We believe in better. And we make it happen. Better content. Better products. And better careers. Working in Tech, Product or Data at Sky is about building the next and the new. From broadband to broadcast, streaming to mobile, SkyQ to Sky Glass, we never stand still. We optimise and innovate. We turn big ideas into the products, content and services millions of people love. 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.
