We believe in better. And we make it happen.
Better content. Better products. And better careers.
Working in Tech, Product or Data at Sky is about building the next and the new. From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate.
We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love.
And we do it all right here at Sky.
For this role we offer the hybrid working approach with 2 days a week onsite in Osterley office.
What you'll do:
- Vision: Develop the long-term vision and strategy for assigned products; define success metrics and track progress against goals through building strong relationships to ensure our data products deliver to meet that business strategic goals.
- Outputs: Lead a team of Product Owners to develop detailed road maps, features specifications and user stories. You’ll also own the creation of compelling collateral and documentation for each product.
- Technical: Deliver solutions in a sensible way that’s mindful of future uses; use your knowledge to translate work and updates into clear language understandable to all; analyse market trends, competitive landscape and customer feedback to inform product decisions.
- Collaboration: Proactively work with colleagues, stakeholders and external partners on design implementation, and provide guidance on the technical feasibility of proposed solutions; create strong messaging documents and launch plans, and strive to stay ahead of what our customers need.
- Performance: Monitor performance metrics post-launch; identify opportunities for improvement or optimisation based on data analysis.
- Leadership: Embed a great working culture, and foster a strong sense of belonging; lead your team of Product Owners through change whilst retaining key talent, and play a full part as a member of the Extended Leadership Team - living the Sky values every day
What you'll bring:
- Data Products: You must have comprehensive experience of working in product management, with experience working specifically on data products rather than more generalised offerings. Your expertise positions you well as a coach, able to work with others to improve our wider ways of working in that space.
- Product: You will have experience in establishing Product and Agile ways of working, and leading and facilitating Agile ceremonies and also have experience in building data as a product. You’ll be used to owning and managing multiple products concurrently across a range of stakeholders. You convincingly present your product vision to a broad range of senior stakeholders across Sky on a regular basis.
- Technical Knowledge & Specialism: You must have a high degree of technical understanding. You’ll be comfortable partnering with and constructively challenging Engineers, Scientists, and Architects to define the art of the possible; specifically, you must have very strong SME knowledge in Residential Products as well as excellent knowledge of Sky’s processes and data products. You will be expected to immediately hit the ground running on key products and the processes behind them.
- Ways of working: You will proactively define and evolve your team’s way of working and will understand how Jira supports your team to deliver.
- Stakeholders and Gravitas: You will be expert at working with stakeholders. You will already have fantastic relationships with key contacts across Sky, where your ability to get the job done will depend on working together from the outset; you will also have great communication and inter-personal skills, and demonstrable experience, up to Director level and beyond, of managing stakeholders, understanding and representing their needs, and providing senior updates
- People: You will have a track record of doing your best to help others around you to be successful; you may already be a manager, but in any event you will be able to demonstrate involvement in initiatives that benefit others – it’s something that comes naturally to you and which you will bring to the role.
Team overview:
Our vision is to enable Sky’s growth ambitions though Data and AI: deepening customer relationships, optimising commercial performance, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Our Lead Product Owners help to provide the North Star of what we’re building and why, and they support our teams to determine how we get there.
Our Product and Viewing Domain is part of the Enterprise Enablement and Compliance Directorate within Sky Data. It’s where we build and maintain data products and data assets to better understand what happens in our customers’ homes. From what was watched, on what device, for how long, on what software, through to supporting the business make vital decisions on what content to commission and supporting our £1b a year media business. We work as part of cross-functional teams driving exciting roadmaps; we also support broader work where we help to transform how things get done. That means we’re at the heart of the action, supporting and working on the products that keep our business competitive, as well as compliant.
Whether we’re helping to create magic on screen via the products people watch, or using data and AI to improve how our business is set up behind the scenes, one thing’s for sure – this is a winning team that collaborates across Sky to make a genuine difference.
