Product Manager, Commercial

As a Product Manager within our Commercial Platforms Team, you will support the development of Nine’s mission-critical programming and broadcast fulfillment engine (Phoenix). You’ll play a key role in enabling the business objectives around how best to show schedules, promos, and commercial advertisements into a single master playlist for both linear and digital television.

You will work within a high-performing engineering squad to translate complex business processes into precise technical requirements. You will act as a strategic partner to the Programming, Broadcast Operations, and Finance teams, using logical, data-backed roadmaps to ensure we deliver a seamless platform that powers Nine's content strategy.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the end-to-end lifecycle for Phoenix features, from initial discovery and user story creation to launch and post-launch optimisation.

• Evaluate and map workflows to ensure seamless integration of programming and rights management requirements and business processes.

• Facilitate grooming sessions and maintain a prioritised backlog with clear, actionable acceptance criteria for your dedicated engineering squad.

• Partner with Engineers and QE to manage software development processes, including the conceptual design of APIs, data models, and system integrations.

• Apply clear frameworks to manage competing business needs and maintain a high-velocity, high-impact roadmap.

• Contribute delivery insights and stakeholder feedback to the overall Programming & Rights Management System (PRMS) vision and the broader commercial strategy.

• Define key metrics and analyse post-launch data to identify areas for iterative improvement, ensuring the platform delivers the expected value to the business.
