About the role

We are seeking a Senior Principal Product Manager to lead strategy, vision, and execution for Content Discovery at Warner Bros. Discovery. This is a senior individual contributor leadership role with broad influence across product, engineering, data science, design, editorial, marketing, analytics, and executive stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the product strategy for Content Discovery, aligning long-term vision with company goals, user needs, and business priorities.
  • Own a multi-horizon roadmap spanning foundational platform investments, user experience improvements, and next-generation discovery capabilities.
  • Lead the evaluation and application of the latest frontier models to re-imagine how we understand content, understand user intent and taste, and generate more relevant, contextual, and adaptive discovery experiences.
  • Identify where frontier models can materially improve search, recommendations, personalization, ranking, merchandising, and emerging conversational or assistive discovery experiences.
  • Partner closely with engineering, data science, design, analytics, editorial, and marketing to translate strategy into product bets, execution plans, and successful launches.
  • Identify and quantify customer pain points and business opportunities through research, experimentation, market understanding, and data analysis.
  • Define product principles, success metrics, and experimentation frameworks to guide prioritization and measure impact.
  • Drive a user-centered approach to discovery, improving relevance, clarity, usability, and overall customer satisfaction across surfaces and devices.
  • Communicate product vision, priorities, tradeoffs, progress, and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, competitive shifts, and advances in AI and machine learning, and translate those signals into product direction and business advantage.
  • Raise the quality bar for product thinking, experimentation, and cross-functional decision-making across the broader discovery portfolio.

Requirements

The ideal candidate has deep experience leading product strategy for ML-driven consumer products at scale, particularly in content discovery, search, recommendations, personalization, ranking, or related domains. You have a strong track record of defining strategy in ambiguous spaces, aligning senior stakeholders, and translating complex technical capabilities into products that drive measurable customer and business impact.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years of product management experience, including significant experience in senior-level product leadership roles.
  • Deep expertise in content discovery, search, recommendations, personalization, ranking, or related ML-driven consumer systems.
  • Demonstrated success defining product strategy and leading complex, cross-functional initiatives that drive engagement, satisfaction, and business growth.
  • Strong understanding of experimentation, metric design, and data-informed product development.
  • Strong technical fluency, with the ability to engage credibly on model, data, system, and platform tradeoffs.
  • Experience bringing AI or machine learning capabilities into production consumer products, ideally at large scale.
  • Strong understanding of the latest generation of AI models and sound judgment about where they can transform product experiences versus where traditional approaches remain more effective.
  • Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead through complexity without direct authority.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science, engineering, data science, or a related field.
