Principal Product Manager

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox Corporation Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.

FOX News Media is looking for a Principal Product Manager to own the video product experience across FOX News digital properties. This is a senior individual contributor role for a video product leader who combines deep technical fluency in player technology and content delivery infrastructure with the product instincts to translate that knowledge into exceptional audience experiences. This role reports directly to the head of product and partners closely with editorial video leadership, ensuring that content strategy and product strategy remain tightly aligned.

You will be the product authority on everything related to how FOX News digital audiences find, start, and experience video; from the player to the pipeline that feeds it. The right candidate has done this before at a meaningful scale. You understand how live streaming infrastructure works end-to-end, you can engage engineering teams on player architecture and delivery pipeline decisions with credibility, and you know how to build video product experiences that perform under the pressure of breaking news and peak traffic moments.

This is a high-visibility role with executive exposure and you will be expected to communicate strategy and performance clearly at the senior leadership level.

• Own the end-to-end video product strategy for FOX News digital: live streaming, VOD, vertical video, and the destinations and surfaces that serve video audiences across web and mobile
• Define and maintain a roadmap that reflects audience needs, editorial priorities, technical constraints, and business objectives, sequenced against the broader content and engagement roadmap
• Identify opportunities to differentiate the FOX News digital video experience and build toward a best-in-class product standard for a live news environment
• Coordinate with adjacent PMs where video creates dependencies, in particular around tentpole events, content discovery surfaces, and personalization

• Serve as the product authority on video player technology, understanding playback behavior, player SDK capabilities and constraints, adaptive bitrate streaming, and the performance metrics that define a quality video experience
• Develop and maintain deep fluency in the content delivery workflows and pipelines that feed the player: encoding and transcoding, packaging, CDN delivery, metadata management, and video asset workflows
• Partner directly with engineering teams responsible for player development and delivery infrastructure. You’ll need to write requirements, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and make informed product decisions that account for pipeline realities
• Define the performance standards for the video experience from startup time, buffering rate, quality adaptation, and error handling, and work with engineering to instrument, monitor, and continually improve against them
• Identify pipeline gaps or constraints that limit the product experience and elevate with clear requirements and business impact framing

• Own the product readiness standard for live video during breaking news and major events, including load testing, failover planning, and real-time monitoring protocols
• Partner with the Tentpoles to ensure the video experience is ready for and differentiated during FNM's highest-traffic moments
• Define the product experience for live news streaming across all access states whether authenticated, unauthenticated, metered, and fully open, and ensure the experience serves both business and audience goals

• Maintain a strong working relationship with editorial video leadership, ensuring product decisions reflect content strategy priorities and that editorial teams have the product surfaces they need to deliver video effectively
• Translate editorial video priorities into product requirements, bridging the gap between what editorial wants to publish and what the product can reliably deliver at scale
• Manage the dotted-line stakeholder relationship with editorial video leadership with professionalism and clarity, keeping alignment high without allowing content strategy to direct product architecture decisions

• Write clear, detailed PRDs and technical requirements that give engineering teams what they need to build confidently
• Own sprint ceremonies at the pod level, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and sprint reviews
• Drive delivery across multiple work streams simultaneously,…
