Your role

Have a passion for the digital space? Are you a seasoned product manager who has experience with data collection and/or internal management platforms and is comfortable in technical environments? If so, this opportunity with Digital Media is for you.

You’ll join the Digital Media team where a major initiative is underway to modernize Radio-Canada’s digital ecosystem and make it more resilient in an evolving media environment.

You’ll work within an agile team. You may also act as an integrator, focused on growing market share through engagement, retention or revenue-related product activities. You’ll collaborate with other product teams and product managers to help achieve your objectives.

Your goal as Product Manager, Data Collection, will be to consolidate most data collection services into a server-side product offering to streamline and simplify the process, ensuring the resilience and scalability of data collection services made available to product teams across our various destinations.

• Ability to explain requirements in a way that makes them understandable to team members.
• Experience with continuous improvement and test-driven development to improve the product delivery process.
• Experience writing clear agendas and facilitating meetings that drive toward consensus, decision-making and, most importantly, following up on action items.
