Job Description

Digital Asset Management (DAM) Product Owner

Location: UK / Hybrid

Full-Time / Permanent

Business Area: Audio | Reporting into: Group Technology Director – Audio

Bauer Media Audio is building the future of content creation and delivery — and we need a Product Owner to help us manage the engine behind it all: our Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform.

As we roll out our new cloud-based broadcasting solution across nine European markets, we’re also revolutionising how our audio assets are stored, searched, shared, and reused. This role will own the vision, evolution, and delivery of our DAM solution to empower creators, producers, and editorial teams across Bauer Media.

Your Mission:

You’ll be the champion of all things DAM – ensuring our content is easily accessible, consistently structured, and scalable across markets. Sitting at the heart of our technology transformation, you’ll gather requirements, manage priorities, and work closely with our technology partners to deliver a solution that adds real value to our creative workflows.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own the Product Vision: Define and evolve the roadmap for the DAM system to support Bauer’s content creation strategy.
• Gather & Translate Requirements: Collaborate with editorial, technical, and commercial teams to understand their needs and translate them into technical requirements.
• Drive Agile Delivery: Work closely with internal delivery teams and third-party vendors to manage backlog, prioritise features and ensure successful rollouts.
• Ensure Adoption & Training: Build relationships with users across all nine markets, supporting rollout, adoption and ongoing training where needed.
• Data & Metadata Governance: Ensure the system promotes consistency, discoverability and usage through strong metadata frameworks and user practices.
• Integration Oversight: Ensure seamless integration between the DAM and other tools in our broadcasting and digital ecosystem (e.g., playout, production, CMS, archives).

What You Bring:

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or Manager for a Digital Asset Management platform, ideally within media, broadcast, or digital publishing.
• Strong understanding of asset workflows, metadata management and content lifecycle.
• Experience working in Agile environments with internal and external stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — you’ll be the bridge between creative teams and tech.
• A strategic mindset with attention to detail — balancing user needs with system scalability and governance.

You Are:

• Organised, user-focused and technically curious
• A strong communicator and translator between creative and technical stakeholders
• Collaborative, with the ability to lead without authority
• Passionate about content, systems, and structure
• Fluent in Business English

Why This Role Matters:

DAM isn’t just a system — it’s the backbone of how we create and distribute content. In this role, you'll be empowering Bauer's content creators across Europe to work smarter, faster, and more collaboratively.
