We’re looking for a smart and talented product owner, an expert in their field who can come in and teach us a thing or two while ambitiously learning from a stellar team. 

Video is a core component of the world-class journalism tronc creates every day through brands like Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.  We are seeking a video product guru to join our team in the Los Angeles office. The video Product Manager will help us define the tronc video offerings, platform and grow our audience. The ideal candidate balances left-brain/right-brain modes to nurture user, business and content needs while optimizing for system efficiencies.

The person in this role works shoulder-to-shoulder with our Design, Tech, Marketing, Editorial and Business teams to develop and manage features. The Product Manager will become best friends with our data groups to understand platform performance and user behavior, planning optimization accordingly. He/She knows when, how, and why users engage with our video, manages the unique needs of homegrown video vs. content from feeds, works with the people and systems managing our CMS, manages hosting, transcoding and ad serving integrations and optimizations.

The video Product Manager owns the roadmap, manages communication with stakeholders and leadership, secures resources, and validates prioritization based on organizational goals and KPIs. We’re looking for somebody who can clearly and concisely express his or her points, know when to constructively say no, and diplomatically get everyone to yes.
