ABOUT US

STV brings Scotland the best of TV, video streaming and radio. We deliver Scotland’s most-watched daily news programme, a national commercial radio station, and STV Player, one of the UK’s fastest growing broadcast streaming services with thousands of hours of international and homegrown drama, sport and soaps.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As Product Manager for Web, you’ll set the direction for the STV Player website (STV.TV), the first experience many viewers have with STV. You’ll own the roadmap, prioritise delivery and impact and make sure the audience is represented in every decision. The web platform is fast and flexible; you’ll use that to ship improvements, test ideas and move the metrics that matter.

You’ll work with an Engineering Manager, a UX designer, QA and a talented development team, plus close partners across Editorial, Data/Insights, Marketing, Ad Ops and the other Product team members, to deliver compelling, high-impact experiences at pace. Delivering for Scotland—and across the UK.

• Keep standards high across accessibility, privacy and compliance, while pushing for better, simpler experiences.
• Manage the Stakeholders across Editorial, Engineering, UX, Data, Ad Ops, Marketing and Compliance with clear goals and comms.
