EDS Product Management Director
People & Places, Technology June 26th, 2005
I know it freaks my boss out that I look at job postings all the time, (Hi Chuck!) but you learn a lot of things about an organization by who, when and what they’re hiring. (Besides, I was looking for St. Louis positions for you, Mom.) Because you usually hire people for new projects, you can get an idea on where the companies are going by their future workforce. Sometimes, those plans are not-announced anywhere else, but pretty plainly disclosed in the job ad.
For example, Netflix is looking for a new Product Management Director, with the following blurb:
The Electronic Delivery Service (EDS) will augment Netflix’s current DVD delivery model with high quality movies delivered to consumers’ home TVs through the Internet, on a subscription basis.
Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, the EDS Product Management Director will manage the development and shipment of the first generation EDS product, and will set the strategy and direction for future electronic products and services. The scope of responsibilities is broad and involves coordination of internal design and development teams, outside vendors, manufacturers, and partners all with an eye towards building a simple focused product to deliver an exceptional consumer experience.
Interesting!
