Director, Product Management - Content Lifecycle

Nielsen is a leader in media insights, dedicated to powering a better media future. They are seeking a Director for their Content Lifecycle Product, responsible for architecting PRISM's commercial intelligence engine and overseeing its integration into financial institutions and studios.

Responsibilities:

• Architect PRISM's commercial intelligence engine for the film, TV, and streaming lifecycle — from development and financing through theatrical release, streaming distribution, and catalog monetization
• Design and own proprietary ROI and Greenlight Simulation models that banks, studios, and financiers will use as the primary basis for multi-million dollar funding decisions
• Build the composite market view architecture, unifying social sentiment, theatrical performance, and streaming consumption data into a single authoritative content valuation model
• Own the enterprise workflow integration strategy across financial institutions, major studios, and distributors — including mandatory embedding into underwriting software, rights management systems, and greenlighting tools
• Define API architecture and integration standards for institutional partners, with full accountability for compliance, data governance, and security requirements in high-stakes financial contexts
• Drive systemic integration depth: volume and quality of proprietary API integrations across institutional systems is a primary performance metric
• Lead governed, persona-specific interface design across distinct stakeholder groups: High-Fidelity Risk View for bank compliance committees, Creative Performance View for studio development teams, and Distribution Intelligence View for global distributors
• Establish UX standards and design governance for the content lifecycle module, ensuring interface consistency and data fidelity across all user personas
• Represent PRISM at the C-suite level with studio, banking, and investment firm clients — credibility and authority in these relationships is a commercial prerequisite for enterprise retention
• Partner with Sales and Account Management on enterprise contract negotiations, renewal strategy, and platform expansion within key accounts
• Own the full product roadmap for the content lifecycle module, setting priorities and tradeoffs across engineering, data science, design, and go-to-market teams
• Operate with independence — making architectural decisions, managing stakeholder expectations, and resolving cross-functional conflicts without VP escalation for routine matters

Requirements:

• 8–12+ years in product management, with at least 4 years in a Director-level or equivalent role owning complex B2B platform products
• Demonstrated experience building or scaling data intelligence platforms in content, media, entertainment, or adjacent industries (fintech, MarTech, or AdTech with media clients also considered)
• Track record of direct enterprise client engagement at the VP/C-suite level, including ownership of commercial relationships and contract negotiations
• Deep understanding of content financing, distribution, and rights economics — familiarity with how studios, banks, and distributors evaluate content investments
• Proficiency with predictive modeling concepts, statistical forecasting, and data architecture sufficient to evaluate model quality and make architectural tradeoffs
• Experience with enterprise API integration strategy and data governance in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments
• Demonstrated ability to architect from zero — greenfield product builds with no legacy infrastructure or established playbook
• Operates with executive-level independence; does not require VP oversight for day-to-day architectural decisions
• Credible, confident communicator with C-suite counterparts at studios, banks, and investment firms
• Strong cross-functional leadership — able to align engineering, data science, design, and commercial teams around a shared roadmap
• Experience with financial services or enterprise workflow integration in compliance-sensitive environments strongly preferred
