery on complex or multi-workstream projects: planning, RAID, budgets, forecasting, margin and change control, anticipating risk before it's raised.

Задачи

Planning - build integrated plans across workstreams, manage the cross-workstream critical path, and model scenarios to support decisions. Risk & RAID - anticipate systemic risk across workstreams and drive mitigation across teams; keep RAID decision-ready, so it's used as the source of truth in client and leadership reviews. Change control - run change control across your projects, taking every CR through approval. Agile & continuous delivery - tailor the agile approach across workstreams; use delivery metrics to forecast and spot risk early. Releases - work with Engineering to move projects towards continuous delivery (feature flags, automated release gates, frequent small releases), balanced against client approval and CTV platform certification. Product Owner role - act as Product Owner on smaller, less complex projects with no dedicated Product Manager, owning the backlog, prioritisation and acceptance criteria; judge when a dedicated Product Manager is needed instead. Delivery KPIs - keep schedule and cost variance, RAG-red weeks and project lifecycle sign-offs on track against department targets across complex portfolios. Budgets, forecasting & margin - own budgets, forecasting and margin across larger or concurrent projects, protecting margin proactively. Cadence - monitor weekly, re-forecast at least fortnightly, and flag any margin variance across all your projects. CR estimates - estimate change requests with the team before any commitment is made to the client. Time & overtime - track time accurately and follow the overtime request process where applicable. Forecast accuracy - keep forecast accuracy at or above the department KPIs. Client relationship management - act as the trusted senior contact for client stakeholders, building trust-based relationships and leading difficult conversations and negotiations unsupported. Status communication - keep client and internal senior stakeholders informed with proactive, consistent status updates across workstreams. Issue & defect communication - communicate issues, defects and bugs proactively, factually and promptly, including unwelcome news to senior stakeholders, always with options. Technical translation - frame technical trade-offs for senior or executive stakeholders, and challenge technical recommendations that don't serve the client outcome. Client feedback - seek regular client feedback across your projects and act on it, keeping client satisfaction at or above the department target and adopting a ‘yes, but’ approach where required. Tools & reporting - champion best practice across the team's tools. Innovation & continuous improvement - introduce new practices and tools on your projects, measure the results and share them; drive process improvement beyond your own projects. AI & new tools - lead adoption of FX-approved AI and automation tools across your workstreams, within FX tooling and client data policies. Team leadership & mentoring - formally mentor and/or manage junior colleagues and set the team culture on your projects, building a psychologically safe, accountable environment. Stakeholder management - resolve competing priorities between senior client and internal stakeholders without escalation (e.g. launch date vs stability, extra scope vs budget). Account growth - actively shape and pitch expansion opportunities, starting from what the client is trying to achieve. Impact assessments - own impact assessments for new or expanded scope, including delivery approach, risk and resourcing, and present them to the Commercial Team and client where applicable.

Требования

Judgement under pressure - consistently acts as a Project Leader, not a coordinator: anticipates problems before they land, brings solutions and a recommendation, makes the call on difficult trade-offs, and stays composed under pressure. Ownership - anticipates slippage; holds team and self to the same standard. Strategic thinking - shapes delivery approach and planning decisions; anticipates future account needs. Communication - reads senior and executive audiences and adapts the message in the moment. Candour - delivers unwelcome news to senior stakeholders, with options. Innovation mindset - actively looks for new practices and technology that improve delivery, and tests them rather than waiting for others to. Learning - shares what they learn across the department. Collaboration - creates an environment where mistakes are raised without blame. Influence - influences without authority across disciplines and senior stakeholders. 5-8 years leading complex or concurrent delivery, with demonstrated mentoring and/or management of other PMs, or equivalent demonstrated capability. Будет плюсом: Experience in a digital agency, ideally delivering apps or streaming products for multiple clients; Exposure to OTT/CTV, streaming, or broader digital product delivery; Experience building or improving a delivery process or templates that the department went on to adopt; Experience leading adoption of AI or new tooling within a delivery team
