Overview 

As the Technical Program Manager for CNN’s Connected TV Engagement team, you’ll lead execution of the CTV roadmap - translating product goals into certified, high-quality experiences on every device and growing engagement on the platform. Day to day, you’ll work with CTV engineers (BrightScript, TypeScript/JS, Swift) and Backend, Product Managers and Designers, platform partner and certification contacts (Roku, Amazon, Apple, Samsung, Comcast), and Mission leadership. 

What you’ll do 

  • Own end-to-end delivery planning for CNN's CTV roadmap - from intake through certified release - across every major platform (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung, Android TV, Comcast, and others) 

  • Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering leads to align timelines, scope, and expectations across teams and platform partners 

  • Identify dependencies across Platform, Backend, Editorial, and partner platform teams, acting as the requester and coordinator for platform and certification needs 

  • Surface delivery and certification risks early with clear mitigation paths - keeping delivery predictable with no material late surprises 

  • Coordinate shared codebase development for common features (TypeScript/JS, BrightScript, Swift) 

  • Partner with engineering on performance tuning across low-powered CTV devices 

  • Track and report on engagement KPIs for CTV experiences 

  • Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and certification timelines to stakeholders 

  • Ship releases on time that clear platform certification with minimal resubmission, delivering a consistent CNN experience across every platform 

What we’re looking for 

Extent of skillset may vary based on level and area. 

  • Genuine curiosity about how things work and pride of workmanship - someone who enjoys tinkering and building outside of work 

  • Customer focused, with a strong problem-solving mindset - able to reduce ambiguous problems into manageable chunks and find creative technical approaches to delivery 

  • Proven ability to own roadmaps, manage dependencies, and drive cross-functional execution, with skilled release planning, risk management, and status reporting up and down the org 

  • Strong understanding of system architecture, APIs, and integrations - able to discuss technical design with engineers and identify technical and non-technical risks early 

  • Working familiarity with CTV platform ecosystems and languages (TypeScript/JS, BrightScript, Swift), plus data flows, content pipelines, and media formats (video, audio, metadata) 

  • Clear communicator who can translate user needs into technical requirements and vice versa, making tradeoffs explicit (time, scope, quality) to secure stakeholder buy-in 

  • Uses quantitative metrics (usage, latency, uptime, KPIs) and qualitative feedback to inform decisions 

  • Influences without authority - strong facilitation skills to align editorial, product, design, and engineering stakeholders across departments 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience navigating store submission and certification cycles is a strong plus 

  • High adaptability in fast-paced, shifting news cycles 

  • Comfortable reading/writing basic queries and building or interpreting dashboards, analytics, and reporting to track program health
