Director, Product Management

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox Corporation

Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead the product strategy for our Audience Engagement roadmap, in deep partnership with editorial and marketing stakeholders, across FOX News, FOX Business, OutKick and FOX Weather digital properties. This role requires someone who can combine editorial fluency with product expertise and is passionate about news (particularly politics and elections).

You'll be the bridge between editorial teams, business stakeholders, and engineering—someone who understands the urgency of news, the complexities of 24/7 coverage, and the technical realities of digital platforms. You’ll set priorities based on editorial and audience needs, ensuring we’re shipping features that serve our content creators as well as our readers and viewers. Success requires technical credibility (you can speak engineering's language), editorial fluency (you understand news operations), and political savvy (you can navigate multiple business units with competing priorities).
