Job Description

- Gracenote's Data Platform is the central hub for millions of pieces of TV entertainment data used daily by clients and partners worldwide. It provides the critical services that structure and model data for our editorial, ingest, and delivery systems. This data powers entertainment solutions for the top cable, OTT, CE, and digital clients, reaching hundreds of millions of consumers.
- We are hiring a lead product manager to own this platform from our Bengaluru engineering center. This role has a deliberate arc.
- Initially, this is a hands-on role. You will write specs and requirements yourself, work directly with engineers and data architects, analyze data with your own queries, and build deep fluency in the platform. We are looking for someone senior who still genuinely enjoys this work.
- As the platform and your fluency mature, the role expands into a player-coach position, which will build and mentor a product team in India while remaining close to the platform. Candidates should be excited by both halves of this trajectory, not just the second one.
- You will be the lead product presence co-located with our engineering organization, partnering across time zones with Dataset and Delivery Product Managers and commercial stakeholders based in the US and Europe. This is not a satellite role. It is that the product anchor for our engineering center.




- An ideal candidate will have 8+ years of Product Management experience and a proven track record of end-to-end ownership and delivering results.

Responsibilities

- Own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for Gracenote's Data Platform, the system that structures and models complex TV entertainment data for internal consumers and clients alike.

- Work closely with Global Dataset and Delivery Product Managers to understand the business problems in creating and structuring complex entertainment data, and translate those needs into a clear, prioritized roadmap.

- Partner directly with engineering teams and Data Architects to shape data models, write detailed requirements, and drive hand-on execution, especially in the first phase of the role.

- Define and own the platform's key input and output metrics. Establish platform SLAs and quality measures, and publish them so internal and external consumers can hold the platform accountable.

- Operate effectively across a globally distributed organization: solid async written communication, disciplined documentation, and willingness to flex hours for overlap with US/EU stakeholders.

- Over time, hire, mentor, and grow a high-performing product team in India while remaining an active individual contributor on the most complex platform problems.
