Product Manager, Subscriber Experience

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

Mission Overview & Responsibilities :

The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. This mission is rooted in our belief that great journalism has the power to make each reader's life richer and more fulfilling, and all of society stronger and more just.

Our Subscriber Experiences group supports that mission by building products that amplify the reach and impact of that journalism. We've made subscriptions the core of our business, and we believe that a more tailored product experience will lead more users to engage with our journalism, to want to come back again and form a regular routine with The Times, and become subscribers.

We're looking for a product manager to help us take this work to the next level, working across a range of projects on the web and in the New Times news app. You'll work on user facing initiatives that educate users about all the Times has to offer, motivating them along their journey from a non-paying registered user to a deeply engaged subscriber. Projects will center around helping users get the most out of their experience, such as illuminating what's free for them to sample as a registered user, helping them tailor their experience to their interests, or build out investment with a subscriber-only product they won't want to lose.

We want a product manager who believes in our mission, and is excited about creating digital product experiences and tools that reflect the same level of excellence as our journalism.

Responsibilities:

• 
  

  Prioritize work based on audience needs, impact on our business goals, and input from partners and company leadership.



• 
  

  Determine roadmaps by gathering requirements, authoring product briefs and user stories, organizing the product backlog, and triaging bugs after release.



• 
  

  Maintain collaborative relationships with partners in Engineering, Design, Data, Project Management, Audience Insights, and the Newsroom.



• 
  

  Develop clear, testable hypotheses for validation.



• 
  

  Analyze performance metrics, and use this data to identify compelling opportunities, improve user experiences and produce better results.



• 
  

  Communicate with partners across the organization about your priorities and roadmap, solicit feedback, and share insights.



• 
  

  Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
