Across key products including BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sport, BBC Weather, bbc.co.uk and now BBC Sounds, we entertain, educate and inform audiences in their millions every day. But behind the scenes, however, we have work to do. We are making the shift from being a broadcaster that speaks to our audiences to being a service that is shaped by them and designed around their wants and needs. We are creating personalised products and services that bring the right content, to the right people, at the right times - a personalised BBC. It will be our greatest leap since iPlayer, and that's why it is right at the top of our agenda. Delivering it is going to require a fundamental reshaping of the BBC's culture and how we work. For the new Content Metadata workstream in our Content Production Workflows department, the first task is a ground-up rethink of our approaches to describing and classifying all of our content journalism, audio, video and digital alike. This means asking ourselves some big questions: What metadata do we need to deliver a personalised BBC? What does the future of tagging at the BBC look like? Importantly, as we increasingly move into subjective metadata, we also have to ask ourselves policy questions: what would it mean for us to say some programmes are "scary"? What is the difference between Fleabag and Mrs Brown's Boys, when the metadata tells us they are both "Sitcoms"? Working with the Editorial and Technical leads on Common Metadata, the Data Manager will help to answer these questions and ask more like them Are you the right candidate We focus on hiring for potential at the BBC, so the main requirement for the position is a strong technical mindset.Some of the things we love:Experience with Python and client-side JavaScript, HTML and CSS and their use in developing lightweight web-based data management applicationsFamiliarity with SQL and/or SPARQL database querying and relational data modelsFamiliarity with AWS cloud software management and deploymentExperience of modern software development practices, ideally in the field of data managementKnowledge of data modelling and appreciation of different data structures and their benefits and limitations under particular use cases DesirableComputer Science or related degree, or equivalent industry experienceExperience with Github for version controlFamiliarity with agile or other rapid application development methodsExperience of using Tableau client and serverExperience working with controlled vocabularies or ontologies/taxonomies, ideally applied to the media industry Excellent communication skills and passionate about metadata Main Responsibilities
