• Translate the agreed strategy into a product roadmap and lead its delivery with engineering, from discovery through to launch, selecting the right delivery mechanism (APIs, agent connectors, etc) for each use case
• Lead customer discovery and controlled pilots to validate machine-to-to machine use cases and value exchange, turning what we learn into requirements and business cases
• Work with legal, commercial, product and technology colleagues to shape the entitlement model and access tiers for machine use, covering entitlement, identity, metering, versioning and the ability to revoke access
• Contribute to how machine usage and the value it creates are measured and reported, reflecting full text value for customers
• Keep a current view of the competitive and substitution landscape across open infrastructure, publisher gateways, aggregators and AI platforms, and bring that insight into product and strategy decisions Proven digital product management competencies, operating at high standards, especially excelling at assessing difficult trade-offs and setting clear priorities for the product roadmap to deliver maximum value

• Experience owning API, data or developer-facing products, and a track record of shipping them successfully with engineering teams
• Comfortable working with architects and engineers on data formats, content structure and delivery mechanisms, and able to translate between technical and commercial audiences
• Experience contributing to commercial models such as licensing, entitlement, packaging or pricing is an advantage

• Proven ability to influence and align stakeholders across functions without direct authority
