Head of Technology & Digital ProductAbout the Role
The Technology & Digital Product Manager is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for the architecture, front-end development, live platform operations, and continuous technical evolution of ANTENNA Group's digital products.
This role sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering, product delivery, and team leadership. Operating above our developing team resources, you will provide day-to-day guidance, technical direction, and code quality oversight—specifically for our in-house front-end environment—while collaborating with our backend CMS vendor and cloud platform.
You will bridge the gap between technical operations, newsroom editorial, commercial, creative, and external vendors, ensuring high-traffic live site reliability (especially during high-stakes news broadcasts and evening sports events) while delivering innovative, commercial, and user-facing digital features.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable troubleshooting a critical platform issue, evaluating a third-party technology, designing the technical approach for a new digital feature and working with Product teams to bring a new idea into production.
Job Description Digital Product Implementation & Development
- Work closely with the Product Manager to translate product requirements into technical specifications, implementation plans and production-ready solutions.
- Lead or coordinate the technical implementation of new digital products, features and services across ANTENNA’s digital properties.
- Support the implementation of products and features such as newsletters, registration and login systems, commenting platforms, web push notifications, personalization, recommendation engines, gamification mechanics, live scores and other interactive services.
- Design the technical approach for new features, identifying required APIs, integrations, CMS capabilities, data flows and third-party services.
- Assess whether solutions should be developed internally, implemented through existing platform capabilities or delivered through external technology providers.
- Manage technical testing, QA, deployment and post-launch monitoring of new products and features.
- Identify dependencies, technical risks and scalability requirements early in the product development process.
