Technical Product Manager, Content Systems Automation at Paramount Skydance

Job description

Storytelling is, and will always be, the heart of what we do at Skydance. Our vision is to build a thriving entertainment ecosystem where stories and worlds are imagined, brought to life and experienced. We create for every age and audience, anchored by the strength of our content and experiences and the depth of our connection with fans. We are creator-first, audience-focused, tech-forward, globally scaled. Here, you’ll work with talented teams that move fast, think boldly and collaborate with purpose to deliver results. We aim high, champion the best ideas and win together, earning the trust of our employees, creators, partners and audiences every day. If you’re energized by the opportunity to help build the next-generation global media and entertainment company powered by creativity and technology, we’d be thrilled to welcome you aboard. LET’S GO! Overview: As a member of the Paramount+ Content Systems Product team, you will help shape the automation strategy for our tools and systems. These are the systems that power our global streaming experiences. What an exciting place to be! Your mission is to learn the manual, hands-on challenges of our partner teams. Then you build the right solutions to solve the right problems at the right time. You will play a key role in keeping Paramount+ running efficiently. We are growing to millions of new subscribers around the world! This team cares about solving problems and improving workflows for the people we work with each day. Together, we build forward-looking tools that scale right along with our business. Responsibilities: • Operational Excellence: Partner with Video and Content Operations to learn where the gaps are in our content supply chain. Then turn those needs into a clear automation plan we can act on. • Systems Mapping: Map how our content systems connect from end to end - data flows, handoffs, and dependencies. Then use that picture to find where and how to automate. • Process Automation: Guide the product development of our Content Systems. This includes rights, title, and media asset management. Your sharp focus: automate manual, high-touch workflows! • AI & Innovation: Find and roll out AI-driven solutions that help our operations teams work more effectively. Think automated metadata extraction, AI-assisted QC, and auto-created localized assets! • Technical Documentation: Share a clear vision for technical work. Write up scope, use cases, workflows, and sequence diagrams. • Agile Execution: Lead scrum team activities such as grooming, planning, and setting priorities. That way, our development teams always have what they need to succeed. • Stakeholder Alignment: Bring partners in product, tech, and operations together on delivery scope. Then get set for exciting global launches! Basic Qualifications: • Experience: 2-4 years in software product management. You know how to put business value first and weigh trade-offs. • Systems Thinking: Ability to map and visualize how complex, interconnected systems work together end-to-end - understanding not just individual tools but the relationships between them - in order to identify where and how to automate across the workflow. • Automation Mindset: A proven passion for building workflow tools. You want them to be a "joy to use" for internal teams! • Technical Depth: Deep comfort with complex technical workflow systems. Engineering experience or a background in AI/ML is a big plus. • Domain Knowledge: A strong interest in the streaming media world and the content supply chain. • Collaboration: You build caring, trusting relationships across teams. This helps product work run smoothly, even in a complex space. • Agile Expertise: Lots of hands-on Agile experience. You also have excellent communication skills.
