Product Owner in City of London

Job description

Job Title: Media Supply Chain Product Owner

Location: Central London

Reports to: VP of Product

We are seeking a seasoned Product Owner with hands-on experience in Media Supply Chain and MAM (Media Asset Management) systems. This is an exciting opportunity to take the lead in building and delivering a brand-new MAM platform as part of our client’s global Digital Transformation Programme.

You’ll have the autonomy to shape a product from the ground up, define best-in-class workflows, and work with a global user base to drive value across the organization. This role offers the perfect challenge for someone looking to own a product in a “greenfield” environment, and influence how content is managed and distributed worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the MAM Product Vision
• Own and execute the product strategy aligned with the organisation’s wider media supply chain goals. Define the roadmap, advocate for continuous improvement, and ensure wide adoption across the business.
• Business Ownership
• Act as the voice of the business, developing a deep understanding of operational needs. Ensure the MAM platform meets evolving requirements for metadata, access, integrations, workflows, and storage.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Governance
• Lead the MAM Product Council. Liaise with internal stakeholders, vendors, and consultants. Facilitate workshops, governance meetings, and maintain transparent communication with all parties.
• Requirements Gathering & Prioritisation
• Collaborate with global teams to document, refine, and prioritise requirements. Balance business needs and competing demands across markets to deliver value through thoughtful feature development.
• Product Development Oversight
• Manage the full product lifecycle—from backlog management and user stories to acceptance testing and go-live. Work closely with developers, architects, and third-party vendors to deliver seamless releases.
• System Configuration & Support
• Act as Super Admin for the application—configure user access, troubleshoot issues, and oversee security compliance. Define and implement integration requirements with third-party systems.
• Performance & Analytics
• Define KPIs, SLAs and support analytics to measure performance and optimise user engagement.

About the Product

The Media Asset Management (MAM) system will be a globally accessible platform for cataloguing our client’s digital master assets—final content masters, promo materials, cue sheets, and more. It will support end-to-end media workflows including edit, localisation, and distribution. As a core component of the company’s media supply chain, the MAM will enable more consistent, efficient, and scalable operations across global teams.

What We’re Looking For

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years in the media industry, particularly in a product owner or media supply chain role
• Hands-on experience with MAM platforms, ideally in hybrid or cloud environments
• Strong understanding of metadata, content lifecycles, archive policies, and content standards
• Proven experience delivering enterprise products in agile environments
• Solid grasp of API integrations, SaaS platforms, data governance, and user access frameworks
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Experience coordinating global teams and leading product councils or governance boards
• Ability to work independently, adapt to change, and manage multiple priorities

Desirable Skills

• Familiarity with OTT and linear broadcasting workflows
• Knowledge of tools like Avid, Adobe panel integrations, AWS MAM services
• Certification or experience in Agile, Prince2, or other PM frameworks
• Experience in business case creation and presenting to executive audiences
• Commercial understanding of business functions and system interdependencies
