About the role
Our client is an international media company, and they are looking for a Senior Product Manager fluent in English and Arabic for their Digital Division.
You will define, execute, and deliver one of our client's digital product lines. You will gather requirements from editorial stakeholders, vet them against competitors and market trends, create the roadmap and user stories for your product line, and own the backlog in the client's Agile delivery process.
This role is inherently cross-functional as you’ll be leading a product development team that does not report directly to you. This means you must be ready to lead by example and win the trust of your colleagues. To be a successful candidate for this role, you are a proven product manager with experience working on customer facing products and agile delivery expert, able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, able to work extremely effectively in a matrix organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies and capabilities into high-performance, simple, and secure experiences that our client’s audience will love.
