And we do it all right here at Sky. Capability Owners are strategic owners for a defined segment of the playout supply chain. They own that segment end to end: identifying opportunities to evolve it, writing clear functional specifications and user stories, making the business case that quantifies financial impact, embedding with Content & Broadcast Platforms (CBP) squads during solution development, coordinating operational testing with Operations Analysts, governing handover of tech deliverables at the operational acceptance check and then owning in-life performance once live. In their domain - for example Input and Readiness, On-air Management or Monitoring and Resilience - Capability Owners make operations simpler, safer and more reliable by keeping standards clear, fallbacks easy to use and performance signals visible and acted on. They are accountable for surfacing and shaping automation and AI opportunities in their segment and for proposing small, safe trials that prove value and operational integrity before scale. They partner closely with Playout Operations to plan the rollout of new features and functionality, also coordinating with Origination Experience & Insight and Workforce Management so learning drives improvement and training and sign-off land on time. They keep documentation and reference material current and usable so designs hold up at real-time operational speed and outcomes are sustained once live.

Here's a taster: Sky Q, for the TV you love all in one place The magic of Sky Glass at an exclusive rate A generous pension package Private healthcare Discounted mobile and broadband A wide range of Sky VIP rewards and experiences Inclusion & how you'll work We are a Disability Confident Employer, and welcome and encourage applications from all candidates. We will look to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all, and will make reasonable adjustments to support you where appropriate. Please flag any adjustments you need to your recruiter as early as you can. We've embraced hybrid working and split our time between unique office spaces and the convenience of working from home. For this role we offer the hybrid working approach with 3 days a week onsite in Osterley campus. Your office space: Osterley: Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There's also plenty of bike shelters and showers. On campus, you'll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed and even get pampered at our beauty salon. We'd love to hear from you Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It's a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next. But better doesn't stop at what we do, it's how we do it, too. We embrace each other's differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet. If you believe in better, we'll back you all the way. Just so you know: if your application is successful, we'll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.
