Below is other important information about the project and how to sell it to the candidate.
Project Overview: Teams are split up by domain: Subscription, content, various business verticals, they would be running one or more of these teams: How is each team set up?
* Data organization is split up by business verticals and platforms (platforms teams are more technical)
* Acquisition, ads, product & tech, subscriptions (business verticals)
* Share a data lake; data warehouse consolidation hasn’t happened
* Vertical engineering team success is delivery of accurate and timely reports (they own certain dashboards and data feeds; success is ensuring the data is timely and accurate)
o This helps make sure the dashboards are built correctly
o Launching new data feeds; ESPN+ now on Hulu which requires them to add new features and data columns
What is the business challenge they’re trying to solve:
* Challenge they have right now is engineering teams are being formed right now to solve problems tied to data
* Product team is defining the problem
* The TPM’s are planning well right now and aren’t able to create visibility to the leadership team
* They want to know how certain bundles are doing but don’t have data pipeline set up to get information to business team
* It’s a personnel bandwidth issue; Disney+ didn’t have TPM’s so there was no structure on how data was being processed
What’s the impact to the end user:
* Help make decisions around investments
* Where to spend money on marketing
* Smarter personalization on content
* Targeted ads; Product strategy
* Content Acquisition
Employee Value Proposition:
