tv.google & android.com — launch operations at scale

Director-rated Program Management Localization & Deployment New York / Remote

This is the closest analog in Warren's catalog to operating a Prime Video surface. He managed updates for tv.google (Google TV) — a TV and streaming surface — alongside android.com (including the Android 12 launch) and wearos.google.com: a slate of marketing launches that go public on fixed, time-sensitive dates, across many surfaces, in many languages, with senior stakeholders watching. Warren ran it from inside an embedded pod at Huge, plugged directly into Google's marketing org.

He led design & dev roadmap planning and oversaw creative, content, site deployment, and localization across all three properties — with the Google TV surface and the Android 12 launch both landing on non-negotiable dates. He continuously adjusted priorities, plans, and resources to hit those dates. The mandate was simple and unforgiving: hit the dates without burning the team out.

The engagement actually ran on two fronts: this web-properties program, and a parallel year-long "Future of Google Search Ads" research & design program (its own title below). He maintained strong working relationships with Google's product marketing managers, strategists, and designers — translating engineering detail into business goals and back again. That is the operational shape of the Sports Ops role: a signed scope, a fixed air date, a cross-functional pod, localization and deployment pipelines, and executives who need calm, accurate readouts. The framing is Prime Video; the work is real.

The series

Episodes — the deal → broadcast playbook

The repeatable sequence Warren runs to move a signed deal to a first broadcast on a fixed date. Each step is anchored to a real program he has already shipped — no theory, just the operating system.

1
Deal intake & scope lock
Turn a signed deal into a bounded, owned scope with a fixed date. On APS, Warren ran a 3-month UX research & strategy phase before the 8-month design phase — locking the IA and design-system scope with the client before a pixel moved.
Runtime · Week 1
2
Cross-functional kickoff & single source of truth
Get product, engineering, content, and execs rowing together from one canonical plan. At Dow Jones, Warren manages design updates across 10+ event & conference websites (JournalHouse, WSJ Leadership Institute) and leads a design system unifying their builds into one (6 of 8 core properties migrated) — one source of truth that cut build time ~80% and killed cross-property inconsistency across WSJ, Barron's, and MarketWatch.
Runtime · Weeks 1–2
3
Metadata / partner & publishing workflow
Stand up the pipeline that moves assets to air at quality and volume. On android.com, that meant localization and deployment workflows spanning many languages; on The Row, driving a partner (Monaverse) through the publishing and implementation pipeline for one-of-a-kind 3D assets.
Runtime · Weeks 2–4
4
Review gates & risk burndown
Catch drift before it multiplies. On APS, Warren structured the review cadence across the research and design phases — workshops, deep dives, research readouts — to align early and bring skeptical energy-utility execs into the process, with the Infosys and 28+ engineers aligned to the same gates ahead of production.
Runtime · Ongoing
5
Dress rehearsal / platform testing
Prove it works under real conditions before it goes live. On The Row, Warren owned the Monaverse vendor relationship through implementation and platform testing, validating one-of-a-kind 3D landmarks on a live metaverse platform ahead of a single launch.
Runtime · Pre-launch
6
First broadcast & post-mortem
Ship on the date, then harvest the learnings into the next launch. The Android 12 launch went public on a fixed date; at Dow Jones, Warren has run 5 event launches in the past 5 months — each go-live feeding the next through the unified design system, the durable version of that post-mortem instinct.

The complete JD → proof map.

Just as X-Ray on a Prime Video broadcast surfaces the story behind the play, here every line of the job description is mapped to a real program Warren has shipped. Phrased honestly: he has done the operational shape of this role — contract-to-launch, cross-functional, on a fixed date — not live sports itself. The confidence is in the transfer, stated plainly.

Original · Industry POV

Reading where entertainment is heading — not just shipping today's slate.

Prime Video's mandate is to define the next generation of how customers watch. That is exactly why Warren built PROPEL — a co-creation network for the emerging AI-film industry, where creators team up under NDA-first protection from the first message and an immutable ContribLog records who made what. It exists because he watched a new class of entertainment form and saw the trust-and-attribution layer no one had built yet.

For a live-events and content operator, that is the tell: he doesn't just move today's assets through a publishing workflow — he reads where the medium is heading and gets in front of it. That instinct is what helps invent the next format instead of only shipping the current one.

AI film is going festival-grade. Runway's AIFF and Project Odyssey are minting a real creator class — entertainment-quality work on a brand-new supply chain.
The tooling churns fast. Model and API sunsets keep forcing creators to rebuild pipelines — operators who can absorb that change win.
The missing layer is trust. No standard way to co-create and split credit — the exact gap PROPEL's NDA-first collaboration and ContribLog attribution close.
