Job Purpose
Product Group is responsible for the design, development, and delivery of the BBC's portfolio of digital products. Our mission comes straight from the BBC's four priorities: to deliver content that is loved by all audiences, and to extract more from online by joining up the whole of the BBC to connect more deeply with our audiences.
Including iPlayer, Sounds, Bitesize, and the BBC News and BBC Sport apps and website, our portfolio is diverse and contains some of the largest and highest-profile properties on the UK internet. We're a huge streaming media destination, a news source trusted across the world, a provider of educational and entertaining content to children of all ages, and a sports results, analysis, and commentary service, and much more besides. It's an unparalleled portfolio of products, and our strength is our range and breadth. Working with the BBC's content divisions, our focus now is on driving engagement across our portfolio so that the BBC online becomes a valued daily habit for all audiences just as television and radio have been over the last century.
Data is fundamental to our future: both in helping us prioritise and shape our work and in creating richer, more personalised experiences for our audiences. And our portfolio means that we've got one of the widest, most diverse, and most exciting datasets to work within the UK.
This is a new role that will support the transformation of the data platform. Sitting in the newly formed Product Data Domains team you will be developing the data products that will be responsible for delivering data throughout the organisation. The team's focus is on developing highly governed trusted datasets that act as a single source of truth for the organisation. You will work in an agile team alongside Product Data managers, data workflow analysts, data modelers and data operations managers, ensuring that all work delivers maximum value to the BBC.
You will be working on cross-product strategic projects and cutting-edge technologies, surrounded by like-minded people. This work will align with and help inform the short and long-term data strategy.
