A senior product manager for entertainment
A entertainment company with a product problem does not need more features. It needs someone deciding which features earn their place: Attention is the scarce resource: release windows are fixed, audiences move on fast, and rights clearance can stall a launch that marketing already announced.
The work is discovery first, roadmap second, build third. Release calendars, awards seasons and touring windows set hard dates that cannot move once announced. Skipping the first two is how products end up full of features nobody uses.
You get a single owner for product decisions: discovery, roadmap and launch for a streaming catalogue and the rest of the range, judged on usage and retention rather than output. Book a free discovery call to talk through the product call you are stuck on right now.
What this engagement covers for entertainment
- User discovery around a streaming catalogue — what users actually do, where they stall, and which problems recur, gathered before any roadmap is drawn.
- Roadmap for a fan membership — a sequenced plan the label or studio head can defend: what ships first, what waits, and what is explicitly not being built.
- Build-ready briefs for a live-event series — problem, audience, edge cases and success measures, so developers are not guessing at intent mid-sprint.
- Launch plan for a merchandise line — who hears about it, what changes for existing users, and how the first weeks are measured.
- Instrumentation for release planning and rights clearance — the events and cohorts that show whether users adopt, return and stay, instead of vanity totals.
- Iteration cycles for audience campaigns and touring logistics — learn from each release, kill what does not work, and double down on what users demonstrably value.
Built on your stack, not on top of it
Tooling is rarely the constraint — Distribution platforms, rights management databases, audience analytics and ticketing systems. already cover the mechanics. What is missing is the product discipline around them: discovery, prioritisation, and honest measurement.
This engagement works with the team that builds and sells the product, not around them. The release manager and the tour manager stay close to discovery, because a roadmap nobody believes in is never followed.
Start with one decision, not a reorganisation. The roadmap for a fan membership works well as a first test: fewer features, clearer reasons, and a launch measured on usage rather than applause.
From kickoff to delivery for entertainment
- Discovery
Users, support themes and usage patterns for a streaming catalogue: what people actually struggle with, and which problems recur often enough to be worth solving.
- Roadmap and prioritisation
Themes ordered by evidence, with trade-offs stated openly. The label or studio head can see what is being deferred and why, instead of discovering it later.
- Build with the team
Briefs the team can build from: problem, audience, acceptance criteria and success measures for a live-event series, reviewed as work progresses rather than at the end.
- Launch and learn
Launch measured against its own success criteria — adoption, retention, support load — with weak features cut and strong ones extended in the next cycle.
Why hire Omer
- Decisions with evidence — roadmaps argued from user evidence, not from who shouted last.
- Fewer, better releases — a shorter backlog shipped well beats a long list shipped thin.
- Discovery before build — the problem is understood before a single sprint is committed.
- Honest measurement — launches judged on usage and retention, not on launch-day noise.
- Roadmap the team owns — documented direction that survives beyond the engagement.
What changes in practice
Releases that land on the announced date with rights cleared, audiences reached and merchandise ready, instead of a launch patched together at the last minute. On the product side, that shows up as a tighter range: a streaming catalogue and a fan membership each with a clear audience and a reason to exist, and releases that users actually adopt.
What lasts is the discipline: discovery as a habit, roadmaps with reasons, and launches measured on behaviour. Browse all hire engagements or discuss your product directly.
