WORK HISTORY
Project Manager @NBCUniversal
London, GB
I currently work within International Media Operations at NBCUniversal, leading cross‑functional, product‑led delivery across the media lifecycle. My role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations, where I help turn business needs into scalable, operationally sound solutions.I’m responsible for delivering a range of internal systems and platform enhancements that support content planning, media workflows, and international distribution. This includes leading initiatives such as internal booking tools, media metadata and image update functionality, advanced planning features, and title segmentation and delivery workflows. All aimed at improving efficiency, flexibility, and day‑to‑day operational experience.Much of my work involves coordinating delivery across multiple development teams and time zones, managing dependencies, unblocking issues, and ensuring releases are ready for operational adoption. I take ownership of delivery governance, stakeholder communication, and change management, while keeping a calm, collaborative approach even in complex or fast‑moving environments.What I enjoy most about the role is working closely with teams across NBCUniversal to deliver practical, well‑designed solutions that genuinely make media operations easier and more effective, and doing that in a way that builds trust, momentum, and long‑term value.

ABOUT HANNAH LEIGH
Senior Project Manager passionate about delivering meaningful media and digital solutions on time, on budget, and with real operational impact.With 10+ years’ experience, I’ve led complex delivery across media operations, broadcast platforms, internal systems, SaaS, infrastructure, and digital transformation. I currently work at NBCUniversal, delivering product‑led initiatives within International Media Operations, focused on media lifecycle workflows, platform enhancements, and cross‑team engineering delivery.I work closely with product, engineering, and operational teams to translate business requirements into scalable, adoptable solutions. My work spans internal systems, workflow optimisation, and complex releases delivered across multiple development teams and time zones. Whether improving media operations tooling, coordinating dependencies, or unblocking delivery across shared services, I bring a calm, collaborative, and structured approach that adapts to each team, challenge, and goal.Previously at Red Bee Media, I specialised in delivery across live and on‑demand media, broadcast platforms, and workflow transformation, including a £1.2m playout infrastructure refresh, broadcaster onboarding to multi‑tenant platforms, and Azure/SSO integrations. I thrive where delivery meets complexity, collaboration, and operational change.What I bring to the table - Delivery leadership across media operations, broadcast platforms, and internal systems- Cross‑functional project delivery across product, engineering, and operations- Workflow transformation, systems integration, and change adoption- Agile & Waterfall delivery (PRINCE2 & PRINCE2 Agile certified)- Governance, dependency management, and budget ownership- Calm, clear communication across all levels in international environmentsAnd a bit about me I mix commercial discipline with creative energy. Whether I’m leading a delivery programme or sculpting in my spare time, I bring curiosity, structure, and a people‑first mindset to what I do.Outside of work you’ll usually find me paddle boarding, sketching in galleries, dancing with friends and family, or hiking somewhere green. And most importantly, I’m mum to wild twin 3‑year‑old boys, which has given me a whole new level of expertise in prioritisation, negotiation, and resilience.Always open to connecting with people working across media operations, broadcast, and platform delivery, or anyone passionate about making complex projects actually work.
