Team Lead Media Platform

Project overview

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN EXTERNAL CONSULTANT CURRENTLY HOLDS THE POSITION.

We are looking for a team lead to manage a product team of approximately 16 employees in the Production Flow product area within the Technology Department at NRK. We are in the midst of a major transformation in the division, and this product area is piloting this effort until January 31st.

The product area consists of product managers, team leads, broadcast technologists, developers, and designers. The product area works with the operation, design, implementation, and further development of broadcast technology infrastructure, which enables content production and publishing.

NRK's production platform is undergoing a major change, with a gradual transition from broadcast-specific niche technology to IP solutions, virtualization of infrastructure, and the use of private cloud in NRK's own data centers. An IP-based platform allows for more flexible production, new workflows, more production in the field, and easier collaboration between NRK's offices across the country. It also makes it easier to introduce new formats and changed workflows. Technological renewal ensures that NRK can renew itself in line with audience needs and continue to be a world-class content producer and publisher.
