Today those efforts run in different parts of the org; your job is to run them as one portfolio with one roadmap. We build products that turn information into understanding grounded in trusted human-created sourcesand we own the data structure and intelligence that make a corpus this large useful.

• Connect supply to demand: partner with the consumer product orgs so the corpus grows where it creates the most value for readers learners and subscribers.

• Own the AI product foundation of our UGC corpus: segmentation sampling corpus description and the metadata and retrieval capabilities. The scope is the UGC corpus only: content in our premium catalogs is not part of it.

• Partner with business development on evolving corpus intelligence needs.

• Lead senior product leaders and an established program with its own charter engineering squads and embedded analysts.

• Step into a team with strong people already in seat: earn trust quickly raise the bar and multiply the leaders around you.

• Operate as a peer among directors and VPs: represent content strategy in executive conversations with clarity and confidence and connect corpus decisions to business outcomes.

• 10 years of product management experience including 4 years leading product teams or senior PMs.

• Genuine data fluencyyou can credibly direct classification and corpus-analysis work and partner with applied ML and data science teams as an equal even if you dont build the models yourself.

• Familiarity with common data structures around the use of content for AI training.

• Experience with supply-side or two-sided product dynamics: creators contributors sellers or content acquisition.

• A strategic operator who connects content decisions to business outcomeslicensing revenue product quality growthand can hold a portfolio-level roadmap.
