Description

The company is a next-generation global media and entertainment business with three segments: Studios, Direct-to-Consumer and TV Media.

This manager role leads program management for the Revenue & Growth vertical within the Digital Program Management Office, covering Ad Experience, Commerce and Growth initiatives.

You will manage a team of program managers and set the planning, execution and reporting standards they follow.

You will work with Product, Tech, Design (PTD) and Program Operations leaders to turn group strategy into one roadmap and set shared ways of working across teams.

The work covers multi-quarter initiatives, OKR alignment and reporting, cross-team dependencies, and clear visibility for leadership on progress, risks, tradeoffs and investment choices.

Responsibilities

• Coach and grow a team of program managers, giving them clear priorities, defined roles and consistent expectations.
• Build a team that values accountability, operational rigor, collaboration and ongoing improvement.
• Decide how program management support is split across the area based on strategy, delivery needs and capacity.
• Own tracking and reporting for the Revenue & Growth portfolio so that progress, milestones, risks and dependencies stay visible.
• Turn group-level planning into one roadmap that ties product, technology and design investment to business priorities and measurable outcomes.
• Define initiatives with clear scope, success measures, sequencing and cross-team dependencies across squads and workstreams.
• Act as the main point of coordination between Product, Tech, Design and Program Operations leaders for the area.
• Work with PTD leads to set up, refine and run effective ways of working across squads and workstreams.
• Drive continuous planning and alignment, influencing decisions across stakeholder groups without relying only on formal authority.
• Set governance models, operating rhythms and standard workflows that make delivery predictable and decisions effective.
• Track execution across squads and make sure global workflows, OKRs and operating standards are followed, working with Program Operations.
• Maintain area workstreams that define ownership, flag risks early and help teams manage interdependencies ahead of time.
• Lead OKR creation, alignment and tracking across Product, Tech and Design for the vertical.
• Use financial modeling and business context to inform prioritization, investment and long-range planning.
• Provide data-driven insight and executive reporting that supports decisions and shows program-level impact.

• Experience managing and developing program managers or similar roles, and building high-performing teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• A track record of owning portfolio-level planning, roadmap alignment, governance and execution across several teams or squads.
• Experience setting up operating models, ways of working and reporting that make delivery more consistent and transparent.
• Ability to run complex multi-quarter planning with heavy cross-team dependencies and shifting business priorities.
• Experience leading OKR development, performance tracking and executive reporting across Product, Tech and Design.
• Comfort using data, metrics and financial modeling for prioritization, tradeoff discussions and investment planning.
• Strong problem solving: spotting risks early, giving sound recommendations and driving resolution in unclear situations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to influence senior leaders and align varied stakeholder groups.
• Clear people leadership, including coaching, performance management and building an inclusive, high-accountability team.
• Ability to work with high autonomy while balancing strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
