At CMG, PMs have the unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology and content. You'll be tackling challenges that directly impact how millions of people consume and interact with media. Our PMs need to balance technical knowledge with a deep understanding of content strategy and user behavior in the entertainment space.

While experience in media or entertainment tech is valuable, it's not a strict requirement. We value candidates who demonstrate strong product sense, data-driven decision-making, and the ability to learn quickly. Your experience in other industries can often bring fresh perspectives to our challenges.

Our PMs work on a diverse range of projects, from improving content recommendation algorithms to developing new interactive viewing experiences. You might be tasked with optimizing our ad delivery system, enhancing our live streaming capabilities, or creating new features for our mobile apps.

We offer numerous opportunities for growth, including mentorship programs, conference attendance, and internal training sessions. PMs are encouraged to rotate between different product areas to broaden their skills and impact. We also have a clear career progression path from APM to senior leadership roles.

Focus on showcasing your problem-solving skills and your ability to understand and advocate for user needs. Highlight any experience you have in managing cross-functional projects or driving data-informed decisions. Be prepared to discuss how your unique background can bring value to the PM role at CMG.
