About the Job:
We’re seeking an accomplished product leader with deep digital media expertise to help drive innovation in a fast-growing, dynamic organization. As Head of Product Management, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution of our digital products, leading a high-performing product team at the center of our innovation engine. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you will collaborate closely with engineering, editorial, data, design, marketing, and sales teams to craft exceptional user experiences. Your leadership will be instrumental in scaling our platforms, personalizing content, and advancing the use of modern technology in both news delivery and newsroom workflows.
We’re looking for a leader who can swiftly translate business priorities and audience needs into impactful product solutions. You will balance strategic thinking with operational excellence, guiding multiple projects on tight timelines while mentoring and developing a team of product managers. The ideal candidate is an outstanding communicator, able to clearly convey complex, abstract ideas to technical teams, creative partners, and senior stakeholders alike.
Responsibilities:
- Build the product strategy and roadmap across all digital touchpoints (web, app, backend platforms, editorial tools).
- Lead and grow a team of product managers—fostering a product culture focused on user value, rapid experimentation, and measurable impact.
- Partner with Engineering, Editorial, Data, and Design to deliver high-quality, innovative products on time and within scope.
- Embed modern product discovery practices including user research, prototyping, validation, and A/B testing.
- Leverage AI and machine learning to enhance product features such as personalization, content recommendations, tagging, and editorial tools.
- Define and monitor product KPIs to guide decision-making and ensure alignment with company objectives.
- Champion a customer-centric and data-informed approach to product development.
- Transform business requirements and engagement needs into high-functioning features and products.
- Lead multiple projects from conception to completion in accordance with deadlines.
- Collaborate with other team members and stakeholders.
- Bachelor’s degree in Product Management, Computer Science, Business Administration, Journalism, Media Studies, Design, or a related field required. Master’s degree (MBA or related discipline) is a plus but not required.
- 10+ years of experience in product management, digital media, or a related field, with a strong track record of building and scaling successful digital products. 5+ years in a senior product leadership role, managing product teams and driving cross-functional initiatives.
- Proven experience in media, publishing, or content platforms is highly desirable.
- Strong understanding of agile methodologies, product management frameworks, and DevOps environments.
- Experience working closely with engineering teams and technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to ship successful products, balancing long-term vision with short-term execution.
- Familiarity with AI/ML applications in media or content technology is a strong plus.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
