Experiences

 I've struggled with the growth of 'product' jobs at the BBC; in my youth it derived from the Latin, 'something produced', and was lightly abused by maths teachers, who used it as a synonym for 'the answer' in sums. 

As jobs making 'news' and 'content' are cut, the BBC now seeks a new Tweedledum and Tweedledee in 'Product'; a Director, Product Management - Platform and a Director, Product Management of Experiences. 

For job one "We need an established senior, enterprise product leader experienced in delivering transformational product strategies. They will be responsible for accelerating our transition to a platform-first product organisation, unlocking our teams’ potential to discover, innovate and deliver at scale best-in-class platform capabilities. "

For job two "We need an established senior, enterprise product leader experienced in delivering transformational product strategies. They will be responsible for driving user growth through BBC digital products, unlocking our teams’ potential to discover, innovate and bring to market best in class user-centred digital experiences." 

Clear ? Maybe the Board-level enterprise product leader, Chief Product Officer, Storm Fagan and Director of Product and Design, Monica Turska, can explain...

Some might say that the BBC is not a TV and radio company but a specialist in re-orgs.

But we're just mice so we can't comment.
