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.

What you'll do

  • Evolve key aspects of Sky News digital products: an opportunity to make your mark on the service that’s used and loved by millions.

  • Own roadmap priorities of a substantial product area.

  • Run end-to-end product discovery with little or no guidance.

  • Work closely with the technical teams, including teams in Comcast India Engineering Centre in Chennai and own the requirements.

  • Make things happen through collaboration with Design and Technology, as well as Editorial and Commercial teams.

  • Be integral part of the user feedback loop. Critically review insight and data available, and drive sound product decisions.

  • Have line management responsibility for a Product Lead

You will be

  • User-driven: never lose sight of who we are doing this for

  • Comfortable dealing with ambiguity

  • Adaptable. Tech and business priorities change, and it’s not always immediately clear where things will end.

  • Willing to get your hands dirty.

  • Delivery focused, pragmatic, tenacious.

  • Able to zoom in and out with ease. Know how to write a JIRA ticket, as well as defend our product strategy when challenged.

  • An independent thinker (who knows when to ‘disagree and commit’)

  • Excited by new technologies, and the potential they bring in the news space

  • Somebody who plays nice. A lot of this job involves collaborating with other humans, so emotional literacy is a must.

  • Ideally, experienced in working with mobile apps

Product Delivery

Want to deliver brilliant products and unmissable entertainment that grips millions of households? Our 1000 strong, Product Delivery team does everything from developing innovative AI technology to creating the best HDR viewing experience for TV products.

Where you'll work:

Osterley:

Our Osterley Campus is a 10-minute walk from Syon Lane train station. Or you can hop on one of our free shuttle buses that run to and from Osterley, Gunnersbury, Ealing Broadway and South Ealing tube stations. There’s also plenty of bike shelters and showers. On campus, you’ll find 13 subsidised restaurants, cafes, and a Waitrose. You can keep in shape at our subsidised gym, catch the latest shows and movies at our cinema, get your car washed and even get pampered at our beauty salon. 

OR

Leeds:
Our spacious tech hub is less than a mile from Leeds train station. There’s plenty of parking in the surrounding streets and at the nearby CitiPark.
Need a break? You can blow off steam over a game of pool or table tennis, and stay fit at our subsidised gym.

We’d love to hear from you Inventive, forward-thinking minds come together to work in Tech, Product and Data at Sky. It’s a place where you can explore what if, how far, and what next.
But better doesn’t stop at what we do, it’s how we do it, too. We embrace each other’s differences. We support our community and contribute to a sustainable future for our business and the planet.


If you believe in better, we’ll back you all the way.
Just so you know: if your application is successful, we’ll ask you to complete a criminal record check. And depending on the role you have applied for and the nature of any convictions you may have, we might have to withdraw the offer.
