Product Manager IA/ML

About

The TF1 Group aims to develop the leading free streaming platform for family entertainment and information for French speakers. This ambition involves a profound transformation: moving from a catch-up service to a true destination platform, modern, personalized, and monetized through advertising, subscriptions, and TVOD. TF1+ is already establishing itself as a major player with over 35 million monthly streamers and over 1 billion hours watched per year.

This ambition also positions us as a fundamentally technological company, particularly through our division within three business units: BtoC, Technologies, and Datech, whose roles support the Group's strategic transformations.

Datech, responsible for data and adtech, is positioned as a center of expertise, services, and value development for the advertising sales house, the "consumers" division (TF1+/TF1 Info), and other Corporate functions. By consolidating data activities (governance, design authority, platformization...), AI (data science, generative AI, Agentic, ...), Datech is a key driver of the Group's acceleration and transformation.

In this context, we are looking for a Product Manager AI/ML on a permanent contract (CDI) to join the Data & Adtech Division.
