Our identity and mission:

Work Mode : In Office

Location : Bangalore (Bannerghatta Road)

Job Profile:

Amagi’s next wave of growth demands a transformation leader who can translate board-level ambition into an executable, value-accretive roadmap. You will stand up and run a “Program Office” for cross-functional programs—such as our Managed Services unification initiative that integrates Contribution, Operations and Distribution workflows across broadcast and streaming supply-chains—while remaining equally comfortable orchestrating entirely new ventures of similar scope and complexity.

The mandate spans hypothesis-driven strategy development, business-case modelling, change management, and full-cycle program delivery—mirroring the tool-kit of a top-tier management consultant, executed inside a high-velocity media-tech scale-up.

Key Responsibilities:

1.Enterprise-Level Program Governance:

• Architect PMO cadence (steering, risk burndown, benefits tracking) that drives ≥ 90 % on‑time milestone delivery.
• Deploy MECE work‑breakdown structures and OKR/RACI frameworks to align >10 work‑streams simultaneously.

2.Strategy & Business-Case Leadership:

• Frame strategic options (build / buy / partner / acquire) for initiatives such as global NOC expansion, AI‑based automation, and M&A tuck‑ins; craft C‑suite narratives and financial projections.
• Run diligence sprints with Product and Finance to validate investment thesis and shepherd approvals.

3.Executive Communication:

• Own board‑ready artefacts: storyline decks, KPI heat‑maps, one‑page exec briefs.
• Serve as the single voice liaising with ELT, investors and external partners.

4.Cross-Functional Orchestration:

• Lead virtual squads across engineering, operations, marketing and revenue to operationalise cloud‑native workflows that bridge linear broadcast rigour with OTT speed and scale.
• Instil consulting‑style problem‑solving culture within a globally distributed team.

5.Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement:

• Define leading indicators (cycle‑time, automation %) and lagging impact metrics (uptime, EBITDA uplift); drive Kaizen retros and embed insights into future releases.

6.Change Management & Capability Build-out:

• Design stakeholder maps, communication plans and training roadmaps that enable change adoption internally and externally.

Qualifications & Skills Required:

• 6-10 years total experience, with 4‑6 years at a top‑tier management consultancy (MBB, Big‑4 Strategy, boutique TMT) or internal transformation office.
• End‑to‑end leadership of multi‑million‑dollar, multi‑region programs within media & entertainment, broadcast technology or adjacent cloud/SaaS domains—ideally covering ingest, playout, FAST, or distribution chains.
• Exceptional written & spoken English; able to pivot seamlessly between C‑suite briefings and detailed working sessions.
• Advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) preferred.
