Your New Role
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the evolution of Keystone, an internal production technology platform that serves as the front door to the content supply chain. Keystone supports productions from initial intake through final asset delivery, connecting production teams, vendors, QC, localization, and internal distribution systems.
This role sits at the intersection of production, post-production, engineering, and operations. The Senior Product Manager will be responsible for defining product strategy, translating real production needs into scalable platform solutions, and ensuring Keystone continues to meet the demands of a rapidly growing portfolio of shows, users, and workflows.
This is not a consumer application role. Keystone is a complex, business-critical platform used daily by both internal and external teams working under tight schedules and pressure.

Balance short-term production needs with long-term platform scalability and sustainability
Design an operations-first user experience that seamlessly lifts terrestrial and manual workflows into cloud-enabled, highly automated solutions
Partner with systems architects to build a future-state, hybrid supply chain that supports both high touch craftsmanship as well as streamlined, machine-driven workflows
Production Workflow Expertise
Develop a deep understanding of end-to-end production, post-production, finishing, and distribution workflows
Translate real-world production pain points into clear, actionable product requirements
Ensure Keystone supports how teams actually operate—not just how systems are designed on paper

Visit key WBD locations to capture and comprehend workflows from the ground up

Requirements & Delivery
Write clear product requirements, user stories, and workflow documentation
Decompose complex business needs into actionable instructions
Partner closely with engineering to scope, prioritize, and deliver features
Participate in strategic roadmap planning, backlog refinement, and sprint planning
User Experience & Adoption
Advocate for usability in a system used by production staff under constant deadline pressure
Collect feedback from vendors and internal users
Drive adoption by ensuring the platform is intuitive, reliable, and aligned with real production needs
Optimize the platform for E2E workflow observability and operational effectiveness
Operational Awareness
Understand how product decisions impact:
Internal/external user onboarding
Asset movement and storage
Transcode, QC, and localization pipelines
Metadata, packaging, and delivery processes
Security and content protection requirements
Qualifications
5+ years of Product Management experience
Experience in media & entertainment, production, post-production, or content supply chain workflows
Proven ability to translate complex operational processes into clear product requirements
Experience working with technical teams and understanding system integrations
Strong stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical groups
Preferred Experience
Asset management, media pipelines, or workflow systems
Vendor ecosystems and external partner integrations
Internal enterprise platforms rather than consumer products
Localization, QC, or content delivery workflows
10+ years of Product and/or Program Management experience in the Media & Ent space
Industry-recognized credentials such as MBA, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSPO, CSM, AWS-CP, CPM
