The opportunity for a Head of Product to play a pivotal role in shaping the future product landscape of a major media company.

This is a senior leadership role at the intersection of product strategy, delivery, and organisational influence. You'll define the vision and roadmap for our owned and operated platforms, while acting as a strategic partner to senior and C-level stakeholders, bringing a consultative lens that connects internal priorities with external market dynamics.

You'll combine deep product expertise with outward-looking insight - ensuring our streaming experience remains competitive, distinctive, and aligned to evolving viewer behaviours and commercial opportunities.

What You'll Do

  • Define and evolve the product strategy for our streaming platforms, aligning viewer needs, commercial performance, brand, and public service remit
  • Set a clear product vision and long-term roadmap, supported by compelling executive storytelling and robust business cases
  • Act as a trusted strategic advisor to senior leadership, influencing decisions through insight, data, and market perspective
  • Bring an external, consultative lens - leveraging competitor analysis, market trends, and emerging technologies to shape direction
  • Own and deliver an outcome-based roadmap, ensuring measurable impact and alignment to long-term goals
  • Partner with third-party vendors and influence global product roadmaps to represent our priorities and customer needs
  • Champion a streaming-first mindset, embedding best-in-class product practices and ways of working across the organisation
  • Establish clear prioritisation frameworks, grounded in data, experimentation, and user insight
  • Lead product discovery and innovation, identifying new opportunities for growth, engagement, and differentiation
  • Act as a thought partner to the Product Director, helping position our platform as a market leader

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a strategic, commercially-minded product leader with strong influence and delivery capability:

  • Proven experience leading product strategy and delivery in digital, streaming, media, or technology environments
  • Highly data-driven, with advanced understanding of product metrics, experimentation, and performance optimisation
  • Strong commercial acumen, balancing user needs with revenue and business objectives
  • Experience managing and influencing third-party vendors or technology partners
  • Skilled in product storytelling, simplifying complexity for executive audiences

Why This Role?

  • Shape the future of a major UK streaming platform at scale
  • Influence high-impact strategic decisions at senior and C-level
  • Combine strategy, innovation, and delivery in a single role
  • Work at the centre of a fast-evolving, digitally transforming organisation
  • Bring an external perspective to drive competitive advantage
