Formación

• 5+ years of product management experience on a digital product team.
• Strong understanding of video streaming technologies, CDNs, encoding, playback optimization, and digital video advertising.
• Sharp product instincts: you lead roadmap conversations, spot what's missing.

Responsabilidades

• Own the operational health of the video and ads backlogs: grooming, ticket hygiene, user stories, sprint tracking, and release readiness across two squads.
• Lead coordination across a vendor ecosystem that includes the video player, encoding/pipeline, video analytics and observability, casting and cross-device continuity, and ad insertion partners — including holding vendors accountable to commitments and evaluating technical tradeoffs.
• Translate product direction into well-scoped product spec docs and ensure they stay accurate as work evolves.
• Own release tracking and delivery reporting, proactively surfacing risks and blockers before they become misses.
• Serve as the connective tissue between platform teams, engineering, QA, design, and external partners on a daily basis.
• Drive roadmap and strategy conversations across Video and Ads — leading opportunity identification, initiative sizing, and prioritization decisions.
• Partner with the Ads Product Director to develop and maintain the ads roadmap; help shape what goes on it, not just execute what’s there.
• Identify new product opportunities across streaming and monetization — bring structured thinking to early-stage ideas and develop them into business cases.
• Stay close to industry trends in streaming media, programmatic advertising, and emerging platforms; bring relevant signals back to the team and influence direction.
