About the position

As a Product Owner at Pixelogic Media Partners, you will play a crucial role in the requirements drafting, prioritization, and delivery of the Pixelogic platform applications to both internal and external customers. Your primary responsibility will be to act as a customer advocate, engaging with user groups to gather insights and set a product direction that aligns with the company's overarching strategy and goals. This engagement lifecycle encompasses initial discussions with users, assessing their needs, synthesizing product requirements, planning the engineering efforts, and supporting the solution delivery through deployment and post-release activities, including user acceptance testing and hypercare support. The position is particularly focused on the pHelix Distribution Authoring platform, which is currently transitioning from sophisticated standalone tools used on-premises to a more integrated ecosystem of components that facilitate cloud workflows. This evolution aims to enhance the efficiency of content delivery on a global scale. As the Product Owner, you will lead the effort to refactor and reorganize the Distribution Authoring tools and processes, ensuring seamless integration with the broader pHelix ecosystem, which includes orders, assets, metadata, and orchestration.

In this role, you will be part of a dynamic team that is dedicated to pushing forward products that deliver some of the most complex, innovative, and time-sensitive entertainment content in the world. Your contributions will be vital in shaping the future of the pHelix platform, making it a key player in the digital distribution landscape.
