The BBC Board's Remuneration Committee signed off a pay rise, unsurprisingly, for the new Chief Technology and Product Officer Storm Fagan at their meeting in February. The merger of Technology and Product into Media Tech, formally announced in March is meant to save money overall.
Last week, Will Farrell-Green stepped into Storm's old job, as Chief Product Officer. So presumably the savings are coming from lower down the food chain.
(En passant, we note that Will is a former professional triathlete, from New Zealand, via product roles in San Francisco for Pandora, Twitch and Amazon)
