In this innovative, tech-savvy and collaborative role, you will translate complex regional legal, privacy and consumer protection requirements into scalable, customer-centric product solutions that keep Disney at the forefront of flexible, efficient and technologically advanced storytelling experiences.

What You Will Do 

As a skilled and experienced product lead, you will own the regional approach to product legal and privacy compliance, pricing and consumer protection, and customer messaging and marketing consent for EMEA, partnering closely with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, Product, Marketing, CRM and local markets. This role matters because it ensures Disney’s subscription experiences remain compliant, trusted and engaging, requiring a strong problem-solver, team player and mentor who can explain difficult concepts and influence others to adopt new ways of working.

• Serve as the primary collaborator between Legal, Privacy and Compliance to determine how new legal and regulatory rules are implemented in product, ensuring solutions balance compliance and business needs and are clearly documented for global product teams.
• Lead the planning, prioritization and delivery of legal, regulatory and privacy-driven changes across the Disney+ platform in EMEA, ensuring customer journeys, communications and documentation are localized, tested and delivered on time.
• Maintain a clear view of compliance requirements and market nuances across EMEA, reflecting local differences in product experiences, roadmaps and launch plans while aligning with global strategies.
• Translate complex legal, privacy and consumer protection requirements into simple, customer-friendly experiences and guidance for Product, Marketing, CRM and other cross-functional teams, acting as a trusted subject matter expert and problem-solver.
• Anticipate regulatory change (e.g., GDPR and related frameworks) and drive cross-functional readiness, surfacing implications early, aligning stakeholders and minimizing delivery risk for new or updated features.
• Own compliance requirements for pricing and consumer protection, including consent prompts, notice periods, renewal cycles and offer messaging, ensuring accuracy and clarity for each market and highlighting risks or exposure where needed.
• Lead the EMEA roadmap for customer messaging and marketing consent, identifying new channels and consent opportunities, and testing initiatives that improve consent capture, customer reach and channel adoption while respecting local privacy rules.
• Define and optimize customer journeys for mobile number capture and usage across verification, transactional and marketing communications, ensuring clear consent flows and consistent experiences.
• Scope and support the rollout of wider proposition and product initiatives such as add-ons, bundles and on-platform engagement features, partnering with customer engagement teams to drive early-life engagement and habit-building behaviors.
• Act as a lead and mentor for other individual contributors, providing coaching, sharing best practices and guiding cross-functional teams through complex, multi-territory initiatives while upholding Disney values and a collaborative culture.

Required Qualifications & Skills  

• Proven experience within a digital business such as subscription, retail or trading, with a strong trading mindset and track record of optimizing core retention KPIs.
• 7+ years of product-focused experience in technology-led or digital media environments, acting as a subject matter expert and lead across cross-functional initiatives.
• Deep understanding of SVOD or consumer subscription platforms, including the unique challenges of subscription lifecycle management, customer engagement and churn mitigation.
• Strong knowledge of privacy, consent and regulatory compliance concepts (e.g., GDPR and related frameworks) and how they impact digital products, customer journeys and messaging experiences.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable product requirements, customer experiences and implementation plans for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in cross-functional, multi-territory or matrixed organizations, building strong partnerships with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, Engineering, Marketing and local market teams.
• Analytical mindset with demonstrable problem-solving skills, including the ability to balance competing priorities and use data to inform decisions and trade-offs.
• Excellent communication, presentation and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to explain difficult concepts and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view.
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, championing change and driving results while acting as a collaborative team player and mentor.
• Bachelor's Degree or higher in a relevant field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with consent and privacy management solutions, or tools supporting privacy, governance and compliance in digital or media environments.
• Background in media, streaming or Ad Tech environments, particularly where privacy, compliance and customer engagement intersect.
