Within PV’s Worldwide Product Organization, the Content Foundation team’s mission is to help customers discover meaningful content on-time and to power impactful experiences for PV’s customers globally. We enable Partners to onboard their content to PV, and enrich it to ensure completeness, accuracy, and accessibility for all customers. We achieve this by working cross-organizationally, leveraging operational and AI-driven levers, and creating foundational capabilities that enable speed and scale at the lowest cost to address the unique challenges posed by PV’s size.
As Sr. Manager, Content Lifecycle and Enrichment, you lead a team of other Managers and Sr. Product Managers to build products and services that support the global delivery of defect-free, on-time metadata and video content to our customers through the entire supply chain--from ingestion to when a customer hits the “play” button. You own the end-to-end quality of title content delivered to customers worldwide. You and your team own the ingestion services, work with science teams to build quality detection and correction models, and enhance content with customer-delighting features. You and your team define and deliver new customer experiences based on foundational catalog capabilities. Your team partners most closely with engineering and science teams to deliver your product, but you have close collaborations with other product teams across PV, Public Policy, PR, Legal, and a deep partner ship with the Advertising team, as you are a primary enabler of their PV Ad product. Leading a team that drives innovation is a key part of this role. In order to be successful in this position, you need to be comfortable interfacing with and driving various technical and business functional teams and individuals at all levels of the company and around the world. This role requires a high degree of autonomy, self-possession, humility, humor, drive, and innovation. Your ability to communicate and influence others will be a key to success.
