  • 8–10 years of product management or product operations experience, including ownership of multiple products or major product areas with measurable business outcomes.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex initiatives end-to-end with minimal assistance across engineering, design, operations, and business stakeholders through influence rather than authority.
  • Experience constructing business cases, performing P&L and ROI evaluation, and managing direct product costs.
  • Strong written and verbal communication at the Manager and Director level, including executive-style writing, presentations, and storytelling.
  • Solid analytics fluency: identify relevant metrics, extract insights, and make actionable recommendations.

  • Define audience needs and use cases to guide feature development; act as a subject matter expert and customer advocate for current and future products.

  • Lead complex, cross-cutting initiatives across agent workflows, employee platforms, and contractor tooling end-to-end with minimal assistance.
  • Drive cross-functional team priorities, discovery, and ROI in partnership with business stakeholders, development, and design.
  • Partner with Engineering, UI/UX, and other product teams to deliver solutions; advocate for the products and product perspective in cross-functional projects and meetings.
  • Drive product operational readiness with GTM, CPTO, Marketing, Sales, and Field; support post-launch delivery against operational, customer experience, and financial commitments.
  • Serve as the Agile product owner and represent Product at Agile ceremonies; anticipate effort differences between options before commitments are made.
  • Effectively communicate product vision, principles, and roadmap to Manager- and Director-level stakeholders.
  • Translate business logic for technical stakeholders and product or technical capabilities for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Use storytelling to connect product strategy to business outcomes and create presentations that move decisions forward.
  • Disagree constructively, commit to decisions, and proactively solve cross-functional problems.
  • Identify opportunities and trends, including AI, LLM-based features, and automation, and apply them to agent assist, decision support, workflow automation, and internal productivity.
  • Distinguish problems where AI is appropriate from those where it is not, and apply rigor to evaluation, measurement, and rollout.
  • Maintain a developing technical understanding of Internal Tools platforms and how end-to-end technology solutions are designed and affect customer experience.
  • Develop clear product documentation, including requirements, design approach, and acceptance criteria.
  • Vet and refine requirements, proactively identify gaps in plans, and work with stakeholders to specify or mitigate them.
  • Inspect project assets across products and provide feedback that improves completeness and accuracy.
  • Proactively share knowledge to develop peers and adjacent teams.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with internal tools, agent desktops, contact center platforms, workforce platforms, or other employee-facing software.
  • Practical experience applying AI/ML, LLM-based features, or automation to real business workflows, with a clear-eyed view of where they work and where they do not.
  • Experience contributing to portfolio-level strategy and planning across multiple product areas.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; an MBA or relevant master's degree is a plus.
  • Telecom, broadband, video, or mobile industry exposure, particularly OSS/BSS, Care, Sales, or Field operations.
  • Familiarity with regulatory, policy, and operational constraints in large telecom environments.
  • Engineering background or technical depth in software development lifecycles.
  • Deep telecom experience is not required; strong tools/platform product-management instincts, financial rigor, and demonstrated execution across multiple products can compensate.

Major cuts at News 12.

Major cuts at News 12. July 16, 2026 Mark Sudol The New York Post and other outlets are reporting major cuts at News 12 in Connecticut, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Westchester. More than two dozen people have lost their jobs companywide; 11 were let go in Connecticut including long time anchors Mark Sudol and Becky Suran. Mark was also the dedicated moderator of the weekend interview program "Power and Politics." Becky Suran Insiders say Altice USA, the parent company of News 12, has decided to produce one regional newscast with short local cut-ins. Hyper-local newscasts will continue on Long Island and New Jersey, where the company says, the audience justifies the effort. Less than ten reporters and photographers will remain at News 12 Connecticut.

When the music stops, read the fine print.

When the music stops, read the fine print. March 23, 2026 Something is shifting in the markets. Inflation expectations hit 5.2% last week in the US, the highest since March 2023. Three weeks ago the bond market was pricing in rate cuts. Now the probability of a Fed rate hike by year end (24.6%) is more than three times the probability of a cut (7.5%). Fed fund futures have pushed the next expected cut all the way out to October 2027. That shift is showing up in US credit. Only 26% of leveraged loans sit above par, down from roughly 65% earlier this year. Software names make up just 1% of that number. And Morningstar put out a statistic last week that deserves more attention: over the past 12 months, 16 of 17 US private credit rating downgrades to default or selective default were distressed exchanges. Not formal filings. Not orderly processes. Negotiated outcomes where the documentation determined who got paid and who didn't. That's the picture in America, but if you think Europe is insulated, think again. As I wrote in the Financial Times last week, the European market has seen a sharp rise in liability management exercises over the past two years: Altice France, Altice International, Ardagh, Victoria, Selecta, Hunkemöller. Borrowers are now going further than just using covenant flexibility. Altice USA filed a lawsuit against a group of major creditors including Apollo, Ares, and BlackRock, arguing that their cooperation agreement amounts to an illegal cartel. If that argument succeeds in a US court, expect European issuers to bring the same playbook across the Atlantic. If that doesn't work, there's always the coop blocker to fall back on - it's not cleared in Europe yet, but if history is anything to go by, borrowers and sponsors won't stop trying. This is the pattern on both sides of the pond. Borrowers restructure through liability management exercises, exchange offers, and consent solicitations. If something doesn't work, the finance team will draft around it in the next deal. Every one of those transactions turns on what the credit agreement actually says: subordination mechanics, basket capacity, intercreditor provisions. Meanwhile, AI continues to threaten disription. According to the restructuring newsletter Petition, a tweet went viral last week claiming AI can now draft legal contracts better than $800/hour lawyers. The restructuring community's reply went for the jugular: "ok now do the Kirkland & Ellis Superpriority Credit Agreement and Exit Consent to Existing First Lien Credit Agreement." Like all jokes there is a kernel of truth there - a template NDA and a live covenant negotiation in a distressed deal are different universes. And right now, credit professionals on both sides of the Atlantic are embroiled in the latter. AI cannot read these risks for you. Some liability management exercises are more marathon than sprint. Take The LYCRA Company - it filed Chapter 11 last week after seven years of serial restructuring transactions stacked on top of each other: acquisition debt, mezzanine enforcement, an IP drop-down, a failed sale, a change of control trust, and a plan with tiered penny warrants and distribution waterfalls. EBITDA down 67% in two years. Talk about kicking the can. The people who can read these documents are making the calls. Everyone else is relying on someone else's summary. On either side of the Atlantic, that's no longer a shortcut you can afford.
