About the role
- Our team operates by a clear set of principles, and we expect this leader to embody and amplify them:
- AI is our default operating model, not an optional add-on.
- Reach beyond your explicit role to add value wherever it's needed.
Responsibilities
- Own and optimize our core subscriptions stack: paywall technology, entitlements platform, payment processing integrations, identity, and CRM tooling.
- Lead the cross-domain orchestration agenda, aligning subscriptions with Ad Tech, Mar Tech, and Commerce roadmaps so revenue surfaces work as one system rather than competing silos.
- Lead, hire, mentor, and develop a team of product managers, raising the bar on craft, speed, and AI-native execution.
- Drive revenue decisions through data, targeting improvements in conversion rates, churn reduction, and subscriber engagement across premium content.
- Own performance dashboards and deliver weekly subscriber insights to executive stakeholders.
- Drive orchestration across Ad Tech, Mar Tech, and Commerce to deliver a reader-first experience, aligning identity, audience signals, paywall decisioning, lifecycle messaging, and commerce surfaces into a single coherent journey rather than disconnected systems.
- Partner with Ad Tech product leadership to resolve trade-offs between advertising yield and subscription conversion, replacing zero-sum decisions with orchestrated outcomes.
