Lead Product Manager

Gracenote, a Nielsen company, is dedicated to connecting audiences to the entertainment they love, powering a better media future for all people. We are the content data business unit of Nielsen that powers innovative entertainment experiences for the world’s leading media companies. Our entertainment metadata and connected IDs deliver advanced content navigation and discovery to connect consumers to the content they love and discover new ones. Gracenote's Data Platform is the central hub for millions of pieces of TV entertainment data used daily by clients and partners worldwide. It provides the critical services that structure and model data for our editorial, ingest, and delivery systems. This data powers entertainment solutions for the top cable, OTT, CE, and digital clients, reaching hundreds of millions of consumers. We are hiring a lead product manager to own this platform from our Bengaluru engineering center. This role has a deliberate arc. Initially, this is a hands-on role. You will write specs and requirements yourself, work directly with engineers and data architects, analyze data with your own queries, and build deep fluency in the platform. We are looking for someone senior who still genuinely enjoys this work. As the platform and your fluency mature, the role expands into a player-coach position, which will build and mentor a product team in India while remaining close to the platform. Candidates should be excited by both halves of this trajectory, not just the second one. You will be the lead product presence co-located with our engineering organization, partnering across time zones with Dataset and Delivery Product Managers and commercial stakeholders based in the US and Europe. This is not a satellite role. It is that the product anchor for our engineering center. An ideal candidate will have 8+ years of Product Management experience and a proven track record of end-to-end ownership and delivering results. Responsibilities Own the product vision,
