Overview of role
As part of the Product team, you will play a central role in the business. You will be client focused and require good communication, organisation and time management skills to manage both your clients and internal workflow, while always focusing on quality.

You must have a strong sense of client centricity, ensuring we are solving problems and delivering maximum value for our clients.

You will need to balance the needs of existing customers and client requests, with innovation for growth.

You will be responsible for defining the ‘why’ of the product to be built, being clear about the user needs to be solved and benefits to be gained.

You will start your time at Peach as Product Owner for CARIA and Attribution. CARIA is the platform used by media buyers to book TV campaigns with leading UK and Irish broadcasters and by creative and production companies to confirm what ads run in the campaigns. It simplifies and automates workflows for broadcasters. It handles £4 billion of booking value per annum.
The product challenge is to deliver more value for our clients and the business by extending CARIA beyond its linear TV heritage to CTV and VOD.

Attribution, operated under licence from Clearcast, provides vital master data to the industry and enables consolidated reporting for TV across linear and VOD.

We’ve recently extended further into BVOD and Addressable, with digital advertising workflows and ecosystem connectivity a key area of focus with this role.

You will report to the VP, Product. As we have teams in other locations and offices present in other markets that we serve, some travel may be required.
