The Role

As a Lead Product Manager for Vyvx Broadcast Services, you will be the bridge between our customers and our business combining deep broadcast industry expertise with strategic product thinking to drive growth and customer success. This is not a traditional "build software features" PM role. Instead, you'll work directly with broadcasters, sports leagues, and production companies to design custom transmission solutions, support complex sales cycles, and ensure customers achieve mission-critical reliability for their live events.

You'll spend significant time interfacing with customers, joining sales calls, presenting technical solutions, negotiating contracts, conducting on-site consultations at key conferences, and serving as a trusted advisor to broadcast operations managers and leadership. You'll work directly with the world's leading media companies to deliver the video transmission infrastructure that powers live television.

Success in this role requires the ability to speak fluently with both business executives about ROI and commercial terms, and with broadcast engineers about emerging technologies in the broadcast industry.

Own product financial performance including revenue targets (MRR and usage), margin optimization, EBITDA contribution, and identify upsell / cross-sell opportunities within installed base

Support product development initiatives using product management best practices, ensuring alignment across business units on priorities, resource allocation, and strategic initiatives

Work with Sales and Marketing teams on go-to-market strategy, sales enablement materials (battle cards, case studies), training programs, and pipeline reviews

Create comprehensive business cases for new offerings and capital investments including market sizing, revenue projections, competitive analysis, and ROI justifications

Coordinate with Finance on P&L analysis, pricing approvals, revenue forecasting, and budget planning

Partner with Sales Engineers to architect custom solutions, lead technical presentations and RFP responses, translate customer requirements, and negotiate contract terms

Act as "Voice of the Customer" by conducting regular interviews, win / loss analysis, and feedback sessions to inform product strategy and competitive positioning

Collaborate with Vyvx Operations to optimize service delivery, understand customer issues, and discuss new technologies in industry.

Represent Vyvx at industry events (eg NAB, SVG, IBC), lead customer advisory boards, conduct win / loss analysis and discovery interviews to inform competitive positioning and product strategy
